Bugout for me. The only time I saw a Para3 in person I was amazed by how big it is.

Para 3 every time.
I only have two Benchmade. A mini grip with a Spydie hole, for obvious reasons lol. And a 940BK. I feel like the Osborne is truly their flagship knife. I know the Bugout is popular now. But the Osborne has been around a long time!

Mini bugout takes up so little pocket space and is very light, great EDC

EDC means different things to different people. My ”EDC” cutting tasks mostly involve opening letters, opening packages, cutting plastic ties, and trimming loose threads. My EDC knife spends 8 hours in my pocket for every minute of use. So, the Mini Bugout is pretty much ideal for me.
I tend to think of the Para 3 as a work knife. If I was going to get a Spyderco knife for EDC use, it would be the Dragonfly.
