I have a feeling they are all sold, but the site is having issues. DLT is usually very good about sending confirmation emails within seconds of a purchase. 15 minutes later, no email and knives are still in stock.
I got a confirmation email...

I think these will sell out soon, but not as quickly since so many people have the g10 para3 or pm2 versions. I do, and after carrying the lw version a while, I'll have to decide which I like best, and which gets the chopping block.

Just sticking with the G-10 / Carbon Fiber Para3's, I have collected all of those so far; collecting all of the LW's would be a challenge I'm not up for.

I just got my confirmation from DLT and another from PayPal. Both took almost a half hour to come through.

I just refreshed and the add to cart button is still live. I'm curious if that's a glitch or if they still have them.

It'd be awesome if they still had them. Changing the exclusive purchase window from minutes to hours would be a definite improvement for the average Spyderco user.

Exclusives selling out in minutes or less seems to be a trend that people are now expecting.

This is how easy it was in the past to get just about any sprint or exclusive you wanted. I honestly wish everything would go back to selling at this rate! :eek:

I agree it's way better. I logged in about 11:10 expecting to be SOL, but was happily surprised to see it still available. But I wouldn't count on this happening with any entirely new steel/color configurations. Just my read on the situation.

Edit: DLT may also have ordered a big run of these given the success of their other exclusives.

We still have some, our inventory is in real time, email confirmations are slow on drops due to the very large volume of emails in a short period of time.

We aren't releasing quantity numbers on these, but it was a decent sized run.

I wasn't going to get this one...then I checked my DLT rewards and realized I had a $22 credit. That discount pushed me over the edge haha

How can they list items that haven’t even shipped and are still available on dlt? Any bets what people will pay for them on eBay?

Passed on this as I am waiting for a Cruwear exclusive. Glad to see this not selling out in 5 seconds so everyone who really wants one was able to get one!

I just want to thank DLT for making this a large enough run that it didn't sell out in 3 minutes and move to eBay flipping.

Thanks DLT!

My thanks as well. My order just went through. I'm a big fan of Cruwear….and M390. This one should be fun.

Over or under 5k? :D
