I would definitely send it back that way they can send you a new one. the edge is very important and Spyderco has higher standards than what you got. The Para 3 is an outstanding knife & I'm very sorry that you had to experience this as your first Spyderco. Unless you know how to sharpen it and don't want to hassle with shipping it back and the wait time. If you do know how to sharpen it then I would go route.
Fox knives made in Italy and are Danish designed are also a great choice. Jesper voxnaes makes great designs. He also has some knives made by crkt. If you want a cheap knife you can lose try a morakniv which are fixed blades. Or a opinel.
There are companies in the United States you can have merchants ship your items to. The companies will then box it all up for you and ship it overseas.

I would contact spyderco my friend. Just seeing that chip made me cringe 😬 I’m sure if you send an email with a picture, they’ll let you use it till they replace it with a new one since you’re so far away. Great video and review by the way
Just got my first Spyderco knife today. A PM 2 with a black S90V blade and Tiffany blue G-10 scales. It feels awesome and is so sharp out of the box. I’m definitely a Spyderco fan now. Thanks for the video.
You’re such a hard worker!! I purchased your exact knife and I love it, it’s my favorite Spyderco to this point. Keep the videos coming, and GREETINGS from Southern California, USA. GOD BLESS YOU, this is Alan
thanks. I'm an academic by trade but have never been able to get by without a pocket knife. Nobody I know can understand why I carry one until it's needed in the presence then they are amazed at how useful it is.
I prefer how the paramilitary 2 blade tip is more inline with the centerline of the hand giving you a more instinctive motion for stabbing/penetrating tasks such as packing tape on a box or bag you wish to open.
Ordered a para 3 lightweight today, can’t wait! And be careful when using the grinder on old oil barrels, they tend to still contain fumes and explode when you cut thru. Fill it with water first to be safe.
Hahaha, I have a PM2 and three young children and my wife is always complaining because I cannot stop fidgeting while watching TV and so. Great videos dude! Congrats!!
That is a very perfect knife, I could use one like that, so you never found your old knife, well, You got an even better one now, Fits great in the back pocket of the work pants, no more sore ass sitting on your knife. glad for you !
This was an awesome video. I loved getting to see the knife that I'm considering picking up for my minimalist EDC kit in action, and getting to see the beautiful scenery there, and your precious fur babies was a massive plus. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!
The Spyderco Delica is even thinner. The ZDP steel version is very nice. The half-serrated version is also very useful. Thanks for the video. I'm an American, but my ancestors came from Norway. God dag.
i am so jealous (in a good way) that you have so many animals and you enjoy this wonderful scenery every day... i wish i could live like that with my wife and 2 newborns.. but im stuck in the city.. :(
Farmer E I’ve got the s110v stell version though, because I usually need to break down a lot of cardboard to recycle it and I don’t have enough patience to sharpen the blade too often
My parents run a small ranch similar to you. You could do like my mom and just have knives everywhere! She usually has a knife of some kind hanging by all the barn doors and gates. Usually just old kitchen knives, but they work. Good edc knife choice.
Dude, I came to look at the Para 3 and ended up looking at how fun your life looks! Good on you. If you're after a second knife and don't want to break the bank, I'd recommend the Ontario Rat II. If you're wanting something you casn drop on the floor and not worry about losing it then get the Rat in orange. It's around $50 so a great 'beater' knife. Anyway, really enjoyed your video! Thanks again :)
Happy to hear you did not select the buyout. Benchmade makes a great knife and all, but the bugout is not the best offering. Spyderco also makes a superior product. I own several of each, I like the para 3 so much I own two. I also have a manix 2 with awt aluminum scales, to cut down some weight.
First timer watching & love the farming. I operate tractors & equipment for work too. I’m a knife🔪 enthusiast & Para 3 is my favorite field EDC knife👍🏻. Can’t go wrong w/Para 3 or Paramilitary 2 (bigger size) I use a serrated one too for plant material. Now that QC for the chipped blade is out of norm for Spyderco....I’d definitely reach out to the sender🤔. I Will stay tuned 🚜!
Thanks, man! I´m new to the whole knife scene, but i can really see why people get hooked on knives! I love it! Really considering the para 2, i´ll probably go there eventually. Thanks for watching!
I own several Spydercos, different steel types, never seen one that was chipped like that, its a real shame as they have an outstanding reputation for quality?
@@eddymaldonado7991 ... he did say he purchased it from a reseller. He pinned a comment to the top of the comment thread. Stating it was from a reseller and not directly from spyderco. Either way they shouldn't of sold him a defective knife and checked twice. Unfortunately mistakes happen.
Just discovered your channel.. sweet editing! You being any other than a farmer is kinda hard to believe.. subbed. Oh yeah, get the Para 2 for your next bigger blade.
The Spyderco salt series is great for farming (corrosion-proof, so super easy to clean). For a veggie farmer, a longer serrated Atlantic or Pacific model would be perfect harvest knives. Or the Native salt, for the standard utility stuff shown in the video (the native is nicely stout and compact).
As I´m from Sweden myself I immediately saw from the bulding style that it was from Scandinavia but not before I clicked on "more" in the description I found out that you´re Norwegian. You speak excellent english with just a hint of nordic accent! I find that many Norwegians sound a lot like Jens Stoltenberg when speaking english.... 🙃 Thx for a great video! Love the sense of humour! 🙂 You just got a new subscriber! 👍 Spyderco make great knives btw... 👌
It's a great knife, sucks about the edge but it will sharpen out, only thing with the para 3 is the thin tip so long as you don't pry with it it will serve you well. But that goes with any knife(no prying). And the paramilitary 2 is also a great knife if you want to go a size up in the same model
Hey, this is a really great video. Well shot and it's a nice change of pace seeing a knife put to some good use like that. In my opinion, though, you dodged a bullet by not getting the Bugout. It's a great knife, don't get me wrong. But for your type of use and being based outside the US, the Bugout would likely break down before the Para 3 and sending it in for warranty would be a pain. For your second knife, I'd recommend something a little more hard use, like maybe a Zero Tolerance or, if the budget can swing it, a Hinderer or Chris Reeve knife. Those are expensive but lifetime knives. If you want to stick with Spyderco, I'd get a Shaman.
Hey, thanks!! Do you still think the same about the Bugout after the "upgrade"? I´ll check out the ones you suggested for the second knife, thanks. Didn´t think i´d care to much about knives, but this has gotten me fired up, and i will definitely own more than one knife, for sure!
Farmer E Definitely! The Bugout is a great knife, but if I were you, especially for a work knife, I would go with something intended for a little more hard use like the Spyderco Shaman. And trust me, I know how it is. I had about 4-5 knives under two years ago. Now I have WAY too many. 😂 If you ever want to talk knives or TH-cam or have any questions, hit me up on Instagram under the same name.

