Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
What a disappointment. Site crashed, couldn't complete checkout and it sells out. DLT dropped the ball. I'm really perplexed why sites do these drops when they can't handle the traffic.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
We don’t know how many there were but... 600 knives at $164.50 is $98,700
They really don’t care who don’t get one

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
more than that number, I guess. Sigh. The whole drop thing is quickly becoming a souring experience for brand afis who want a knife at a particular steel, but get outmuscled everytime by flippers.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
Meanwhile, the cruwear delica was available for days...
Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
Sorry to anyone who missed out! The good news is that DLT often re-runs its popular exclusives, and these are obviously very popular (I love them, for sure). Hopefully there will be more!

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
It’s way out of control, I agree with you. What’s more is as a member with a DLT account, I had one in my cart and proceeded to check out and I guess they sold it out from under me before PayPal could log in to complete the transaction.

Shipping only $5? That’s reasonable.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
Glad that you, of all people, got one! :)
I guess I'm lucky; being a Delica fan I seem to get all I want.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
Dang I missed the whole thing!
Just kidding...I had no interest in this one. From reading the posts it sounds like it was another fast sell out

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
I was successful, somehow, at placing an order at 11:29 AM. I kept hitting F5 over and over on my keyboard for over 30 minutes non-stop. As soon as I got the confirmation e-mail that the order was placed, I went back to the homepage and saw that the knife was sold out :eek: ! The server was back online for only 4 minutes before the last knife was sold...
The sad thing is probably 75% of these buys are scalpers. You know, it's depressing to see just how many poor people there are wanting to make 2x the knife on the secondary market. Very sad indeed.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
That why they SHOULD do models like the Military, Straight Spine Stretch, Endura, Endela, Police LW, Manix XL, etc. They will definitely sell out within a few weeks (if not days or hours) at the most, everyone who wants one gets one, and no salty customers from crashed servers.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
I agree, DLT really should improve their hosing. There is no excuse not to have a host that can handle 100x the usual traffic.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
There is no incentive for DLT to improve the customer experience. We’re talking about something on the order of $100k in sales in less than 5 minutes.Spidey-Dawg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 1:22 pmI agree, DLT really should improve their hosing.

I really enjoy buying from DLT, but they have repeated this look too many times.
I think it’s time that they get put in the corner by Spyderco until they figure out a way to clean up these release fiascos.
For f-‘s sake...you have to be able to do better when you are generating that kind of revenue. That goes for Spyderco too.
I’d like to hear the response from Golden.
Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
I'm surprised there wasn't a ton of hype on this one here, only a couple pages worth. A year or two ago this thread would have been 15 pages long. Is the Para 3 love affair finally dying down?

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
I was lucky enough to get one, checked out at 11:28. Huge pain, but actually really wanted this so worth it to me. wish these exclusives had a different system. I can’t say that I have the answer though. I really appreciate the exclusives/sprints for the multitude of different colors and steels, but getting them is a nerve wracking crapshoot and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Re: DLT Cruwear purple Para3
Already got my shipping notice. Thanks DLT and Jordan for pumping out the Cruwear this year! Now hopefully we can move on to some models I actually like. Cough, cough, Military, cough, cough, Endura, cough, cough, Straight Spine Stretch.

A dealer commissioned and paid for an order of x number of knives. A knife manufacturer produced and delivered the order to customer. End of transaction.
For the life of me, I can't understand what "response from Golden" you, or me, or anyone is owed because of a third (fourth?)-party server issue during a drop?
I hope dealers keep commissioning exclusives and I hope Spyderco keeps making them. I'd prefer missing out on the opportunity to buy a really cool exclusive and crying about not getting it on the internet for a day than having no opportunity at all.. Idk, maybe I'm the crazy one
