Official 2017 Mid-Year Supplement Discussion

I noticed that, too. Very bummed as I had promised all my homies a special gift when we do our annual get-together in October.

Planned on buying eight of them. Now I have to look for different gifts. :confused:

Zome DFlys instead?

[anycal]

^ I was thinking bunch of P3s!

[Spydersense]

My head is hurting thinking about all of the money I'm going to spend this year. Sal, let me just give you my checking account and routing numbers now.

^ I was thinking bunch of P3s!

That would be nice. But eight Para 3s plus eight aftermarket clips at $30/each plus eight $10 Torx kits each is kinda steep. Unnecessarily steep.

Zome DFlys instead?

It looks like it will come down to Delica 4 vs. Mini Grip. I'm afraid that Mini Grip will be heavily favored in our part of the world.

Chap LW was an easy win.

I'm going to have to get a second and third job now! Thanks Spyderco! What a killer mid year release!

That might not be a bad idea!!

Count me in too! What's the going rate for a kidney these days?

[anycal]

I just ordered MXG clip for my CRUWEAR P3. Is that bad? :confused: I mean, is that bad? :confused:

[DougC-3]

The Para 3 is tempting, especially the Maxamet -- I handled the S30V one at a B&M and didn't notice problems with the clip. Usually the only thing that bothers me is if it's uncomfortable in hand in the grip you would use when cutting, and that does bother me some with the PM2 -- one reason I'm a Manix person.

But getting back to the Shaman -- I had no idea it would be so much like a Manix, and just a bit bigger, which is great! Also great that it's contoured! The pic does look kind of like a high hollow saber grind, but like Evil D says, probably just something about the picture. It's fine with me either way. If it's as comfortable in hand as the Manix or Native 5, it's a shoo-in must-have for me. I'm expecting it to be pretty pricey, so I'll try to wait for one with Cruwear, Maxamet, or S90V, hopefully a dark gray or black model (rather than getting the S30V and a more premium one :p ).

Anybody think it would be good to retain a little bit of a swedge, just as a tip of the hat to its Native lineage?

[archangel]

PM3 sprint Cru-Wear while on the blade it says Maxamet.....

Freudian slip? Will the next sprint be with Maxamet? I would like that!

... AND

A standard production Para 3 with dark gray G-10 and Maxamet (C223GPDGY)

:D me happy!

Thanks Kristi!! :rolleyes:

[wrdwrght]

This Supplement, following that Catalog?

Wow, just WOW!

For me, there is much to say "No" to, but I must have the long-awaited Shaman (I sure hope it does have that high hollow saber grind), one of the Caribbeans (leaning toward the PE leaf), and the Cru-Wear Para3 sprint (assuming no red loctite).

These three and a Doublestuff2, plus the Police4, the Manbug Salt, the 52100 PM2 sprint, and some backfills, will have to do it for me this calendar year. Actually, I haven't bought this many Spydies in a year for a long time.

Fortunately, the Maxamet PM2 is a production run, so if a Maxamet Manix2 Backlock sprint run does not materialize next year, I will at least have that steel in a package I enjoy. Or perhaps the Shaman's success will make a Maxamet Shaman sprint run a possibility next year...

[Gsg9]

They say good things come to those who wait :D

Didn't jump on regular PM3 so I'll try to get now the sprints and the blurple

I didn't jump on the lightweights and now there is PM2 Maxamet, been waiting for this oh-yeah :D

Nice catalog Spyderco!

[kbuzbee]

To clear up a little confusion with the Para 3 on page 16 in the simplest way possible... There will be both.

A Sprint Run Para 3 with gray G-10 and CPM CRU-WEAR (C223GPGYCW)

AND

A standard production Para 3 with dark gray G-10 and Maxamet (C223GPDGY)

Outstanding news. Thanks Kristi!

One eyed Jack is growing on me.

Me too, Roman. Well, I liked it from the start, but you know what I mean. It looks terrific

Shaman is much better than I was imagining.

That makes sense. Looks very much to be of the Native family line. I like it too.

Possibly it will be the last folder, which I will buy.

Yeah, yeah... sure, sure... until the next one, haha!

I am not counting Shaman sprints :)

Well, of course not

Woo-hoo, Caribbean specs! And they are of adequate size! Gotta get that sheepsfoot.
But where is the Police 4?

[VashHash]

Darn Dao Darn Dao Darn Dao. I better start saving now.
Didn't expect it this soon but I'm stoked. Has a really nice sheath too.

[SG89]

I just ordered MXG clip for my CRUWEAR P3. Is that bad? :confused: I mean, is that bad? :confused:

Nah, that's normal. I have had some Putman scales sitting in a drawer for a few months waiting on a dlc para3 to drop :D

[bearfacedkiller]

Manix Backlock
Darn Dao
Doublestuff2
Shaman
Cruwear Para3
One Eyed Jack

These are all of interest to me. Exciting news!!!! I have been anxious to see the doublestuff for a while now. Cant wait to pick one up.

Darn Dao is a thing of beauty and if I can get my hands on it I will use it hard.

My father would LOVE a One Eyed Jack.

The Police4 was in the 2017 Catalog already.
