Spyderco Para 3 M4 BladeHQ Exclusive M4 Review & Comparison to the PM 2, & Military. Also Batoning.

Күн бұрын

The Spyderco Para 3 is a scaled down version of the Para Military 2, and also similar to the full sized military. This review of the Exclusive Bladehq edition in natural jade G10 and M4, compares it to the PM2, Military, Ontario Rat, Delica 4 Wharncliffe, and the Caribbean. I test the lock strength through batoning, and wear some real pretty shorts. All in all it features the Advanced Knife Bro formula for a knife review. If you like these knives buy the non limited versions below to support the channel.

The Para 3 is my favorite pocketknife of all time, by a wide margin. I have four of them, the natural/M4 model you have, a standard black/S30V, a black/black coated S30V, and a blurple/S110V. All of them have Lynch titanium deep carry clips. Small enough to fit in my watch pocket for work when I carry my Leatherman Free P4 in my main pocket, big enough to do anything I ever want to do with a pocketknife, some of the best action I’ve ever felt, silky smooth and VERY solid, perfectly centered, and about as good a slicer as you can get in that wide a blade shape without making the tip fragile as glass. It’s utterly perfect for me.

I purchased the last M4/natural g10 para2 with the black coating and love it. I need to find someone to re profile the edge, but the m4 has held. I agree though, anything smaller than the pm2 would only get minor pocket time. I also sanded down the part of the g10 where the clip meets the scales, no pocket ware, probably loss on the secondary market though.

@AaronIsaak47 6 жыл бұрын

Great review as always, nice props to Cedric and Ada another great Aussie channel. Anyway Ive been intrigued by the PM3 for ages. You say PM2 is best for EDC but whenever I carry it for work in Australia I feel like someone might find it too offensive and weaponish like I might get jumped on by security. Crazy knife laws here. So Im really tempted by the smaller more “utilitarian” size of the PM3. With the PM2 being so perfect in the hand, my question to you fine sir is are you really giving up much in the ergos dept by going with the smaller frame design? Blade length to me is no problem but I dont want it to feel too crampy in the hand during use?

@AdvancedKnifeBro 6 жыл бұрын

That's why I prefer the PM2 because of larger blade and handle grip area.

I bought a PM2 on your recommendation (hit up Spyderco for your cut) and I'm really enjoying it. I was just wondering though about how long until it breaks in? I know it's based on use but I really can't deploy it easily right now and I didn't know if I should wait more (only got it Sunday) or adjust the pivot screws.

@AdvancedKnifeBro 6 жыл бұрын

Adjust the pivot... my PM2 and Yojimbo 2 were both second hand so I couldnt say how they were. The P3 was really the only compression lock I've ever been satisfied with out of the box. The sage 5 and the caribbean were both too stiff to be enjoyable.
