[ross8425]

Got mine today. Nice knife.

[ZrowsN1s]

Ok knife retailers, look at this one and look at the cruwear para 3 and how fast they sold out!
More Para 3 Sprints and Exclusives please :D

Jade M4? Red and M390? Red and K390?

[Molle Ninja]

Disappointed with GP that they’re listing at that higher price.

KnivesPlus has them at the lower price.

There is the possibility of pricing yourself out of business. I am around 50 and one of the things that I have always loved most about Spyderco was how high quality of a product that you can get for a reasonable cost. If Spyderco, as a company, wants to follow the business model of gouging every cent they can then the product is that less attractive....and before I hear any 'troll' calls, I have been buying Spyderco longer than a lot of you are alive.

Haven’t been back here in awhile and read this..... spot on.

My initial thoughts were:

1. $200 is not bad for S90V and Carbon Fiber. The Cruwear Para was more expensive and that was before the MAP increase.
2. I don't really want one.
3. Once this thing sells out, if it is anything like everything else, I don't feel like paying $400+ for one on the secondary market.
4. $200 is not bad compared to what the secondary market thinks this thing is worth.
5. I know that people don't love the Para 3 like they do the Para 2, so it will never sell for as much as a S90V Para 2.
6. The S110V production models hurt the S90V versions.

Heck, I'd be happier with a Blurple S110V or wait for a Cutlery Shoppe Orange S90V version and also save myself some money.

I will save my money for the Elmax variant. I only pray for a sprint not an exclusive.

In regard to point number 1, which Para are you referring to? PM2 or Para 3?

The Para 3 Cruwear was $126 or so street price.

That's exactly where I was going with my question. That's a lot less than $200. The PM2 Cruwear was $143.97. Both Cruwear options were a steal in my book. The CF S90V is a great knife. Time will tell where the secondary market prices end up.

[Molle Ninja]

I agree—the Cruwear models were way resonable for what they were/are. I’m glad I still have one of each.

[ucfgrad93]

Apparently, DLT Trading has them as well for $207.95.

Got mine on Monday. It’s really nice. Anyone else notice the non cutting blade edges are rounding slightly leaving no sharp edges everywhere. It’s really awesome.

[Donut]

The Carbon Fiber Cruwear was $220ish. Or was that a Manix?

I do get some of the sprints mixed up.

*edit* No, it was M4 Carbon Fiber Para 2 for $219.95.

Ok, I guess the similar para 3 is about $20 less than a comparable pm2. So $200 is about right.
Good to know.

[kooldood420]

this thing is NICE...well worth the wait

[RamZar]

BladeHQ got some more in stock for $191.97 shipped.

[abbazaba]

I wonder if this is a slow release, rather than the fact that they are selling out quickly. Seems like the same thing happened with recent Caly3 sprint, but ended up being in stock months after.

[Molle Ninja]

Got mine coming today. Will take pictures and report back my impressions.

In stock at National Knives if you want to support a smaller dealer. $191.97
