Pros & Cons
Pros
This knife is the right size. The serrated edge is wickedly sharp. It will meet every other situation you may find yourself in. It is great for paramilitary use and for use with a glove.
Cpms30v is a charm to sharpen and strop. If you want something smaller go with the para 3!
After carrying/using for several months, i have to say this is a standout among the various spydercos in the collection. The one downside is that it can be overpriced for some audiences. Only downside so far is it’s really tight.
Great action with the phosphor bronze washers and the compression lock. In terms of functionality the action is smooth, the blade is solid and cuts very good.
Everything feels sturdy. Not the lightest spyderco, but definitely sturdy. It isn't light but not overly heavy to me.
Cons
Probably a return. Very disappointing. Very crude knife.

In terms of functionality the action is smooth the blade is solid and cuts very good right out of the box
Ergonomics are spot on in the hand feels like a fixed blade comfort
Competitiveness
Went through a spat of spyderco purchases and love their knives overall quality and for the most part price point
It cleans up nicely on a spyderco medium and fine followed by a green pasted strop
Overall this blade feels a lot sturdier than a delica endura or manix and you pay for that in the weight department
The blade is a stonewashed highsaber grind design both are unique among the vast majority of spydies

The only issue i have with it is this poorly adapted handle

This would be close to a perfect knife for me if this ridiculously overdone handle had some degree rough texture to the handle

With that being said the current price listings are reflective of scarcity not the material

Either wait for normal pricing or pick it up at another retailer

Just living in fear of the day it eventually gets dropped onto concrete and those very thin g10 edge profiles get torn up or chipped

Update managed to back out the pivot screws a tad and now she flies open like it’s on ice
