Upcoming: St. Nick's Para 3 LW DLC 4V red FRN exclusive

I wish this was the G10, version, but I guess I missed that one a few years back.

[Sharp Guy]

Thanks for sharing! I'll have to keep an eye out for that drop.

Soon Kyle

Is the jester dragonfly sized or is it smaller? Anyone have good comparison pics?

Jesters use the standard Ladybug 3 handles.

The FRN on these definitely looks more Burgundy than their traditional red scales. But, I know red is incredibly hard to photograph. I thought this on some of their other exclusives, and it turn out red. What do y’all think?

[Ramonade]

I think they can make it so FRN takes exactly the right color ^^ So it should be ver close if not the same as other FRN scaled Nick's exclusives.

I'd go for a sage lw from St. Nicks 100 percent. But I'm not a giant fan of the para 3 lw.

Wonder why Spyderco changed their "red" its more of a dark burgundy now?
Anyway the drop is today for this!

Not sure exactly what change you're referring to. It's never been a fire engine red like the trainer models. The red G10 models have been pretty consistent. I have several and they're all the same. The FRN models vary a little. The SNK Native 5 LW was brighter than some other red FRN we've seen. Otherwise it's all been more of a burgundy color. Also, you can't go by the marketing photos. Often, the actual color is different. We'll see what this one looks like but I expect it to be the same color as the red DLT M390 Para 3 LW

Easy breezy. Glad they ordered so many. 600 gone in less than 4 minutes and the site running smoothly.

[VipeX]

650 out of 1600 gone in 5 minutes

Hats off to St. Nicks not just for bringing this model to the market, but for keeping their site operating smoothly with this drop.

Looking forward to getting this in hand.

yea comparing to the native 5 st nicks or the never summer one.

I haven't been around much the last few months but I had to grab this one, I am a sucker for 4V... Props to St. Nicks for a great drop.

Now about that Millie, LW Manix2, or YoJ*mbo...

[Paraguy]

Who's bought these?

[Mrj]

I’m very excited about this one. The color, the steel, the size and weight. I just really like this rendition.

Looks like the Para 3 ship has finally sailed...or at least for the LW model. Complaints seem to be piling up on the model in general lately.

It's far (edit: FAR) from my favorite model, but ~1100 knives sold in 2 hours is pretty impressive no matter how you look at it

What? Are you referring to this drop? If so, they said there was 1600 made. They were at 500 left a few minutes ago. 1100 units sold in 2 hours seems like a success to me.

Your comment about complaints piling up is the typical internet thing these days. Kind of like the ol' S30V is chippy thing. I have 3 LWs. Soon to be 4. No complaints here

They’ve sold over 1100 of them in a little over 2 hours, this model is clearly still a hot seller. Also, I wouldn’t say complaints are “piling up” either. There have been some reports of issues but nothing out of the ordinary. For the most part it’s been a well received model, at least from what I’ve seen.

I’m certainly a big fan of the model and I was tempted by this one but it’s not a model I feel the need to collect. Decided to save my pennies for the St. Nicks Jester exclusive.
