ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
Not sure if this has made the rounds yet but black and red looks pretty sweet.

Yep, certainly not flying off the shelves at that price point.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
Yep, I have two and love them. I hate that its not selling well due to the price. They took a leap and created an amazing piece with all the bells and whistles and it's really not getting the respect it deserves. It sucks because the slow sales may discourage them from bringing other unique exclusives to the market that other retailers would never do. I feel like a lot of dealers play it safe with exclusives to guarantee sales, which is understandable, but its nice when someone creates something special like this Delica. If a G10 Delica this good looking with Hap40 isnt selling well due to the price, Im going to assume this is the last G10 Delica we ever see, and maybe the last G10 model in the Endura family. That alone should be reason for people to snap these up while they can. Five years from now I can see this being a piece that sells for a ton on the secondary market and everyone is going to kick themselves for not grabbing one at retail.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
I've been conversing back and forth quite a bit via email with one of the guys from St. Nick's. I'm sure they're a little disappointed at how this exclusive's turned out. The price came in higher than expected and it's obviously hurt sales. There was also no hype built up for this one and that didn't help things either. I've made sure to mention the importance of that to the guy for their next exclusive (I'm sure I wasn't telling him anything he didn't already know). One thing this exclusive has done for them though, it got their name out there. Which I have to believe was one of their primary goals. I had never heard of St. Nick's until a week ago. This guy has already shown me that they provide excellent service and they'll be one of my go to dealers going forward. I'm looking forward to hearing what their next exclusive will be. It should be coming soon.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:59 amYep, I have two and love them. I hate that its not selling well due to the price.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
I'd be buying one if I had spare monies. Alas

I had a similar experience. I had never heard of them before this release, but this one blew me away. Their service was exceptional and I have had some conversations with them as well. I have a feeling that I will be buying any more exclusives they come up with. They seem to have similar tastes in models/colors/steels.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
From my perspective I'm glad they're moving slow, it means I may actually get my hands on one in a few months when I can afford it. From their perspective, I'm sure they wish it was moving faster.
From an advertising point of view though, this exclusive put them on the map. They are now on my list of places to shop for knives, I'd never heard of them before this. That's got to be worth something to them in the long run.

Yep, places like this, Cutlery Shoppe, and River's Edge I probably never would have heard of had it not been for their exclusives. A good exclusive definitely gets your name out there. My Cutlery Shoppe exclusive DLC Native LW is probably my most carried knife.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
The Black and Orange S90V one? I'll bet. That was a good deal. If I didn't already have the Fluted CF in S90V I'd have picked up one of the cutlery shoppe natives. Great steel.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:56 pm...

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
I’d love to have one, it’s just that price. I guess I’m used to picking up an FRN VG-10 Delica second hand for $40 or $50 bucks. $190 is kind of hard to swallow.
Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
It may be a slow seller but with such a limited quantity it will probably be quite collectible in the future.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
Something interesting I’ve notice is that youtuber keithkevinken hasn’t reviewed his. He tends to show all of the new releases pretty quickly on his channel.
Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
I'll get one eventually, if they have a sale. I really think it looks great, just can't pay the current price.
Soon...

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
He doesn't get all the exclusives, just most of them. He talked about it a little in one vid. Can't remember which one. Heck, he might not even know about this one. That dude needs to get on this forum.WireEdge Roger wrote: ↑Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:26 pmSomething interesting I’ve notice is that youtuber keithkevinken hasn’t reviewed his.

Missed your other post. Sweet, I like his reviews. I look for that one when it pops up.

Re: ST. Nicks Exclusive Delica
Looks like the quantity went down from 215 earlier today to 200 now. Momentum is picking up it seems. At that rate you guys have about two weeks to get your order in! :eek:
