No para 3 lw love buying from spyderco

#1

Post by gonzokat86 »

Been waiting for the para 3 lightweight to come up on the new product lists so I could buy it directly for spyderco and seems like it ain’t gonna happen. Usually save a couple $ from buying direct because of 50% discount because veteran status. Anyone know if the para 3 lw will be released or should I just get it from a distributor

You might have missed it. It shows up as out of stock. Search Para 3, then look for the Para 3 FRN choice among those shown.

I was in the SFO when the model was released and they had both the PE and the SE in the store. Went back a week or two later and the PE was sold out. What they had on hand moved fairly quickly.

Sure wouldn’t hurt my feelings to get Spydercos at 50% off. Maybe call them for an eta on stock, or buy at retail from any number of upstanding businesses.

You definitely missed it, at least the first batch. For a brief time on the morning of April 23rd, both configurations were available. I was able to order two plain and one serrated. Other than being a Para3, my favorite feature is the pocket clip that allows deep carry.

I missed the first batch of the Smock at the SFO, but managed to snag two from the second batch that became available in early April.

Guess I just missed it. It’s already cheap enough, not really a big deal to buy it at retail price. Thanks for the info

I missed it at SFO too so I got one from an online dealer. You don’t save that much with the SFO price since the LW is so reasonably priced.

How do you get the veteran discount?

When I logged in to my account I’d already signed up.

And I got my Para 3 from GPKnives
