The lower strata of society. Reminds me of my first ex-wife...every "get rich quick" scheme, every freebie, every chance to take advantage of someone for the almighty dollar...$ was, and still is, far and away the single largest motivating factor in her life. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

...sort of

Looks like you can still purchase the PM3 in 4V as part of a package with their exclusive Red G10 and HAP40 Delica. I guess they set some aside specifically for the package deal they're offering.

Yea, they're going to sit on that Delica for a while so they're trying to entice buyers.

Not a bad idea on their part to try and move some of those Delicas. If I hadn't impulse bought the Sprint run HAP40 Wharnie Delica and I wasn't patiently waiting for the SG2 Delica to ship from a certain site, I likely would've given their exclusive Delica a lot more consideration despite its price tag as I really like how they configured it.

Their package deal doesn't seem too bad though; it knocks the price of the Delica down to a more palatable $165...still not amazing in my opinion, but better nonetheless. I wonder how many will pick it up to snag the Para 3 and end up offloading the Delica on the exchange here or elsewhere?

No, not a bad idea at all. The price tag just doesn't have much value - Japanese G10 Spyderco's are expensive. If you're a collector I could see getting both but if you don't want that Delica I don't know that it's going to get you much on the secondary market. The Para 3 would have to absorb some of it's sticker price.

I hope there isn't...then I won't have to buy it. :D

A Para 3 in 4v isn't something I need but a Military? Crap...

The Shaman would be the best Spyderco option for 4v. ;) It would really take advantage of the toughness and strength of the steel by putting it in a larger, robust folder really meant for hard use.

Given how long the dealer has had them in-stock, I'd also expect people to have a hard time trying to make back their money on the Delica, let alone making a buck off of it if they're selling it here or elsewhere.

My initial comment was myself wondering more about how many people will pick up the package solely for the Para 3 and will then put up for sale the Delica to try and recoup some of their money.

I think a large reason these went so quickly was the very unique combination of materials and finish here (4V coated blade and contrasting black hardware with red G10) at a solid price ($155). While the package deal is a half decent buy, if you're buying it solely for the Para 3, you've effectively paid more than double the retail price for one knife, so I can see people wanting so make at least some of that money back if they have absolutely no interest in the second knife (for whatever reason(s)).
 
FYI guys....Greg B from St Nick's asked me to relay this message. Greg and the guys over there are great to deal with. I love my Delica, I can't wait to get my Para 3, and I am very excited to see what they come up with next!


“We are currently still bagging up orders. While for the most part everything went smoothly, there was 2 issues that set us back on Friday.
1) we had to stop shipping because of cancelled orders and fix any that may have already been bagged up on thursday.
2)there was a bug/glitch with the shipping software receiving data from our website. So around 200+ orders didn’t import until we cleared around 350-400 of the first orders. So a lot of people that were with in the first 350 orders, got pushed to the back of the line because of the bug. And we apologize for that. we had no idea that it even happened until around 3-4am friday morning.

And thanks for the support!”

Thanks for the heads up!

Good to know, thanks! I had a very early order so guess I got bumped. No big deal as long as they didn't oversell.

Agreed; I don't mind waiting a few extra days for them to sort out their orders.
