According to River's Edge Cutlery (REC) their Exclusive and long-delayed ParaMilitary2 CTS-204P Flat Dark Earth (FDE) PVD Blade Olive Drab (OD) Green G-10 C81GPODFDE2 (USA) will be “dropping soon” for $169.97 (one per household). Additionally, REC will be releasing more batches in the future to meet demand.

I wonder: is this a change of strategy? Are the times of once and for all sold out in minutes exclusives over?

Here’s what REC posted:

“If you are not able to secure one on this drop, don't be discouraged. You will be able to get one in the future! This will be an "Ongoing" exclusive. That means that they will keep being made in batches until the demand has been met. We do have plenty on order that will come down the road, for now, we took what spyderco had available to us so we can start getting these out in the wild.”

Let's HOPE SO! I wasn't going to bother getting one of these before, but knowing that more batches will be made and it will be easier ti land one I will definitely get one at some point

I am NOT happy that I now have to get my Spyderco knives off eBay because the system is broken.

Thank you REC!!!!

The message it would send if this were a single run, would be a huge middle finger to collectors and fans. They can't pretend they don't know what the demand will be like. They know factory seconds of their Para 3 have sold on Ebay for $700+ dollars. They basically have to do multiple runs of this model to maintain a respectable reputation, in my opinion.

ParaMilitary2 CTS-204P Flat Dark Earth (FDE) PVD Blade Olive Drab (OD) Green G-10 C81GPODFDE2 River's Edge Cutlery (USA) was in stock.

I'd really love to see a lightweight Para3 or Manix2 in white. Preferably with a black blade. White seems to be pretty rare with Spyderco.

DLT Manix 2 Red G10 20CV in stock

Edit: Still available. This is the remainder of their batch and is the bulk of the whole batch. After this it's being retired.

Native5 CPM-4V Black DLC Blade Red G-10 C41GPRD4VBK5 St. Nick's Knives (USA) will be on Sale on Friday, August 28, 2020 at 2:00pm Central Time.

Knife Works has more of their 600pc sprint/exclusive Delica S90V available.

This has "sold out" multiple times. Maybe they're just releasing these in small batches.

Or they are doing multiple runs. Exclusives can be re-run as often as the dealer wishes to buy them.

You can't be serious.

Looks like the K390 Delica is dropping, in stock now at cutlery shoppe

Showing up at some dealers:

• Manix2 Lightweight CPM-REX45 Burnt Orange FRCP C101PBORE2 Sprint Run (USA)
• Delica4 Lightweight K390 Blue FRN C11FPK390 (Japan)

I'm not sure why they still have them but opticsplanet.com has Manix 2 Rex 45 G-10s for sale. Has anyone had any issues buying from them before?

Victory! (C101PBORE2) :p

Thank you Sal, and to the entire Spyderco Team. :spyder:

Thanks to you also, RamZar. For your constant work on this thread. :)

While I'm here. I'd also like to mention now too, as a reminder. The Manix 2 has yet to get the K390 treatment.
Sal, can you squeeze Eric about this for us, please?

Get in line pal! :p I've been waiting on Cruwear LW models for years! You can have your K390 after that!! :D

Ok steelcity16!
You can have your Cruwear in a LW, and I'll lobby for the G10 K390. :D
