+7redi very ergnomic smaller knife. Lookin g forward to hearing your experiences too!

7redi what has your sharpening been like?? Before I wait 2 more years and buy maxamet para 3 haha

Using diamonds for the rough profiling down to medium then going to a sharpmaker for medium to ultrafine, it actually works fine, maybe even a little faster than S110V.

49Giants a great choice to be sure! Thanks for watching m9

Like every other blade in a folding knife dude!!!... The blade rotated from it's axis and caught part of him before he could move that part out of the way... It really doesn't need more explanation than that...

The Para 3 has a beefier and more obtuse tip then the PM2. It seems they did that on purpose to fix the PM2 tip problem. It's also likely why the Para 3 had a higher blade from edge to spine. It increases the tip angle.

I know I'm late to the party here but by accident I have found that the best way to deal with those delicate Spyderco tips is just go ahead and snap about a 1/16" off and then repair it. Yes I know that sounds crazy especially after spending a lot of money, but it will be a lot tougher if you do this. For the life of me I can't understand why Spyderco grinds their tips down to such a delicate thickness to begin with. I like a little "meat" behind my edges lol.

+subroc the ZDP is also barelt stainless, too. I think its very difficult to fit any stainlessness into such wear resistant stuff. The maxamet and Zdp both generally strop back quite well. The ZDP i have sharpened and it wasnt tooooo bad. Still notably longer than s30v for example. Maxamet is wearing its worksharp edge still and may continue to - its as sharp as I'd want right now!

Maxamet sharpens quicker than S110V to me. I’ve reprofiled both steels on a few different models and I keep observing the same. Maxamet also takes a nicer edge than S110V in my experience. That said, S110V is my favorite stainless.

+Aaron Rowe I would probably work just ad hard but it is definitely also a 'nice' knife - the titanium will get scuffed and the liner lock will migrate over etc. All superficial things, of course. The chef would have no issues actually doing hard work, for sure:

+Aaron Rowe its a little too nice, I think - the titanium will wear loads of snail trails in a work environment. Theres nothing wrong with it at all, but these two are sold on a bit of a 'beater knife' platform

I would go: Comfort/Ergos, Blades cutting ability, fidget factor, Steel (as long as its good for the price), and appearance. I think the Pm2 probably has better ergos for my hands... only just though

Ok thanks heeps peat grate video

That guy is a HACK. And wrong AF. Look at....any other review besides him and you'll see well justified praise of this steel. Again, that guy is a hack.
