New knife time!

[JohnPlav]

Early Christmas gift… another new knife.  I checked out a bunch and settled on this one.  Spyderco Para 3.  Happy with it so far!

Nice knife just don't lay it down in the woods, you'll never find it.  LOL

I keep a rapala bait knife in my bag for field dressing… white handle is tough to lose.  Unless there’s snow of course, then it’s as good as gone.  Good thing they’re cheap and I have a bunch of them.

Congrats ! The  Para is a very much, loved knife among Spyderco fans , perhaps the most loved . A scaled down version of the Military model . 
 

I like the compression lock , it’s on my Yojimbo too . I do struggle with the blade to handle ratio of the Para but that’s a personal hang up .

Ive not bought many knives since I retired, and tend to carry just a few of the many I have , but I’ve looked at some of the Para’s and Benchmade  Bugout interests me . 
 

Ha I did just buy a Mora Eldris totally destroying my blade to handle ratio hang up lol ! It’s a cool little pocket fixed blade that I can’t wait the dress a deer with . Hair popping sharp .

Nice knife! I’m a complete spiderco fanboy and own a pile of them!

Nice! i don't have any Spyderco knives just a couple Benchmades or budget stuff for folders. i've gotta think S45 is good. i've got S30 and S90. The S30 doesn't hold an edge as well but damn the S90v blade is a *&&^% to sharpen and takes time.

Nice.  I love my folding pocket knives.  As far as the deer knife, I now carry an orange handle Morakniv.  Stands out in the woods and in the snow.

Yea the S45 sounds like a great balance.  This is the most Iv spent on a pocket knife, but I’m sure it’ll get a lot of use in the rotation.  And I checked out a few benchmades, something tells me I’ll add one soon.

Spyderco have their fans. I love the camo but I’d be worried about losing it too. I’m looking into Montana Knife Company. They seem to be trendy but nice looking pieces.

The wife made Christmas easy for me this year. She mentioned that she wanted to get a pocket knife back in October. So I picked up a Kershaw Scallion. This will be her first real knife so I figured I get her a good quality blade.

New sheath for an old knife!  I picked up this old “lil finger” a while back.  It didn’t come with a sheath so my dad made one.  Came out great.

Looks great!