I know you have got this one 2 years ago I would seriously sugest you get a QSP penguin they are cheap D2 steel so good blade steel. Razor sharp and the sheeps foot blade is good for many horticulture and farm tasks.
So I bought the para 3 after watching your video I was on the fence about but you put in work with your knife looks like it takes a beating so I’m sold do you still love your knife
Hey brother, you are the old school bust your ass to get the job done. I don’t know to much about Norway, but it looks cold!! Lol😂. I have 2 of the Para 3’s, they are great, very sharp and the mechanism is flawless. Love your channel, keep up the good work, GREETINGS from. Southern California, this is Alan. God Bless you! John 14:6
I have carried the spider on para 3 for months it is one of the best knives period for every day carry. If you lose that one get the Spyderco Manix 2 with s30v blade steel heavy duty perfection yet light enough to comfortably carry.
I know they aren't the same quality but have you considered a Mora kniv fixed blade and just wear it on your belt around the farm fixed blades are easier to use, never shut on your fingers and the mora are so durable and cheap they are almost throw away items. Also bright coloured handles and sheaths make them easy to find when you drop them or put it down somewhere and forget.
What is this for impressive production value lol. Instant sub. The back of the knife handle, on the inside, the g10 is sometimes a little to sharp and could eat your jeans a little. You can round it a little with some fine sanding paper.
Great choice. Spyderco is a great value and the that lock allows safe one handed closure. The Spyderco PM2 is much the same except bigger. All you need is a course and medium diamond stone to grind out that pesky chip. Nice video, especially the drone shots. Also, thanks for taking us to work with you. Gives good perspective.
I think you made a good choice with the para3. I really enjoy my manix2 from spyderco but I feel like the tip is ground too thin like the para to be a really hard use knife. I would have recommended a cold steel code 4, American lawman or recon1 for you being a farmer and what not. With that being said my manix 2 has had been through a lot and is still kicking
You should call Spyderco along with sending this video! IMO they would send you a perfect PM3 replacement. No need to buy a knife with chips in the blade unless the seller is selling used items and not claiming them as used. USA Spyderco stands behind their product from my experience.
Sorry to hear you lost your knife , I've been there. When you first said you were considering a new one I immediately thought Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Those chips in the edge should not have been there. Spyderco is one of the very best knife companies and no way would they have let that blade leave the factory in that condition. Benchmade is also a good company but the Para 3 is so much more robust than the Bugout. If you sharpen you can get those chips out. Please don't use one of those pull- through sharpeners. Removes too much material & rounds the point. Hope you got the Para 2 by now. Really liked that you showed you working around your farm & loved that you included the dogs. Good music too. Stay well.
You need a Leatherman Skelatool CX. I’ve been EDC’ing it and the para 3 since the para 3 was released. I can’t be without pliers. Great video! Spyderco should send you another Para 3 free of charge for that chipped blade and for advertisement in this well made video. Cheers!
Farmer Watch this! th-cam.com/video/S-61ym8c1g0/w-d-xo.html It’s actually one of their most popular minimalist tools, the quality is impressive. Not big at all, very light weight. Has just what you need. Leatherman has a 25 year warranty as well. If you break it, send it back and they will send you a brand new one within a week or two. Great company!

