Blows my mind. They either have a ton of them, or we really have reached a turning point for exclusives.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
My bet is on the turning point. I like the color combo, I like the steel, I like the paramilitary 2, even the price is great, but for some reason it doesn’t call out to me. This isn’t just this release. Had it been a different company or different spec’d knife I may have felt the same. I think the state of the current economy combined with pm2 saturation (fatigue) is causing me to avoid the fomo jump to purchase as I had in the past.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
I think it's due to the blade steel being Cruwear. This is the fourth Cruwear version of the PM2.
1st Cruwear sprint run - gray g10
2nd Cruwear DLT exclusive - DLC blade, purple g10
3rd Cruwear production - natural micarta
4th Cruwear DLT exclusive - purple g10
I actually like seeing the exclusives sit for awhile. It gives everyone that wants one a chance to get it, rather than having to camp at a computer for the release.

Out of the box I liked it, but with this pink LynchNW clip I love it!


Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
This is our fastest selling of the Cru-wear exclusives in terms of order velocity - we just have a lot of these.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
While this particular drop was not for me, I appreciate that you invested significant funds so that there are plenty to go around. Part of the reason DLT continues to be a Go To dealer.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
Props to you guys Jordan! Always the best from DLT...that price point is amazing! If I wasn't a seasoned Spyderco junkie I'd be all over this knife. Clearly the best possible PM2 deal out there.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
Very cool to have both this communication from you and also to see that DLT is responding to consumer demand for Spyderco exclusives by actually ordering more. You've earned a repeat customer, especially if you keep making more purple spydercos

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
Just wait until the M4 Shaman drops. You will think exclusives turning point. My bet is PM2 saturation as you mentioned.Rinzler wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 4:56 pmMy bet is on the turning point.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
A DLT employee responded in this thread that it's been their fastest-selling Cruwear exclusive to date, but that they just ordered a *lot* of them.
Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
You are right and I am amazed at the continued surge in sales. I guess people just can't get enough of the cruwear at a good price.
Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
Oh cool, thanks for posting! Glad you all are selling a bunch of them.

Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
Concur with this statement, except this was a drop I've been waiting for, and the knife is living up to my mental hype. Thanks for ordering a ton and pricing them reasonably, it is nice to be able to pick up a really solid offering like this without all the two minute, website crashing, mad scramble nonsense.
Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
That’s good news. And as a consumer who has to fight over drops, even better news. I hope this is a trend that continues.
Re: DLT CruWear Purple G10 PM2
At $158 it’s a no brainer… picked up a couple to customize with different scales. Thanks again to DLT for the great customer service!
