I am very pleased with this knife, it is one of the nicest knives I have had the pleasure of owning and carrying. The level of resistance as you open the blade is, in a word, dialed. It's just enough to feel solid, but not so much as to slow it down. It locks up with remarkably satisfying confidence. This is By Far the best version of the Para3 you can get. The performance of Maxamet steel is beyond description and has to be experienced by every knife enthusiast. If you are on the fence, I'd recommend not to hesitate, before they're gone. Spyderco goes far and beyond every higher-end production company in every aspect.

While I like knives with larger blades, this knife is a perfect edc. The Maxamet blade is incredibly sharp, and it holds an edge. I’m wearing it today.