So, i did buy this as a new knife, but from a reseller, not from Spyderco.
from which re-seller did you get this? :))) I personally fancy knivesandtools.com, great guys
I would definitely send it back that way they can send you a new one. the edge is very important and Spyderco has higher standards than what you got. The Para 3 is an outstanding knife & I'm very sorry that you had to experience this as your first Spyderco. Unless you know how to sharpen it and don't want to hassle with shipping it back and the wait time. If you do know how to sharpen it then I would go route.
Fox knives made in Italy and are Danish designed are also a great choice.
Jesper voxnaes makes great designs.
He also has some knives made by crkt.
If you want a cheap knife you can lose try a morakniv which are fixed blades.
Or a opinel.

@@antonssergejevs3205 agreed lamnia in Finland are also brilliant
Dude Spyderco should send u a new knife that chip is uncalled for
They would fix the chip, but I understand not waiting. Great video man. Quality stuff.
@R A they would since it came out the box like that
Agree that is ridiculous. Should re place the blade free
No way is that knife brand new, Spyderco would never let that pass through quality inspections. Where did you get this knife from?
@@Rick-mo2zm i agree Rick. I've never had a bad spyderco out of the box. Sal and Eric Glesser would freak out seeing that!
You're such a likable dude. I love the production quality of your videos. Subscribed! cant wait for more!
Thank you so much, Taylor! That makes me so happy and inspired to hear!
Agreed, and subscribed. I only wanted to see your opinion of the para 3, but I love your videos.
Thank you, Robert!
Agree, must have been a hell of a trouble to run, place the camera and run back to the tractor for every shot on this footage
Yes i was so suprised of the video i was expecting some dude just do useless stuff but this guy was working
Just stumbled across this video researching spyderco you're a sound dude got my subscription
Thank you!
Spyderco should give you a free one for this
"The Fidget Factor".......I love the amazing sense of humour in your videos, .......They really set my day off so well. THANKS.
Thank YOU, Dave! Words like this makes my so happy! Thanks for watching!
for a farmer, I must say the videography is superb
I would contact spyderco my friend. Just seeing that chip made me cringe 😬 I’m sure if you send an email with a picture, they’ll let you use it till they replace it with a new one since you’re so far away. Great video and review by the way
Good choice my friend. Don't lose it.

I can’t believe how anyone can live without one!!
Thanks for watching, Joseph!
Bought one….damn you….the para3 is a proper edc. Good size and is good for any outdoor/ field work.
Your igniting barrel, handful of hot-dogs, and opening of beer segment was amazing.
I prefer how the paramilitary 2 blade tip is more inline with the centerline of the hand giving you a more instinctive motion for stabbing/penetrating tasks such as packing tape on a box or bag you wish to open.
Wow at the vinyl bag over the bale.
Glad to see u open the beer with the knife. Thats a real user 😊
Ordered a para 3 lightweight today, can’t wait! And be careful when using the grinder on old oil barrels, they tend to still contain fumes and explode when you cut thru. Fill it with water first to be safe.
you can also use a sawzall instead of a grinder since it doesn't throw sparks, negates having to fill with water before hand 👍
Spyderco Endura has been my EDC for many years.
I will definitely check it out!
I got over 20 spyderco knives...never have I got a blade like that. That's a shame. They should take care of you asap!
Great vid.
They did! Thanks, man!
@@FarmerE Nice! Spyderco knives are great.
@@FarmerE spyderco is the best knife on the market hope it didnt change your mind

