I ordered one today. I'm not normally a DLC guy but this one just seems right. Plus, I've really liked the LW versions much more that I thought I would.

Don’t pay extortionary prices on the secondary market while you can get them direct from St. Nick’s for $135!

53 remain and more than 24 hours in. That is almost a perfect drop. Everyone who wants one can get it and St. Nick's isn't left holding a bunch.

I wish all drops were like this. Seems like St. Nick's have hit the magic number regarding the quantity of orders for a smooth drop. Never heard any bad experience at all with this drop.

Out of stock!
That drop gave plenty of time for people to grab one if they want and will hopefully keep flippers from getting as big a foothold.

The definition of a perfect drop. Also if you ordered right away they shipped it so fast. I live in NY and from AL it says it'll be here tomorrow. Doesn't get much better than that!

Got mine today. Was a little stiff on first flick but after about 6/7 flicks it was smooth. Centering is good. Better than others I have. Definitely a darker red than g10. This thing is already in my pocket. I am very pleased and happy with mine. Thank you.

I just got mine out of the mailbox. The centering is dead nuts in the middle. The detent is pretty strong too. The action was smooth but it took a pretty good wrist flick to swing the blade closed. I loosened the pivot screw just a little and now it closes much easier. It's still centered and it locks up solid. I've been happy with all my Para 3 LWs but I think this is the best one yet

Mine is a bit stiff but that’s expected with DLC in my experience. I usually wait for it to loosen up naturally with break-in before I adjust anything. Seems like I usually end up not needing any adjustments at all.
Very happy with the quality of this one and the colorway is just 10/10 in my opinion.

Thanks to St Nicks for another really well planned and executed drop! Got mine today and it's an instant favorite. The colors are awesome and the quality control is also great on my example, as others have mentioned.
My only complaint is they need to start dropping some models I don't like! :)

Got mine today and after a few open/closes it drops shut. I can't believe these were only 135. Unbelievable deal.

Also took delivery of one of these beauties today. Drop shut action right out of the box. The red is definitely more on the maroon side, and the blacked-out compression lock bar really makes this puppy pop compared to previous drops in this color scheme.
It was hard to get the color spot on in the shot (the true color is very close to the promo shots from St. Nicks), but you can at least see how dark it is in comparison to the red on a typical Spyderco box.

The centering on mine is horrible. Also has worst lock stick I ever seen in a compression lock. Action is either tight or has blade play. Haven’t opened it up yet.
My BHQ Mint in M4 was perfect out of the box. Luck of the draw I guess.

Have to live with it, unless this one's finally CQI'ed in the future. Try loosening the pivots just by a hair. Even when you get one centered, sooner or later it will develop off-centering. Still love this knife though. Can't wait to get mine hopefully within 2 weeks here.

Looks real good! I think this is the best Para3 LW colorway yet. Can't wait to get mine on this side of the globe soon!

Why don’t you create a new thread for Jester CPM-4V Black TiCN Blade Red FRN JRDBK St. Nick's Knives (Japan)?
