I'm out on this one. But here's some advice that has always worked for me. Go ahead (if you haven't already) make an account with st nicks knives and store your credit card info that way you can check out in seconds when the knife drops. With this small of a run and im sure their server isn't the biggest (looking at you DLT) you will not have time to manually enter your info when you checkout. Set an alarm on your phone for 5min before the drop and keep refreshing the product page til it's available.

I think it looks great but I dont care for coated blades and I don't have much use for blades that small.

I hope everybody who wants one is able to get one. These are gonna go fast!

Haven’t tried the lil native yet. Not sure I really want this combo. Maybe hope for an orange cutlery shoppe one.

I have a weekly call in meeting at this very time so looks like I'm out unless I fake illness!!!

Video or just a standard conference call?

If no video, mute and multitask!

Yeah, my kids' open house for school is right at this time. Is it weird to shop for knives while sitting on a mini-chair in a preschool classroom? 'Cause I'm gonna find out.

My wife has a privacy screen on her phone. You can’t see her screen unless looking at it straight on, so snoopers next to you can’t spy on you! Helps keep the kids from watching you buy them surprises...

I think it's okay since it's a small knife.

Only 350 pieces. Oh dear... :eek: Why so few? They can easily sell 1000 or even the standard 1200pcs of this combo, from what we can learn in this thread alone. This is the only thing I don't like about this super nice surprise.

They probably commissioned this last year and were likely concerned about sitting on a bunch of unsold inventory like what happened when they didn't sell through their first exclusive, the Red G10 Delica. They had to deeply discount those to eventually sell them out. They are a relatively small dealer compared to BHQ and DLT, so even 350 of these is a big risk since no one knew if the Lil Native would be popular or a dud.

On the bright side, if these sell out in a few minutes I would think you will see BHQ add this to their Jade M4 series and maybe Cutlery Shoppe will do an Orange G10 DLC CTS-XHP version.

Both are not an option for me. 4V or nothing.

That's a really good idea but I can't seem to figure out how to store my card info with my account. Does St. Nicks let you store credit card info?

Puzzling me too. I even bought something cheap to see if doing that would store my CC info, but nope.
Oh well, I get a cool firesteel.

My bad guys, I forgot I used PayPal on that site. On other dealer sites that don't take PayPal I have my credit card stored on them.

I have my CC stored in my Google account on my PC. It all populates when I start to enter the info when I'm using Chrome. No storing it on the dealer sites that way.

I do the same. Although with all the insane data breaches lately, it makes me nervous to store that info anywhere. I have mine set so I still have to enter the CVV number. Only 3 digits to input, but at least all my info isn't out there in digi-land.

I don’t trust google as far as I can throw their server farm, but Discover has proven to take care of us through multiple breaches and brute force account theft incidents over the years. Not worried about the account being compromised, we and they catch unauthorized activity super quick.

I’m definitely going to try for one. It will be my first lil native if I’m lucky.

I really like the lil Native, overall. The only reason I am not champing at the bit over this one is that it is not a backlock. But this should make anyone a really nice pocket knife to be proud of.

I do the same with the CCV. I'm normally the the last person to do this type of thing. Actually started doing it for some of these insane drops. I think it helped because I always manage to get the ones I want
