Did anybody get a Smock or 3 before DLT sold out ?
How long did they last ?

You might want to add a "?" to your title... liable to create panic as people rush to click on the post in hopes of finding a smock in stock at DLT! :)

Smock sold out in minutes/seconds at every retailer.

Yep, I had a preorder in at KC from like 11 months and someone posted on here that DLT had them in stock. Snatched one up shortly after the post, cancelled my KC order, checked back at DLT like 10 minutes later and they were out of stock. They went VERY QUICK.

Pretty sure they are all gone until the next production run hits the shelves which should be (guesstimating) in the May/June timeframe.

I put this in a different thread but, www.reliks.com has them in stock. Same with the ikuchi. Canadian site. Great customer service. Not great prices.

I'm glad to see my guess was wrong and that the next round of these is already hitting retailers. I picked one up from SMKW, thanks for the tip!

There's a couple threads on here where some of us have chimed in already. I don't have time right to look them up though

SFO had them in stock on Tuesday, and I was able to snag two using the OpFocus 50% discount before they were sold out later in the day.

I'm still rooting to either get a kapara or smock before Christmas this year. God willing that is.
As it stands both have been unavailable for purchase shortly after their initial release here in the Netherlands, up to this day. The ikuchi hasn't even landed yet. Did manage to snatch a random rex 45 para 3 which popped up a short while ago, I plan to put its blade in a lw Para 3 later on (never much cared for the normal para 3 with g10 but I think this will excel as a lw everyday working man's blade. I have the entire Grey cruwear family complete so I didn't want to break up the cruwear para 3 haha).

I say this jokingly of course, but only somewhat. I have the money lying around, after already depleting luxury funds on competitors which I've been eyeing and putting money aside again to this day from which I could buy both once again.
2019 isn't short of exciting releases, but despite that and thanks to the slow stocking of these Taichung folders and my holding out for these models I favor, 2019 has proven to be a record low year concerning my investing in spyderco compared to the last few years.

I'm literally ready to throw money their way, haha - please take it! Hope the next batches will be more consistent in their supply.
So far my biggest purchases have been the before mentioned para 3, a vtoku2 stretch and other then that I've obtained a 2013 (I think) cruwear milli off the secondhand market for only 160 eur (while in superb condition).
I suppose this isn't ideal for spyderco neither and a solution is being looked in to surely, I just assumed (and I confess it's my selfish wish as a driven consumer) it would have been here already.
