Ok so I’m new to knives got a few nice pieces so far but this will be my newest never had a spyderco people been recommending them Seen these go up on blade hq as an exclusive today and I like the color scheme so I picked one up kinda wanted the black blade but I beat up the creokote so I went Plain. Anyway to the question are these any count? What’s the community think about these? Are these exclusive at all or just an average Spyderco? I had a discount code so wound up picking one up for like 180

Some people really like those scales. Not my thing but if it’s someone’s thing, it’s really their thing along the same lines of ultem (pee colored plastic).
When I first got into knives, I thought they were glow in the dark since these started off on fixed blades that were for the bush. They certainly would look the same so I don’t get why they aren’t.
To me, below average look. I like micarta or G10 better. Sometimes I love the look of titanium, sometimes I hate it. It’s all on taste. It’s okay to like what you like even if no one else does.

They are exclusive to BladeHQ.
This might be one of the most polarizing knives put out by Spyderco and BladeHQ, but for weird reasons. Some people love the combination of Magnacut and jade G10 on two of Spyderco’s most popular models, especially with the diamond-pattern milling. Others, however, felt like BladeHQ had led them on with the [teaser on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DV1wqCpDsb5/). The jade G10 had previously only been available on the M4 Tanto, leading people to believe that they were bringing back that extremely hyped and high-demand model. However, BladeHQ revealed that it was a plain-bladed PM2, which was already available in Magnacut.
It also seems that BladeHQ sent these new exclusive PM2’s and Para 3’s to every knife YouTuber, so that the knife-o-sphere is saturated with people gushing over the combination of Magnacut and jade G10 on a hyper-popular model—despite the fact that all these things already exist.
If you like it, great! There’s been some hullabaloo around it, but it’s mostly just drama stirred up because people were disappointed that they didn’t get exactly what they wanted.
It’s a version exclusive to Bladehq. They make the Para 3 salt version in regular production, which is also magnacut steel, but with different scales. So this particular combo is only available through Bladehq. Spyderco also does sprint runs, which is a particular combination of steel and scale colors/materials, made for a limited time. Sprint runs are available through any retailer. So dealer exclusives are different from sprint runs, and both are different from regular production. Also, the black coating on Spyderco blades isn’t cerakote. It is DLC (diamond like coating) which is far more resilient to wear and quite a bit tougher than cerakote.
