This is awesome. I love their forest green with satin blade; still kicking myself hard for not picking up the PM2 when they did it in this combo.

Scored the PM2 NIB at $20 over its release price. It is now pouring green 204P in my world.

These are almost gone and about to run out; less than a dozen and a half remaining as far as I can tell.

Do you have employees from these dealers texting you stock numbers or something? How on earth could you possibly know how many are left of all these Delica exclusives from different dealers?

If you type in 100 for the buy amount, it will tell you one of two things "can't buy that many" or "don't have enough stock". Even though you can't buy more than 2, the message inadvertently lets you know how many are left.

Picked mine up from the post office this morning. Now I have spydies in CPM-20CV and CTS-204P... just need a M390 one for the hat trick. Probably going to be the Pattadese when it comes out.

Mine arrived today, color is great and very close to the original ZDP Delica models. Planning to sharpen and use this one for the remainder of the month.

I was hoping it would be a little brighter of a green like it appears in the saddle bag photo. It is really a very dark green. Still nice though.

Just got mine from the neighbor, USPS strikes again with giving her my packages. :rolleyes:

I like the fact that we're seeing Seki branching out with steels over the last few couple years. Between this and the DLT Delica, I doubled the amount of Delicas in the collection in a couple weeks. :o

Random observation: my specimen is probably the smoothest action of any Delica I've handled. I can Spydie flick this one, and the pivot is still spot on, no play whatsoever. Not as smooth as the Siren or SpyOpera, which are the smoothest :spyder: backlocks I've handled, but darn close.

Agree. See lots of variations of blue but not so with green. Something between the standard green and the forest green/british racing green would be nice.

I’ve not received mine yet. I do like the darker green, personally. I was a bit turned off by the saddlebag photo but I saw the others and knew I had to have it. They showed a darker knife.

I didn't like the shade of green on the G10 exclusives, so I figured I would pass on this one. It does look better on FRN than G10.

Do you have a G10 204P knife to compare the colors?

It's fairly close to the g10 color, but I think the shade of green on the Delica is a tad darker and has less blue in it.

Thanks!

The shade of green on the FRN looks more crisp to me. Brand new, my Para 3 204P looked kind of "fuzzy" or "faded". Some colors just don't look amazing on G10.

If they do another run of these, I'll have to consider buying one or two.

Funny, I definitely like the g10 color better. In fact it's probably my favorite g10 color from spyderco. Different strokes!

^^ I really regret not grabbing a Millie when they were available. It was on my list and they sold out before I got around to it. :(
