I'm so in love with the PM2, but yeah, it can seem a bit large in pocket at times. Completely stoked about the P3. It's going to the top of my "to buy" list. Thanks for showing.

Damn I am glad I subbed to your channel yesterday, I would have missed this! Can't wait!

Just want to say that I love the new series of videos you guys have been doing. You two are great together on camera, and the little editing nuances are hilarious.

I just want to know when I can buy one!

The editing is very well done on these! Great stuff.

I may need to pick one of these up soon. Thanks for the review

These are great videos. Love them.

I used to be a construction worker and would wear gloves constantly. I fell in love with the PM2 because I could use it with gloves just as easily as I if I didn't have gloves on

Great videos guys. Keep it up!

...yeh..it is pretty awesome looking!..I love the smaller handle too!..After I get this one I'll have all three!

When PM3 is folded, is it bigger/ wider than Sage 5? I mean the dimension. I have a Sage 5 and think it's kinda wide when it's folded, take too much space in my pocket.

Dude this knife is the shit! I know I'm a little late but I finally got one of these and it is absolutely sweet! I've owned a PM1 and a Delica in the past but this is the nicest out of all. Good upload!

Thanks for the video. Great to see the pm3 finally. For a first look video I would have liked to have seen a bit more close up view of the actual knife.

I love how they didn’t just scale it down, they kind of made it different but similar

Any news on whether they will do a DLC coated blade on the para3? I have the black/black pm2 and would like the same configuration. You know, for continuity.

really like the "Banter" format - keep it up!

So stoked for this!!!

How's the handle to blade ratio in hand? I have a para3 on pre order and want to be sure it's the same as the pm2

This is on my short list for my next knife. Id love a version with a Wave opener, but Im sure I could get used to the thumb hole.

I love the look of this. My much loved mini-Griptilian might hit the drawer once these come out.

congrats to the winner. Santa came thru like a boss this year. totally have a 5.5 Cold Steel Talwar. it's awesome.

Great knife! We might have to add it to our collection.

More Spyderco! Love it!

curious to see how this matches up with the sage 5

Keep up the awesome videos!

Love this knife bought it based on your review 👌🏾

OMG I can't wait to get one are they gonna bring it out in blurple

I like the knife for EDC in dress pants. Lighter, smaller and a little less imposing than my PM2 when in mixed company. Good add to the series. Id like even more to win it!

Any idea what Torx wrench it is to switch the pocket carry

R there gonna be different handle colors and blade coating?

Flipping my Blurple pm2 while watching this!!!

are there any first run markings on them?

how's the action? does it fall shut like the pm2?

Para 2 needs some help clip came lose and screw got lose ... doesn't open and close smoothly after years of carrying it any suggestions???

Cool knife, I love these

Will it come with the dlc coating like it's bigger counterpart?

Love my PM2! I'll probably pick one of these up just because, but I would love to see a Paramilitary style of the Military! Make it a Military 2!

My pivot broke overnight after i screwd the screws a bit more because they werent on the same surface level as the g10 handles! I am completely dissapointed. Any ideas? The knife is useless , unless i buy a new pivot for 30 dollars

hey guys just ordered a PM3. the PM2 is a touch long for my like in. hope the PM3 fits into my personal sweet spot

What's the opening hole diameter? Dosen't say on Spydercos page anymore?? I think the 14mm on the Paramilitary 2 are to big, was hoping they would make it smaller on this, since the whole knife are smaller. Almost a deal breaker if the hole are the same size...

Hi. Two questions. In the video you mentioned that it had a lock pin instead of the torx screw. Does this mean it can't be disassembled? Second question: what's the steel? Sv30, sv35??

you guys are awesome! I am a new knife guy and you are the most helpful resource! I have owned a lot of knives but all cheap stuff. lower end kershaws and what have you. recently I spent a little chunk on a griptillian and now see what I have been missing with better quality knives! I love it! I wasn't too keen on the spyderco action so I purchased a tenacious from walmart and taught myself a couple of different ways to open it (thumb flick and spydie flick) and am quickly becoming a fan. What you both think of the Manix2? I like the axis lock on my grptln and think that the lock on the manix2 is right up my alley. I lean towards a bigger knife these days so I would get the xl probably. I haven't always preferred bigger knives. I carried a crkt pikes peak for along time and still do at work. I can get it razor sharp, and it is nice and compact. so your thoughts would be appreciated.

Lost my first one last week 😞. Bought it July of 2018. Was going to switch it up and buy a different EDC knife but I ended up buying the para 3 again

On BladeHQ business trips, I guarantee these two share a bed.

can anyone tell me what the spinny thing at the end of the second banter episode was. that was the one about Austin's knife addiction

Great review! I just subscribed.

Spyderco Para3 is Awesome knife ever!!!😄😄😄👍

thanks for explaining that the P3 is a one hand knife. i work in a warehouse and my current knife has a back lock that shits me to tears.

this is an exciting video!

