I recently picked up a used Delica in Super Blue. Been wanting one for years.

Maxamet para 3, again.

Bought a para 3 from the Spyderco online store last month. Received, opened, found it had a warped blade curved to the right, returned for eval,$10 return shipping. Spyderco called and asked if I wanted a replacement or to return. I asked for a replacement. Saturday I received my replacement. Went on removing pocket clip screws to swap it and found one was spinning freely. Lifted up on the clip and the screw came out, the threads were stripped from the bottom off it. Tried to thread in a fresh screw and it just spiraled.Took another pic and emailed it to Spyderco explaining the liner was not tapped incorrectly and that I had tried a fresh screw. The response i received was, "Spyderco factory outlet provides clip screws free of charge". I repeated my initial complaint and was told, "return for warranty evaluation", $10 more out of pocket.

This is my 23rd Spyderco and the 1st time I've had quality control issue's, which is not too terrible. However, disappointing to say the least, to have to return the same purchase twice on my dime before getting to make even one cut with it.

That's very bad luck... I bought a Para 3 Maxamet and it was the opposite, only golden "Para" series knife on wich I had 0 issue. My regular Para 3 and pm2 had some (minors, was able to solve almost all of them myself) problems.
I hope this gets resolved, and you get some of your money back i a way or another.

Unrelated post-scriptum : Just found a SS ladybug... The cutlery is closed for the holidays but I'll get my hands on it as soon as it reopens. It'll be my "first" VG-10 knife :rofl

The original order was placed January 21, 2021. I just let it ride due to the price and to see how far it would be pushed off. I expect it ship in January to make it a perfect 12 months.

It’s not their fault, they were caught by all the supply slowdowns and shortages just like everyone else.
Quoting myself, how gauche!

I just got an update that it has been pushed to December 30. Pretty certain at this point it will end up shipping in January.

A VG10 Urban leaf in G10, made in Seki-City, is heading my way. I love the design and hope its execution is better than Maniago’s.

Traditional festivities oblige, I just ordered a GB2.

Edit : forgot about it but there's also an Endela SE (I did it Wartstein, I did it !) and a Centofante III on the way.

A Kapara arrived this AM…wasn’t even in the mail long enough to think about this thread.

Hoping a Watu gets packaged up and put in the mail soon…I tried to save a little cash on this one but forgot to check the “availability” when I ordered. Lesson learned.

Been looking at the UKPK salt and Watu since they came out. Knew I would buy them eventually, but I've been trying really hard to get my hoard down to 20 knives. Guess I'll have to settle for 25 since I just bought both of them today.

Super excited to get these in hand

Fell for an Endura in p-wood from KC. It will arrive long before my Native 5 Salt SE arrives. It’s been pushed again to the 10th of January. 🤨
