I don't want to discourage you from trying a Para 3 but I find the Sages to have a little more room in the handle. I don't have big hands so I find the P3 to fit me perfectly. Also, the P3 is as thick as the N5 LW and a tiny bit thicker than the N5 G-10. I like thin knives too but I've kind of gotten over it.

You can bet that sprints and dealer exclusives will be coming some day. That's how I've ended up with about a dozen Para 2s and a similar number of Militaries. Its like Michael Corleone in Godfather IV: "Just when I try to get out, they pull me back in.

Mine should arrive this week from national knives. Appears perfect size for my sissy size hands.
Based on pics alone, looks like this one will be tip down carry for me... for the size of knife looks like too much sticking out with tip up clip placement.
ETA: I haven't purchased a knife in a long time
An XM18 and small Inkosi have scratched the itch for some time now, but an old Para 2 has been in my 'shop' for a long time.
I'm excited for this one!

Para 3 Sprint suggestions:
1. Foliage Green G10, ELMAX
2. Blue G10, M390
3. Natural (Jade) G10, M4
4. Orange G10, black DLC CTS-XHP
These were all PM2 sprints configurations, if it ain't broke, don't fix it...
Oooohhh. And maybe CF with M390 or 204P. [emoji41]

I'm in for a Blue scale M390 & a CF CTS-XHP. Or M4. Or 3V.

2 of those were exclusives, not sprints

You're right! I forgot the Jade was BHQ exclusive, and never knew the elmax was.
A few comparison photos for Sunday...
Dice, Para3, Delica
Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian, Para 3, 940-1501

It looks like it will fit nicely into my size range. I love both the mini grip and the delica. Speaking of mini grip are those scales micarta? If so where did u got those beautiful things?
That's a BM 556-1001 with custom DOAT white & black G10 scales (should've labeled it in the original post). DOAT (Death of All Things) is a member here and has a service where he creates custom scales. Look him up.
I will thank you. Those are gorgeous.
