Could you imagine a delica lightweight it would feel like a cloud in your damn pocket

Thank you for highlighting and supporting domestic violence shelters! 💜 --Your friendly DV advocate and knife enthusiast

Thomas Sager The delica is already lightweight

I mean, if it wasn’t too expensive, and it definitely was NOT made on earth... I’d think an alien blade was pretty special. No guarantees on quality control though, haha!

@@evshrug just check the return policy. The Zogians are a pain to deal with. Jus sayin'

Thomas h • No doubt the return shipping fees would be astronomical, as well.

I just heard my wife sigh in exasperation.

The Spyderco factory on Blorknok 6 has terrible chamfering issues, but they have some neat sprint runs with very exotic steels.

Thanks for the kind words. Tony is a reviewer I respect and trust, even when he’s absolutely dead freakin’ wrong, as in this case. 🤣

It's quantity that's all about geography.

USA made is way better than any other country

@@finneassblakley1927 no, no they aren’t. Spydercos Taichung Taiwan factory is much higher quality. What are you on boomer

freedom is

@@TheartofboxingMEX what

I got the Nexus Chef Knife on Amazon and love it. BD1N is a fantastic kitchen steel.

I love mine as well!

Yaxall makes kitchen knives in BD1N steel with Micarta handles. I have two of them in my kitchen knife block. My favorites.

@@robertalantickle160 Yes, sir! Mine is a Yaxell Dragon Fire. Best handle and steel in the business. Not too expensive, either!

Thanks for sharing the user testimonials, everyone!

Thats encouraging, I almost thought I heard Eric say the internals were different, and wouldn't allow swaps. This is awesome!

@@jesser8369 he said they try to keep everything alike, but that the blades wouldn't necessarily interchange. So, in no uncertain terms, he was saying theoretically they can be swapped, but they can't guarantee they will work 100%. As long as the tolerances are nearly identical (and Spyderco works hard on making sure they keep tight tolerances) it will be no big deal. It's just something to cover themselves in case someone does a swap and it doesn't work. But we all know it will almost certainly work.

No you didn't!

@@michaelcampbell9541 I say a prove it. Post a video or it didn't happen.

Michael Campbell it’s completely possible. There’s only a .001 difference in blade thickness. The handles are very close to the same size per spyderco’s site

Hey! I resemble that remark!

My favorite tobacky

who calls it wacky tobacky? People who have either never smoked pot or boomers

Sticky icky

Some of us don't have any problem with the standard clip. Not everything has to be deep carry, and a lot of times I prefer a non-deep carry. More to grab on to to get the knife out of pocket, and I am anti-lanyard so that wouldn't work for me. Not that I mind deep carry, but I think the Para 3 G10 is fine as it is. No hot spots for me either. Everyone is different however! The standard Para 3 is actually one of my all-time favorites and I carry it a lot.

Spyderco too hot.

Gotta keep up that good old manufactured scarcity and secondary market gouging.

I finally ordered mine today now they are back in stock. Now to wait that evil 4 days for it to arrive.

@@pitiedvod Time to stalk the mail box :-). If you hit refresh on the tracking enough, it comes quicker.

With the Spy27 steel, your Para 3 Light Weight is truly the most Spyderco of the Spyderco knives. 🔪 good choice.

Hell Yeah! LC200N all the things! I would buy 2 actually.

David Martin Portmann yellow is nice cuz it’s easy to dye any color and or keep it yellow for hi-viz

I own a Salt with the yellow frn scales but that would be cool!!

David Martin Portmann it’s a dye called rite dye . If you look through Reddit or the spyderco forum there are tons of walkthroughs on how to do it. It will work best on jade scales but it will work well on yellow too

- Trmxzer0 - I would never buy another edc knife again if the dropped p3 lw salt

Well, there's a LW Sage 5 coming.

And the worst thing... the lil native has a compression lock...

Seconded

That’s what I kept thinking before I watched this video! Love the profile of the Native, that continuous curve from blade tip to handle base. However, Shabazz makes some good points, as usual. Both have relatively thick blade stocks, same blade length, similar sized black FRN... but the Para3 LW is easier to fidget with (bigger spydie hole), has a deeper carry pocket clip (for now), and, for now, it exists and I believe it’s back in stock. The Para 3 LW being available now doesn’t just mean you don’t have to wait to get it, but also it’s a known product with all the ergonomic improvements over the original, rather than a wishlist product. What if a Native with a compression lock will have the same blade edge interacting with the lock cutout area “feature” as the ‘lil Native? I’m not saying it will, or that that is particularly a problem for everyone, but we already know the P3LW is good to go. I preordered one, and I asked BladeHQ if they accepted returns if I changed my mind. They were awesome, basically I had nothing to worry about as long as I didn’t cut with it or disassemble it so it would still be in a “new” open box condition. I don’t know how Golden does it, but the nylon has a finer finish to the handle than my Dragonfly 2 and Ladybug, the action is very smooth, and the fidget factor is strong. Other than a smaller lanyard hole, I’m not sure what a sage 5 LW will do different, and functionally the P3LW is just really good and hard to complain about unless just aesthetically you hate it. Not going to try to talk you out of pining for a Native Compression lock, but the P3LW is a keeper.

Absolutely, as Nick says the Para 3 is not space efficient in the pocket. The Native 5 more so, not as wide. The Sage 5 LW might scratch that itch, we'll see.

Spyderco like most knife companies have obligations to get knives out to their dealers before they sell any themselves on their own site so it’s best to try and get them through dealers, dealers are often cheaper as well.

I did!

Because you are a teacher( changing tablet to teacher is the edit. The Swype keyboard on my Android is almost as bad as the voice to text software.) in LA, it's an easy for me to see that it's a Grail Knife for you. The 911 might be Grail Gun for you. I certainly do not invite your job. Thank you for doing what you do.

I had avoided Para 3 till I got this, its very much like a Sage 5, which I prefer, though it costs 50% more.

Yeah, if the scales weren’t black, I’d love a set of scales I could try to dye.

that would be $3500 in gold. wouldn't say it's worth that.
