Spyderco Forums

It's been too long since there has been a release I was interested in. I need BHQ to announce an M4 Manix XL or Lil Native...or at least the DLC Shaman! Or St Nicks to drop another Red G10/4V exclusive! Or Cutlery Shoppe to do an Orange G10 Native in DLC CTS-XHP. Give me somethin I can use! :D

Kind of joking since the DLC M4 Native was only 47 days ago on March 8th, but not really...that's a long time for an addict!

Hang in there guy!!! A Para 3 and a Meercat drop should be happening soon; then another reveal!!! Should be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel about now.

Somebody on /r/knifeclub said they were charged for their Para 3 LW pre-order at Blade HQ.

No shakes for me. I've been knife sober for a couple months now. I'm happy to be coasting along with the abundant stash I have :) I've actually been carrying the same knife for a couple days in a row at times.

^ that said, I am looking forward to receiving my Para 3 LW and the BM Mini Crooked River I won over on BF.

No shakes here. Red g10 ukpk fixed me up. Also picked up a production serge coin claw. Otherwise, it’s been quiet for a little while. Tempted by the serrated para3 lightweight, but not convinced yet.

I want a Para 3 LW but I am holding out for the onslaught of exclusives. I heard a rumor that there are at least 10 exclusives in the works. Wouldn't surprise me. I hope there is some 3V, 4V, and Cruwear somewhere in that mix.

Yes I get the shakes from time to time, but I did just order a Para 3 Lightweight so the shakes have subsided for now

GPK has the Para 3 LW in stock.

I am doing pretty good too. I haven't thguob anything since last year... I did find myself in possession of the new G10 UKPK and Ikuchi... and some Spyderco stones. But otherwise nothing :D

I am going to skip the Para 3 LW; already cancelled the pre-order. Lost interest for some reason. Nothing else on the radar from the official reveal notification.

From what has been talked about, Chief and LW Caly have my interest. Hoping for a new Shaman run. Always ready for something brand new on the PM2 and Native 5 G10 front.

OK, starting to shake a little bit....

I'm in the same boat as you Peter. Very tempted to cancel my pre-order as well. That HH UKPK has really hit the spot for me. Though I am tempted to get the Para 3 just to test it out, see how I like it and probably turn right back around and sell it. If I do like it, I will await the onslaught of sprints and exclusives that will soon follow and grab whichever is most appealing to me. Standard run will just be a trial.

Same here, tempted, especially by the SE. Maybe later on.

Someone noted on BF that there is a good chance of dealer exclusives. Perhaps that will be my way in.

I've considered cancelling my pre-order too but then I remember that I've been wanting to try BDN1. I'm also wanting to try a Para 3 with a wire clip. So the standard production version is fine. Not sure how much I'll get caught up in the exclusive thing. As much as I like a variety of colors and steels it turns out I'm ok with the basic black version.

Yea I got a bit carried away with the Para 3 explosion last year. Came to senses that I really didn't need 6 different G10 versions of the knife. If I like this one, I may end up with only 1 or 2...I hope

Man, I forgot that base model Para 3 LW was only $91! :eek: What have you guys been adding to your carts to get over that $99 free shipping bump?

Nothing, bc I have to pay sales tax. Out the door $102 for me from knives plus with base shipping charge and sales tax.

I managed to hold it together by finally picking up a Smock (I see what all the hype has been about, it's a fun knife). I also have managed to pick up the ZT 0801ti Sprint in m390 with the blue ano handle. And just over the last 3 weeks I've also added the BM Bailout, the Ikuchi, and the DLC M4/Jade Yojimbo.

So basically I'll have the shakes again by Saturday.

The cure for shakes in between spyder hits is aftermarket customization :D Scales, clips, blade finishes, regrinds, you name it. Got some Python Micarta scales with a lanyard hole delete and the extra screw holes removed on the way myself :D

Nope. I'm happy with my collection, it serves me well.

I'd buy an M4 DLC Manix XL though :)

I use to not be able to go for more then one week without having to impulsively buy a new knife. I’m doing pretty good now, I haven’t bought a new knife since February and I’m trying to keep my cool :)

I am getting a bit antsy... would like to see Manix XL in M4, K390, or 4V... or Manix 2 in K390 or 4V... CF would be nice. I think I'd like to handle some of the new and coming lightweights in person though, before buying. May have to take a trip to my "local" 50-mile-away store. The lightwt Police will be very tempting in any of the prospective steels.
