This knife is the most comfortable I ever had. The fit and finish is great and very easy to deploy. Super sharp and the pocket clip is wonderful. This is a knife worth buying and WMK does a great job with service and shipping.

After hearing reviews I settled on the para 3. This is an awesome knife. Great size for edc, not too big, not too small. Spy 27 steel comes amazingly sharp. It’s just a quality knife that I’d recommend to anyone. Fidget factor is off the charts as well!

This is the most capable EDC knife billed as a lightweight that I've had.

It's been tasked with work duty ( pallet straps and cardboard ) and EDC uses though not enough to have to sharpen yet. CPM-SPY27 seems like a good steel for its class and mine does strop up more easily to a sticky, crisp edge than my examples of S30V, S35VN and S45VN.

I haven't exposed it to anything I'd expect to corrode a stainless powdered steel but all of the reports seem to point toward it being as stainless as or more so than S35VN which, I don't have problems with through normal use.

The design is very ergonomic and lends itself well to leveraging power through longer cuts and tougher materials. While the construction is very light, I've had no reason to feel it couldn't handle the moderate strain I've exposed it to.

Mine is also perfectly centered which was initially a concern of mine after reading much about alignment issues. Perhaps that will change over time with more use but I can't see it getting off center enough that it would touch either scale. The lockup is also sturdy and complete leaving zero wiggle in any direction.
Mine is so smooth in operation and falls shut when actuating the compression lock.

I genuinely believe this is a 5 star execution of a knife in the lightweight class.

Great knife for EDC, and White Mountain Knives is the best place to get it! Justin is Excellent !
