I don't see where it says how many are in stock, but I just ordered 2. There was no delay in the process.

Did anyone else who ordered 2 or more get charged for shipping?
Just ordered 2 and yes I was charged $4.75 for shipping (USPS).

Re: Caly 3.5 Light Weight: Any News?

Got my first Caly 3.5 in the mail yesterday, g10/VG-10 off the 'bay. I've carried the hap 40 sprint Caly 3 alot and I have to say, I really like the size of the 3.5 compared to the 3. I was already planning on buying any future 3/3.5's but now I'm really excited for a new 3.5 to try out!

Re: Spydie vs Bugout

I've had a couple bugouts when they were all the rage and I just couldn't bring myself to carry it very much and now the one I still have stays in the safe along with a mini grip. Not sure if it's just my hand or what but the ergos on the bugout are horrible for me. I never really understood the who...

Re: Going to the SpyOpera.

I would so be into this but for one glaring fault, no left hand option! It's especially annoying that for some reason the Swayback being an obvious right hand design in every way has a left hand option. But a unique small lockback isn't? I don't get it at all.

Re: Para 3 Lefty?

I am a southpaw myself, so I am always pro more left hand options...HOWEVER I personally have no issue using the "normal" compression lock with my left hand. Maybe it's just muscle memory and training to get used to using it left handed? I have carried and used the gray Cru-Wear sprint Pa...

Re: Para 3 Lefty?

I know they will do a run of lefties just based on the popularity of the model. The PM2 lefty is too big for me but I have two of those and would instantly purchase two para 3 lefties. I would be more than happy with black g10 and s30v. Honestly since they will probably only do one run of them, vani...

Re: Stoppers

I buy a lot of knives mostly to try them out and see if they jive with me or not. Spyderco happens to be the company where you get curious and just have to try at least the really popular ones. I guess my most important "stopper" was my first Caly 3 which was the HAP40 sprint. Since then I...

Re: Para3 LW in m390.. First LW exclusive

I just got mine and was thrilled until I went to swap the wire clip to the other side. I set up all of my knives the same way. my only experience with FRN models is a great ZDP-189 dragonfly. The channels for the wire clip are the dragonfly are equal depth on both sides. On this PARA 3LW the channe...

Re: So what's your top 3 favorite steels? and why?

I guess I would say: 1) VG10 - basically stainproof for all intents and purposes to me, way more stainless in my experience than s30v and the like. Sharpens well and can be a great EDC steel. Have not tried LC200N yet, I imagine by all the reports it should a better version of this steel. 2) cladded...

Re: Guesses on which knife from Reveal 3 will ship first?

I just wish they would do more small-ish knives with LC200N. Looking at the specs on the Siren, that is a big knife to me. I like the direction though (g10/backlock) and may pick one up just because I have yet to try the steel. I held off getting the Native Salt because I bought the Cruwear KC exclu...

Re: Para3

Bought my first Para 3 when the Cruwear dropped. Immediately after receiving it, I found another and ordered a backup. Looking forward to buying a few more as more sprints drop. My perfect EDC. I'm a lefty by the way and the compression lock is totally doable and comfortable to me. A left handed Par...

Re: Sharpener for Para 3? Help!

As was stated above, the Sharpmaker is great but where it really shines is paired with another "easier" sharpener like the KME, Wicked Edge, Edge Pro, etc. Use one of the guided systems to set/reprofile/repair an edge and then use the Sharpmaker to touch up the edge after that until you ge...

Re: Lefty Para 3?

I hope they eventually do a lefty Para 3. I just received the Cruwear version a few days ago and it has quickly become my favorite carry/flick open and closed knife, and I'm a lefty. The compression lock is very usable for a lefty but a dedicated left handed version would be awesome and very appreci...

Sage 5 "L"

Sal,

Could we get a lefty compression lock Sage 5? It's a unique lock after all, and things are looking up for lefties after the lefty PM2. Maybe just a small batch of Sage 5 "L"'s to really bless the left handed community?

What do you guys think?

Do you have the plain edge version too? How do find the serrated performs in regular EDC tasks? I have the plain wharnie but I've always been interested in getting the serrated one too.
