I love the para 3 lw! It's a must have for any collection and it is a great edc knife. Thanks for sharing this with us. Keep up the great work my friend.
I like the idea of a lightweight Spyderco . I only have a PM2 , but love it !!! My pet peeve about any of the lightweight spydercos is that they look just like the knives that sit in the big buckets at the corner stores next to the cash register ether the ball chain through them . I know they are great knives , but that’s where my mind goes when I see them ... thanks for the video . Take Care Zach !!
Zach’s Stuff on that note , I didn’t care for the PM2 when I saw it in pictures and videos . But so many people loved them , I just decided to finally try one . As soon as it came out of the box , I loved it . Those visual impressions can be deceiving . I’m sure one day I’ll get over it and try a lw spyderco !! Thanks again !! Take care ..
I have several FRN Spyerdercos and love FRN, many do not but whatever. Though my favorite locking of theirs is the para 3 and pm2 ones, it they usually on come in G10. So I’m wanting a lightweight model, but not sure on what steel, spy27 being newish, I don’t k ow much about it.
The para 3 lw is my favorite Spyderco hands down so I absolutely have to get the Spy27. I actually got an alert for it earlier I probably need to check lol. Great video as always!
I have a decent benchmade collection including bugout. Also have a decent Spyderco collection. Picked up the para 3 lightweight about three weeks ago and it has been my main squeeze since. I love the color, super light weight with a deep carry. Mine is broken in now and super figgit friendly. Definitely love this knife. Great for the summertime with a pair of shorts. Like the bugout you forget it’s there.
I have loved Spydercos since my first one in 1991, but I tend to like bigger knives. My PM2 is usually my go to. I picked up a fully blacked out Para 3 lightweight about 2 months ago and it has been in my pocket ever since. It is such a good knife. Now Spyderco needs to make a PM2 lightweight in SPY27.
I had the standard para 3 lightweight in cts-bd1n and I liked it okay but I just sold it over the weekend and I got a regular pm2 in s30v on the way and I went ahead and ordered a LynchNW clip for it. I wasn’t crazy about the frn and I hadn’t got to try out a pm2 yet. Also when I wanted to carry a lightweight knife I tended to grab my bugout more often.
Okay nice! The PM2's are a solid big knife! Bonus points on the LynchNW Clip! I wander towards a Bugout myself on occasion so I can see why. Thanks for the feedback!
I might give it a try just to have a sample of the steel in the collection but I'll probably never carry it. The rumor I heard was this is supposed to be a US produced version of VG-10 and it seems to fall just about in that range for performance.
Overall being exclusive, it showed in early to be between S30-S35. Knife Steel Nerds did a good article here: knifesteelnerds.com/2020/01/15/spyderco-exclusive-cpm-spy27-steel-analysis/
Zach’s Stuff I’ve kind of given up chasing sprints with a few exceptions. Only thing I’m really keeping up with right now is waiting for the K390 Delica to drop.
It is for all intents and purposes S35VN. Same hardness and corrosion resistance, less edge retention, more ease of sharpening. But the steps up or down are going to be small, probably below tne discernable threshold for the average person. By formula it seems to be designed for high heat and secondary hardening. So why not just use S35VN?
The para 3 lightweight is perfection
It carries so easy and just gets it done!!
@@zachstuffpara 3 lightweight and Benchmade 940 are my two favorite carries.
Two great choices!@@jlogue751
I like the Red FRN & just ordered the SPY27 today!
All-time favorite Knife Spyderco.
Right on!!!
I was just at sekw in Myrtle beach great shop!
Oh sweet!!! Good people!
Zach’s Stuff yeah for sure !

Thank you Drew! I have found myself with the LW's more than the standard version.

Great video Zach, that black one is gorgeous. It will be interesting to see how that new steel will work. 👊🏻😷
Thank you! I have been looking at early testing on the SPY27 and hopefully it will work out good for them!

Thanks Tier 1 for the support and yes I have enjoyed the Para 3 LW's!!!
Digging that blue, and interested to see how that spy27 holds up
I am with yah Badmunky!!!
Agreed they have my attention lol 🍻
I Am gonna purchase and pm3 light weight full Black 😍 during this summer

Really like that blue although I do prefer the g10 option. Look forward to seeing your test results. Atb paddy 👍😃☘️
Okay nice Paddy! Appreciate you buddy! 🤙🏼

Awesome looking knife 👍
Thanks Kevin!
Thanks for the look not sure about the LW but very interested in the steel. Need more LH knives in the world ✌️
Para 3 Lw is one of the best edc knives ever made. I have two, dlt and regular lw, swapped blades and I'm carrying black para 3 Lw with m390 steel.

I want to check out CPM SPY27. I don't own a LW, but have a Para 3 in maxamat.
Cool Rusty! How do you like the Maxamat??
@@zachstuff Its great until you have to sharpen it. I like it so much I got my PM2 in it.
Sweeeeeeet blade killer vid -- love the l/w's -- and that blades yours to do whatchalike 👍👍 - some other spy models should be dropping soon
Awesome thank you Chad!
I'm still hoping for a para 3 left hand version like the PM2 LH in light weight would be nice as well. Thanks for sharing 👍
That will be nice if they make one.....hopefully soon! Thanks Menace!
Left handed people are the devil 😈
Good looking knife. I really do like that blue. The pocket clip looks a little cheap to me. Just my opinion. But I would definitely pick one up.
I am hoping for a thicker aftermarket version of that pocket clip too! Thanks Big Cheese!

I am a little more than half way to my GoFundMe goal. If you don’t mind keep sharing my GoFundMe link
Right on Talbert!
Very nice! Just a question do the lightweight use different scales than the normal PM3???
From what I saw comparing, yes. Thanks TOJO!
Have you heard what spy27 is aimed more towards accomplishing better?

Zach’s Stuff thanks man
Curious to see how it holds up. I would put the blue hardware on that one if you keep it.
Wait, they did a sprint in M390?? How in the heck did I miss that?!
I know right??!! They sneak them out!
Zach’s Stuff To be fair, they do so darn many it’s near impossible to keep up.
@@krazykat64 I'm learning lots about this technique!
Zach’s Stuff I’ve kind of given up chasing sprints with a few exceptions. Only thing I’m really keeping up with right now is waiting for the K390 Delica to drop.
Whoa a K390 sprint??!! Okay good call!