Great vid guys! 😂😄👍👊😄🍻

Is the thumb hole the same size?

is it going to come with a black blade?

Looks like an excellent little EDC, I already think the PM2 is the best folder ever made but is a little large and scary to non-knife folks. Nice discussion guys but a few more up close and comparison shots of the knives wouldve been appreciated, I didnt really get a sense of the knife in this video, it was simply sitting horizontal on the table, most of the time. We want to see the PM3 not just hear your thoughts on it.

On my wish-list.

Wow I just spent all my money on a benchmade 940, time to start saving up again

I've never been a fan of Spyderco but I can see the appeal they have to those that do.

Never have I felt my PM2 to be too large or heavy to carry or wished it was any smaller

Eu prefiro o II. Eu Gostei porém não entendi a mudança de tamanho. Qual o objetivo? Já existiam outras lâminas semelhantes ao para3. Eu não entendi a mudança.

Cheers Mate!

4 Inch Para 4 please Spyderco 2017 that would be exciting!

I love pm2, bought many of them tho, can not carried in CALIFORNIA where I lived, often in the house or in the pelican box. Finally Yahhh hoooo PARA 3 with 3" blade oh yeah I can legally carried with me now, can't wait!!!! Let hope there's more options for the Handle scales.

ITS HERE!

I have Spyderco Para 3 In black G10 today too!!!😄👌 Aka I LOVE IT.😍😍😍😍👍💙❤💚💜

I've always wanted a pm2, now the pm3 is out, God I wish I had the budget for a knife like this.

love it

I'd like to see some long narrow blades from Spyderco. I have a lot of Spydercos; but I don't carry them because they are so wide. Just feels like it takes up my whole pocket. Spyderco could take their entire line up and release them under a separate name and narrow the blades and use thumb studs.

Is the tip any thicker than the pm2?

@ben how did you get your delica that loose?

BladeHQ has it for $120. I kinda thought it would cheaper and I'm pretty torn about buying one or the para 2.

lefty version of this? also when does the lefty pm2 come out?

well the pm 3 is probably the best knife for edc in the pm line now I want one

just bought my first ever spydie and i picked the pm3 👍 sends out 2marro

I would love to know the prices of those tools , before I go out to purchase one ? 🤠👍🏽

I'll definitely get one of these. Also hope there's a compression lock Military on the drawing board somewhere.

Not a big fan of the compression lock but it is a cool knife! I like small Spydercos, been carrying a Caly 3 for years.

How does it compare to the tenacious. Blade shape and size?

yea,i seem to hear this all the time, pm2 is nice!but just a little big to carry,for me its also to large for my EDC!the new para 3 looks about right though and probably my next spyderco,although wish they would use S110 for its steel or even M4 would make it that much better!i'll get this one and throw it in the collection,thanks guys good review.

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT'S CALLED...I'm calling it the paraminitary

Beginning of Month September I Get to Spyderco Para3 too!😄

what's with the pin, no aftermarket scales for this knife, I'll keep my Sage 5.

Is that stop pin pinned to the frame?

that spidey flick got me

sign me up!!! now how long are we going to have to wait before we can actually get it with out having to wait a million years because of it selling out with in seconds lol

Holy Moly! :)

Nice

Im torn between getting a delica 4 or this. Any thoughts?

Ben is back!!!

Are they gonna ship tip up?

Well crap. I'd like to see a military sized paramilitary 2....

I LOVE spyderco knives. However, they are just a bit too wide for me to edc. Not thick, but from the spine of the scales to the spine of the blade. When it's in my pocket I have a hard time getting past it when trying to fish something else out of that pocket. Maybe the para 3 is better but I have a manix and a tenacious and I don't carry them on regular work days because it just takes up too much pocket real estate. If I am working outside or out in the woods I carry one of my spideys in my back pocket but at the office day to day I carry something slimmer so I can still use my front pocket as well as have a knife in it.

Thanks for the first look fellas. A couple of questions: 1) what is the difference between a pinned rather than torx screwed stop pin? and 2) any reason that you know of that Spyderco isn't offering factory deep-carry pocket clips? Seems like a natural for the Para3 especially. Anywho, as a YUUUUGE Spydie fan and owner of a quiver of Spyderco blades I can't wait to see how the Para3 progresses and hopefully we'll see some BHQ sprint run handle scale options. BTW - a Delica4 is my current most-frequent EDC although my Para2 is my "goin'-to-town" EDC. Both purchased from BHQ!

awsomeeeee

Would LOVE to see a Para 3 in a different steel.Waiting for the sprint runs.

need one

It’s already been 4 years damn

YEAHHHHHHH boi!

smock knives have been making these for years

..people bitching about the handle being to small was one of the reasons they made the para 2..im glad i still have the para 1..there wasn't nothing wrong with the first one..

Is the steel the same??

para 3 giveaway??? nice knife just ordered the 2, if I like that one enough I might get the 3 for carrying in basketball shorts lol
