Spyderco Para 3 Review
Price: About $120
The Good: A PM2 for people that need a sub 3” knife, cuts great, comfortable rounded handle edges

Price: About $300
The Good: Well made from quality materials, functional, well executed blackwash finish
The Bad: Detent is a little too strong, may need some pivot tightening
