Up at DLT, Limit 1 per person https://www.dlttrading.com/spyderco-par ... satin-s90v
Thanks, I had a rewards at DLT and I was hoping to snag one from here. Ordered!

Bummer, missed out on DLT. :mad: wanted to order from them to add to my rewards points. Ended up ordering from GP Knives though, my first experience from them, hope they ship quick!
GPK has been gouging on the GEC releases lately, which is irritating... But at the same time more dealers are doing that than not, so I guess it is what it is. Other than that, I can't say a single negative thing about GPK.

In my experience they ship quickly and have very solid customer support.

Thanks, good to know! Never really understood the hype behind those GEC releases...it seems that the company intentionally makes them in small amounts in order to trigger a frenzy among collectors every drop. Shame because I would have wanted to try one but all the good ones are all sold out.

I ended up grabbing one. This will be my first teal (it's really aqua) Spyderco knife.

I thought the price was a little high as well, but I assume it's due to having the s90v blade.

Not a good time to step away from forum. So are all 1500 officially gone?

Knifejoker still has these in pre-order, hurry! :)

On hindsight, I wish I could have gone with Knifejoker instead, didn't know they had a points system. Do'h *facepalm*

Thanks. Put a pre order in. Checkout on that site is painful. I tried to get an exclusive Shaman there once and failed due to it.

Nice, glad you got one! I still have not done any transaction yet with Knifejoker, but I hope that they have improved their system. The owner seems like a nice guy and they can cater to international customers which is always a plus.

I wonder if White Mountain still has those promo code and is it applicable to this release...?

I kind of want one now, would probably dye the handles dark green or dark blue. I'm holding strong though for the time being until I see if there's anything amazing in the next Reveal.

A couple of other dealers are selling above list on GECs. It bugged me at first, but the mark up is far lower than the Secondary market price and the knives stay in stock longer. My last few were purchased that way as it was the only way to get one without supporting flippers. With very high demand and very low supply, it is fair for dealers to mark up the prices and I would really rather they get a few more dollars than the flippers get any money at all.

Well, GP Knives cancelled my credit card order after confirming it... just another day in the life of an international customer I guess. Haha.

I ordered from KnifeJoker since they seem to have these in stock. Paid via PayPal ( is there no credit card option in the website checkout? I didn't see any ) so I hope there's no problem with processing the order this time around. Crossing fingers.

My arrived, looks great. I noticed the finish on the plastic is flat or satin, but the finish in my Rex45 is almost glossy. I bought the Rex used, so perhaps pocket wear and use has shined it up a bit? I find the variation in the all models and and releases to be fascinating. I am always curious what is a design constraint and what is an aesthetic choice.

FedEx just dropped mine off. I actually like the color now that I've got it in hand, it mixes things up in the collection. I'm glad to have an S90V P3LW. Oh, and the centering is perfect which is nice; my Rex45 is almost touching the clip side scale.

So it goes.

Happy to see another release in a whimpy color, saves me some cash! S90V a nice choice though.
Yea definitely a knife for the jacked and tan. I think I’ll get one lol.
Showed it to my wife to see if she'd be interested in that color, which she said no. Asked her what if I bought it for myself and she said my man card would need to be revoked!
Nothing personal, but I genuinely hope they come out with your favorite steel in hot pink
