So many new exclusives
I'm 3 months into collecting spydercos and was wondering if every summer is like this....exclusives dropping like every week it seems!! This is madness...I can't keep up.

Re: So many new exclusives
Last few months of last year was like this...then it slowed down the first half of this year...now they are flying out! :D
AMAZING last couple of weeks! A couple of HOME RUNS (Teal 30V Dragonfly, Cruwear Delica, DLC 4V Lil Native), a couple of solid but boring base hits (Para 3s and PM2s), and some strike outs (finally a Native in CRUWEAR, but ruined with smooth G10...just my opinion of course but as someone who has been asking for a CRUWEAR Native for what seems like forever this was a major letdown for them to use smooth G10 and I am having to pass on it.)

I’m glad to see all the cruwear releases but I really wish KC picked a color for their CW series, even if they stuck with the smooth g10. A forest green smooth g10 would have been pretty cool.

I'm weird in that I don't like to modify my knives. I only buy knives that I can keep stock and be happy. I'd also be broke if I bought every knife and modified them to my liking! I can barely afford all of the knives I like as-is! :)

Re: So many new exclusives
There are certainly a lot that have come out or are coming. This is a testimony to Spydercos popularity. I know of know other company besides Case that gets so many requests fir exclusives.

That's KC trying to be consistent with the other Cru-wear models they've done. They all had smooth G10. I don't mind smooth G10 and I don't mind black scales but I really don't want both at the same time :) I also have the sprint run PM2 and Para 3 in Cru-wear so I passed on the KC exclusives.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 8:16 pm...this was a major letdown for them to use smooth G10 and I am having to pass on it.)

I get why they did it...I just don't like it! :) Black Peel Ply G10 would have been fine with me as I typically don't buy base model knives outside of the Salts so I don't have many black knives.
Saves me some money anyways. Just bought a couple of the Cruwear Delicas and the Teal Dragonfly before that. Now we have the 4V Lil Native and then hopefully the Cruwear Micarta Shaman and the BHQ Dodo soon! Not to mention the onslaught of Para 3 LW exclusives that is likely going to start very soon! :eek:

So many knives - so little funds!!!
Re: So many new exclusives
I like the forest green g10 also. Was thinking Knife Center may have it as they did a smooth forest green g10 native 5 a while back.
