Re: P3 S90V CF

I see DLT still showing stock. Would it be fair to say this is a slower selling sprint? Any other retailers I may have missed? (I checked BBS, BHQ, KW, CS, newgraham, etc)

Re: There is an Appeal to the Canadian ban on one hand opening knives!

I am happy about the e-petition and have signed, but don't get overly excited. I've read the government's responses to several other petitions and they tend to highlight speaking points from their budget initiatives or other broad pro-government patting themselves on the back. The tabling in Parliam...

Re: Best wife/family, my birthday

I would consider posting the cake under "knife of the week" pics.
What kind of cake is hiding under the decorating?

Re: Pound for pound is there a better Bagel Knife than the Hawkbill Dragonfly?

This knife is next on my "must buy" list, but without this post I don't think I would have thought to put it to work in the office kitchen.

On a side note, this is the best forum I have joined - guaranteed a smile a day (and sometimes I learn something too).

Re: Lynch NW Para 3 Clip

Great info. My Lynch clip is waiting for me in Florida, but I will soon possess two Para 3s. Might be worth ordering one of these new styles and try both. Thanks.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

My choices have been all over the map since before Christmas. I finally pulled the trigger on the s90v Para 3 sprint to keep my Para 3 in cruwear company. In transit, so 5 or 6 days away.

Re: Knives going out of stock in Canada?

My sprint run Para 3 is shipping today from Ontario, so some import shipments are continuing (which makes me happy), but it sounds like a very uneven playing field between retailers and individuals. Thanks to the other forum members for their updates and sharing the information they have.

Re: Knives going out of stock in Canada?

Not to detract from the OP, I'll post part of a reply I received yesterday in response to my question about the Para 3 s90v sprint not being found on the Blades Canada pages: [/ "As you may be aware, recent CBSA importation restrictions have made it difficult to bring in folding knives. While t...

Re: P3 S90V CF

Blade Canada (Warriorsandwonders.com) has dropped the s90v sprint from their webpages while they sort out the CITT/CBSA importation restrictions. Makes me nervous to risk $300 Cdn to bring the Para 3 in from a US retailer.

I went online to get some product photos to include with the letters I planned to send and Canadian Tire now has 0 Kershaw knives. The product link to the Skyline indicates it has been discontinued.

You have an excellent eye for detail. The knife look superb and your photo skills are also more than solid. All skills I lack but admire in others when they share their work.

Knife storage - Pelican & Apache cases

Using a popular search engine, I found foam inserts from Nalpak intended for several Pelican brand cases that allow multiple knives to be stores.

Re: BBS M390 Para 3

Any other forum readers in a budget crunch? Tempted by this exclusive (don't have M390 yet); however, worried that my budget won't recover if the para 3 cf s90v drops this month as well.
