Para 3 Cruwear in stock..

[Sharp Guy]

Does Suingab provide the extra standoff or will I need to source that myself?

If you delete the lanyard hole, he provides the standoff and screws (torx 6). Really quick and easy deliver, great guy to work with.

Thanks again. I sent him a message last night and he responded a few minutes later. He said the standoff and screws are an extra $5. I think the price for the scales is very reasonable considering it includes shipping to the US. I got a quote for a set of P3 OD micarta scales from another vendor in Europe and it was quite a bit more.

Gonna think on this one some more.

Is there any update on whether this sprint run has been fully delivered? Tried to get one from 2 sources, but both oversold and I was unlucky.

Bento Box has one for 210 if you just have to have one. Personally for that much I'd wait for the MAXAMET.

Thanks for the heads up, but yes, you are right, in that case I would rather wait for the maxamet one.

Received notification today from KnifeCenter that there are no more of these coming from Spyderco. Glad I got mine elsewhere.

What a bummer!! Got my hands on one but really wanted a backup because I like it so much.

So much for them saying they always fill all the pre-orders they take.
I officially gave up and cancelled both my Para3 and Caly pre-orders last week, I didn't see it happening at this point

Wonder if he can add wire clip provisions for that 3rd screw... Hmm

Now that would be something, I've been hoping someone would do a wire clip mod scale.

Now there's an idea!

[ross8425]

They canceled mine too. Didn't expect to get it fulfilled but it was worth a shot.

[ZrowsN1s]

If your willing to pay the $84 "Late Fee" BBS still has them.

[adancingmonkey]

I’m a little disappointed with KC right now. I was hoping for it to be my first para 3. Oh well.

[sustratiotes]

Also disappointed to get a cancelation email from KC today on the Para 3 Cru Wear. I'll remember and consider other options in the future.

I've just recently discovered Spyderco. Any recommendations from others with more experience looking for future Paramilitary 2 and Para 3 sprints?

Maxamet is coming. Maybe before the end of the year. Pricy but awesome and a regular production piece. There is also a s90v coming too in the para 3. Keep checking on the forum and you will hear about them.

[cheeseheaded]

cancelled...Caly pre-orders last week, I didn't see it happening at this point

National Knives still has the Caly 3 Hap for a not totally pain causing 155...but probably not for long.

[Sushimoto]

I too got a cancelation email from KC for my pre order Para 3 Cru Wear. Disappointing. I called several times through the last few weeks and was assured that they would fulfill their pre orders. Just recently started doing business with them. I am not too happy with them right now.

That's what they do ....I learned my lesson long time ago

[ZrowsN1s]

I've never had any luck with preorders.
I've had the best luck here on the forum. That's my advice, instead of preordering, check the forum in the mornings, usually any sprint releases, deals, or anything else of interest will be posted. Early bird gets the spyder :spyder:

I've actually had great luck with several pre-orders but I've always signed up fairly early. If it was more than a few days after the pre-order started then I wouldn't bother. As you suggest, watching the forums for word that the knife in question has started to drop and then checking your favorite dealer works well.

[farnorthdan]

I've also had fairly good luck with pre orders, like SG suggested, get in early, I use a blended approach, put the pre orders in but also seek releases at other vendors as they occur, then cancel pre order if I'm satisfied.

[tookej]

Knife Center got me as well. Disappointed with them for sure. I stuck with them on this one and Calay 3 Hap 40 thinking they knew what they were doing. Apparently not. They have been slow in the past but decent service. I won't do a preorder with them again but maybe a regular production run when I get over it.