That is a very perfect knife, I could use one like that, so you never found your old knife, well, You got an even better one now, Fits great in the back pocket of the work pants, no more sore ass sitting on your knife. glad for you !
I´m sure it will turn up eventually! But in the meantime, i have a truly great knife! I´m really fond of it.
Thanks, Virgil!
@@FarmerE You are welcome, I will be anxiously waiting for your next video,
Well, I think Spyderco should send you a Para 2 for the chip and the review. Then you can do a comparison video.
This was an awesome video. I loved getting to see the knife that I'm considering picking up for my minimalist EDC kit in action, and getting to see the beautiful scenery there, and your precious fur babies was a massive plus. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!

i am so jealous (in a good way) that you have so many animals and you enjoy this wonderful scenery every day... i wish i could live like that with my wife and 2 newborns.. but im stuck in the city.. :(
Para 3 is by far my favourite pocket knife. It provides all I require both in the city and on my dacha or out in the wild
It sure is a great knife
Farmer E I’ve got the s110v stell version though, because I usually need to break down a lot of cardboard to recycle it and I don’t have enough patience to sharpen the blade too often
My parents run a small ranch similar to you. You could do like my mom and just have knives everywhere! She usually has a knife of some kind hanging by all the barn doors and gates. Usually just old kitchen knives, but they work. Good edc knife choice.

I love it!
Yeah, it is beautiful. Although, i don’t allways notice when living in it.
You also have an amazing scenery!
There is a version of this knife being sold in maxamet steel right now. Can't wait for mine to arrive
This channel is so wholesome.
Thank you, Dustin!
I think this is a great reminder that your pocket knife needs to work with gloves which this brand of knife can do

Good Choice I have the same Knife same color but mine is the Paramilitary 2
such a cool video ! great work on the shots and editing
Check out the Spyderco Manix 2 lightweight or the Paramilitary 2 for your bigger size knives.
Keep it up. You're in the right track. Having a knife is more important than make up kits 😊
Glad you got a dependable knife.
I like it a lot!

Farmer E I love my PM2, BladeHQ has an exclusive one in S35VN.
The Spyderco salt series is great for farming (corrosion-proof, so super easy to clean). For a veggie farmer, a longer serrated Atlantic or Pacific model would be perfect harvest knives. Or the Native salt, for the standard utility stuff shown in the video (the native is nicely stout and compact).

@@FarmerE That is Awesome!! I knew Spyderco would take care of you. I love that mug!! I want one now!
Sorry to hear you lost your knife , I've been there. When you first said you were considering a new one I immediately thought Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Those chips in the edge should not have been there. Spyderco is one of the very best knife companies and no way would they have let that blade leave the factory in that condition. Benchmade is also a good company but the Para 3 is so much more robust than the Bugout. If you sharpen you can get those chips out. Please don't use one of those pull- through sharpeners. Removes too much material & rounds the point. Hope you got the Para 2 by now.
Really liked that you showed you working around your farm & loved that you included the dogs. Good music too. Stay well.
Thank you, Tom! Still no pm2, though i would love one. But i got this in stead! th-cam.com/video/r1Nyf4SjkHs/w-d-xo.html
Tienes que ver y probar la Wesn Allman, brutal!!! You have to see and try the Wesn Allman, brutal !!!
I would definitely suggest the Benchmade 940 for a work knife
ryan tracey Thanks, i’ll check it out!
I've just got mine I got the one with m390 steel love it
Congratulations! I really love mine too
I hope u have put a very bright paracord lanyard on it brother! The rolled edges would probably strop out on light sandpaper/leather.
The Spyderco PM2 would be a better option out on the farm
A spyderco paramilitary 2 might do you good
Oh, i do too...
Great video! Love the Para 3.
The paramilitary 2 is the step in size from the para 3 brother.
You need a Leatherman Skelatool CX. I’ve been EDC’ing it and the para 3 since the para 3 was released. I can’t be without pliers. Great video! Spyderco should send you another Para 3 free of charge for that chipped blade and for advertisement in this well made video. Cheers!
Thanks, Tyler! I´ve been thinking about adding a Leatherman for the sake of pliers! But i´m thinking the Skelatool would be a little big?
Farmer Watch this! th-cam.com/video/S-61ym8c1g0/w-d-xo.html
It’s actually one of their most popular minimalist tools, the quality is impressive. Not big at all, very light weight. Has just what you need. Leatherman has a 25 year warranty as well. If you break it, send it back and they will send you a brand new one within a week or two. Great company!
