Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I know this was just a comment, but really the Delica has a HUGE following right? I think the fact that the Para 3 cost ~$30 more than a standard Para 3, but the Delica cost over twice a standard Delica, is probably a big reason. When I picked up my REC Para 3, it was a no brainer, because again it was like $30 more than a standard.Brown_Recluse wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:34 amUs Para 3-aholics are more prevalent than Delica fans that's for sure.

Actually only $18 more than MAP for a DLC version in S30V
Really, comparing a G10 Delica to an FRN version isn't at all fair and it's been a while since there was a regular production Delica in G10 so pricing is substantially different now, making it tough to estimate accurately (glad they kept the D'fly G10!), probably fairer to compare to the KC pakka wood exclusive, plus the cost of TiCN treatment (about $165?).
And yes there are *many* Delica fans out there! Almost certainly more than Para 3 devotees, at least for now...

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Just like to point out, that I refreshed the page for the para 3 and there was 1 in stock. I purchased it, but I imagine that as orders get declined, there may be a few stragglers available? Keep a lookout!
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
That would suck to get an order declined. Is it because people’s credit cards didn’t go through or because they over sold the knife?

For now. Hoping knifeworks will do one in grey and black with 52100 like their manix. That would be killer.Crux wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:38 amAfter I held the first one, I was an addict.

+1! x1,000,000! That grey/DLC 52100 combo needs to be done in the Para 3, Military, and Native.

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I'm guessing a combo of both. It's possible whatever they use to track inventory might not keep up with orders going out.

This 4V flat leaf blade is going to be incredible.
Edit: To be honest this is what I tell myself about every sprint run however.... This one will be special.

And, it looks like there might be one more available soon. I just emailed them about cancelling my order. Here's hoping one of you gets their hands on it!

Awesome!
it definitely looks better in a real world setting than in a light box.
Thanks!

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I don't see this huge Delica following that you speak of. I'm pretty active in this forum as well as a few others and I don't see the Delica getting nearly as much love as the Para 3.goonielife wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 11:39 amI know this was just a comment, but really the Delica has a HUGE following right?

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I think when I get mine I'll just sit and look at it for a while. Maybe carry it when I go out to dinner but I doubt I'll be throwing it in the EDC rotation right away. As of now USPS says I'll get it on Monday. :D
