Dude. I think I got the last delica at GP. I hope I got in on time. It's gone now.
Nice! That makes, like, three "I gotta have it, I'm a sucker for a Delica" releases within about a week.
I wonder if this version will be exclusive to DLT? They just say "distributor exclusive".

Here’s a link to that July 2018 Spyderco Byte newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/spyderco/spyderco-byte-july-2018?e=963d2ec1ef
Here’s what it says about Exclusives (dealer or distributor):
“One of the most exciting developments in knife manufacturing in recent years has been the rise of “Exclusive” models—special configurations of established designs produced for a single wholesale customer or distributor. Like a Spyderco Sprint Run, an Exclusive is a one-of-a-kind combination of features and materials that is distinctly different from all other expressions of that same model. Unlike a Sprint Run, however, an Exclusive may be produced more than once. While multiple runs of it may be made, as its name implies, that specific version of the knife remains exclusive to that dealer or distributor and is commercially available only through them.
Spyderco dealers who commission Exclusives typically advertise their projects through their web sites, social media platforms, and e-mail lists. Often, they organize “launch” campaigns to promote the release of the knife and allow customers to pre-order in advance. We at Spyderco also do our part to share the news, featuring the Exclusives on a dedicated page on our web site and announcing their availability through our own social media sites.
Distributor Exclusives are a bit different. Because distributors only sell to dealers—not to the general public—the visibility of their Exclusive projects is more limited. In most cases, distributors only announce their Exclusives to their existing dealer accounts. Not until those dealers “pick up” an Exclusive and start promoting it themselves do the real knife fans get the news.
Although we also include Distributor Exclusives on the dedicated page of our web site, we want to make sure we do everything possible to spread the word of these remarkable knives to both dealers and end users.”

For the year, of the 52 new models already delivered 29 (56%) are “specials” (sprints or exclusives)!

Para3 52100 PlainEdge Peel Ply CF H.L. Dalis (USA) is in stock at some dealers.
Sure is a looker! I'm not digging the black painted pocket clip though.
If anyone picks one of these up and wants to trade for some natural jade G10 scales (plus cash on my part) for their Peel Ply carbon fiber... Get at me!
