Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the special on the Para FG in D2 at the Spyderco site. I had been working myself up to it for about a week. I received confirmation of shipment yesterday as well. This morning I looked at the site again and saw that the knife is now out of stock. Whew, that was close.

Wow that's wild I got one yesterday too. I was shocked when there was no shipping and handling charge. Guess I nabbed it just in time.

There must have found a few more because I just ordered one this morning and the site is not indicating "out of stock".

I bought a D2 Para a few weeks ago--the same thing was happening then. In stock, out of stock, in stock, etc. The same thing happens at the Busse Company Store.

I just checked their website and they still have them up for sale. D2 steel with FG G10 handle. I pulled the trigger and ordered one.
I had been considering the delica with the FG G10 handle, but this was too much of a bargain to pass up. I figure the delica will still be around for awhile; not sure about this Para though.

I just bought my fourth Para D2! 99.95$ & free shipping from the SFO, which makes it also the cheapest of the four. This one is going to receive custom scales made by CSD in Germany. We trimmed about 5 mm from the handle to make it more proportionate with the blade. I will post pictures as soon as I receive and install these scales.

Birthday present to yourself?
Mine came in the mail (Thursday) the day I got back from having my gallbladder removed. I think the knife is sharper than the scalpel they used. What a great knife at a great price. Now I have 4: 2 D2's, a camo w/silver blade and a black handled one with silver blade.

Exactly my chain of thought as well
Plus it's cheaper!
EDIT TO ADD: I placed my order for the D2 Para last night(Friday) around 8 PM(Eastern US). Just got an email today letting me know that my order has shipped. On a Saturday, no less! Great job with customer service.

That's what I'm doing. Two stashed and one is my new EDC for a while until I rotate again. It feels great to carry such a fine knife. I have 60+ days into one of my Orange Militarys too

Damn you all, I had to finally pull the trigger on this too, thinking it might be unavailable soon. Will be my first Para, got two Millies. I was really wanting to wait until Spyderco felt pressured to release an orange Para sprint run. To be fair been thinking of getting a Para for a while, I feel very self conscious edc'ing a Millie, its a little big.
This is going to be an expensive week, with (hopefully) a new Mule coming out.
