Re: Reveal 3 Released!
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:18 pm
There are some good looking knives in that reveal. Might want to double check the weight of the shaman sprint as listed in the app, though, as I'm seeing it at almost 3.5 tons!
I just showed my girl the counter puppies. She said they're a no go for her haha. I might just have to buy one for myself then
From their web description: "Disclaimer: Although we have a large quantity on order with the manufacturer and through distribution, we are not provided with any details as to how many we will receive. We expect most, if not all, pre-orders to be filled, however, cannot guarantee until all the inventory has been allocated. Orders will be shipped based on pre-order date. Due to the very limited nature of this item and its high demand, we reserve the right to limit the quantity to one per customer."TkoK83Spy wrote: āMon Sep 16, 2019 7:13 pmI remember when the Para 3 in Rex45 was coming out they had it available to preorder, then after a while it was no longer an option. They must have had a heads up on how many they were getting in and once that number was hit, they pulled the preorder option.
I'm obviously not certain on this, but logically it makes sense haha.
I've pre-ordered many times through KC and I've always received my order BUT the key is to get on the list early. I think the latest I got in was like 7 hours after they put the pre-order on their site. I think that was for the Caly 3 sprint run. I remember because another forum friend and I were sweating it for months before they dropped. When they finally dropped it was taking a long time for KC to ship my order. I ended up getting a little anxious and ordered one from another dealer. Then, sure enough a couple days later I received a notice from KC that my order was shipping. I could've cancelled but I let it ship. Love the knife but it turns out I don't carry it enough to justify having a backup. So I sold the second one a couple months ago.JuPaul wrote: āMon Sep 16, 2019 10:23 pmFrom their web description: "Disclaimer: Although we have a large quantity on order with the manufacturer and through distribution, we are not provided with any details as to how many we will receive.

So I guess it's not a guarantee, but rather a first-come-first-served situation. Although it sounds like they're optimistic they can fill most orders.

There were some unexpected glitches with the app during this release. We wanted to resolve those prior to sending a notification. We sent one out late yesterday. Hopefully, you received it.
I did get one after I posted this. Thanks Taz. Just felt like I was late to the party because I wasn't checking the forums. My bad I guess haha Maybe if there was a notification level in the forum that emails me about all threads that are created by Spyderco crew and stickied? Or maybe there is a way and idk about it? Either way def got some winners in this reveal. The counter puppy is really gonna save me a lot of sharpening because the knives never make it back in the holder. DLC lwt PM3 also looks amazing.
It looks like they will.

Yeah, that's my hesitation on both...will they be outside my useful/preferred size range? Not sure yet.Mushroom wrote: āThu Sep 19, 2019 6:51 pmIt looks like they will.
Also, even though the specs are right there in the Reveal catalog, I'm still surprised by the size of the Counter Puppies and the Siren. Counter Puppies being much smaller than I thought and the Siren being larger than I thought.
