That's where I got my small Persian from. Some are definitely worth paying a premium for. That Jigged Bone Delica is tempting but I'm trying (with little success) to spend less on knives. So I'm going to pretend I didn't see this haha

Some of those prices are right around what they fetch at ebay, but most are at or above MSRP, so a bit eich for my blood.

I could have sworn I saw an Introvert at closer to retail recently but don't rember wjere. Was considering a backup. Super cool design if you can appreciate the Swick, Spot, or Perrin finger hole.

Maybe not totally crazy, just a little neurotic or confused ;)
But with all the interest in the GITD Joker, you may want a GITD Delica to go with it. There are some on eBay for $90 shipped now.

Not for me (just did a test checkout), but for those interested in getting a Viele Phoenix Sprint but don't want to pay full price, White Mountain Knives has these at 20% off. Code SALE20 at checkout.

They also have the SE LC200N Salt 2 also at 20 % off.

There really are some gems there. I would have got the Super Blue Caly 3.5 if it'd been $100 cheaper, and the D'Allara SE was possible at $175.

I ended up with the SB Caly 3.5. I definitely over-paid for simple carbon steel but it's getting to the point that some of these models won't be around for any price.

You're not alone! I paid a hefty premium for mine too. It's the smoothest backlock I own though, and 3.5" of Super Blue makes a fantastic blade. Plus you get full steel liners with G-10, unusual for a Japanese Spyderco.

What is this, "Old Caly Week" or something? A forumite here just sold me his HAP40 Caly. Yeah, it cost more than when new, but...I missed the original offering, and "the heart wants what it wants." Congrats on your fantastic SuperBlue 3.5! What a great knife.

So, I gave the Dack Outdoor site a shot in order to get an SE ladybug in my bike pack and a dragonfly salt in my ski pack. They just happened to have the wharncliffe df2 and para 3 lw! Everything arrived in one package in a week. Two odd things. The df2 salt was PE rather than the SE that the sku would suggest, but I ask and knew that going into it (the price was too good to care). Then, they all came with a ton of oil on the blades and pivot! Unlike anything I’ve seen from a spyderco or Byrd…curious.

In any case, the package has been open for all of 90 minutes and I already know that df2 wharnie and para 3 lw would have saved me a lot of cash in the last couple years searching for the right carry for me. Sheesh. That wharncliffe is SCARY slicey!!!

The SB Caly 3.5 would have been a great mate for my SB Caly 3, but it's been getting by OK with my ZDP-189 CF 3.5 :-)

Still don't have a Caly though I got my first Stretch recently (clad HAP40 Stretch II), great design. One of the best feeling FRN knives I've ever held, just geat blade shape.

I've long thought of getting a ZDP-189 Caly or Stretch, guess I'll focus on the Caly unless I see a surprising deal.
