Mystery DLT Exclusive
Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I probably would have picked one up if it had the dimples. It lacks the character of the original.
Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
The original did also have a G10 scale over a full stainless steel liner.

Still more than 600 one hour after the drop. These are going slowly, everyone who wants one will be able to get one!
Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I can’t believe I bought one, so pricey especially after exchange to Canadian. And I’m already planning on spending more to have it engraved like I did my Swayback, lol!

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I had the OG version and I just couldn't take the edge retention, it was on par with my decade old 154CM Manix. But it was a very cool (and unusual) knife design otherwise.... and while I'm not a huge CruWear fan I do like it. I'm interested in what others take on it is, it's bigger and heavier than most folks will want to EDC for sure. :eek: :rolleyes:steelcity16 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 10:48 am
The biggest appeal to me about the original was the rare as hen's teeth in a folder 3V steel, and I still didn't buy one. Without the 3V it is just an odd looking knife as you said.
:D
Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
And even an average sized/built fixed blade is probably significantly stronger just because of the disadvantages of folding designs. Still, after doing my ill fated attempt of carrying a Jumpmaster 2 I've found that a folder is just plain more convenient sometimes so maybe someone out there could actually benefit from a beefy folder. Strider and Hinderer and CRK seem to make a living off of them. I do wonder how this knife would be with a super high hollow grind, at least up to just under the fuller. It would still wedge at the top of the blade but at least it would slice better below the fuller and it's a fairly tall blade.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I'll be curious to see how this compares to my original dimpled 3V (D3v?) Version?

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
Thankfully she expected the $315, she woke me up early to make sure I was on to order it lol but yeah, not $630, it will just end up costing me more now, since I'll have to buy flowers on the way home tonight... I should be able to find a friend to buy the extra or I guess worse case I can offload it on ebay even know the idea of that makes me feel dirtyTkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 1:15 pmOooofff!

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
It's amazing we've reached a point where if a sprint or exclusive doesn't sell out in literally minutes, it isn't considered a success or popular.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
it's hard to judge that, who knows how many DLT ordered and it is up there in price which i'm guessing is a smaller consumer group.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I've thought the same thing during a few of the recent exclusives that have dropped. I'm guessing more of these exclusive knives are being produced than in years past. I'm sure distributors are more than happy when they unload their entire stock in less than a day...even if it doesn't happen in a minute and 6 seconds.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
Ugh I have been ridiculous lately I need to calm down, but I talked myself into one because I couldn't get out of my head how much I wanted the original back when it released and I just couldn't make it happen back then. I like that the sprint doesn't have the dimples, it gives the original and this version their own character.
I wasn't sure how this one would go availability wise, but I had hoped that the price point would keep it from vanishing in 5 minutes so I'd have a chance. I had wondered about it because Cru-Wear is popular, but this isn't a practical daily user for most people either. It seems the "user" models people actually carry and use released in the super steels are the sprints that go poof the fastest.
I admit it's a bit of a silly choice for me and my current needs. But when has that ever stopped me? Though in my own defense I did used to EDC larger knives constantly back when I did real work for a living, and I've almost always preferred the "larger" version even back when I was a kid. I'm an Endura guy, not a Delica guy. I don't know the longer blade necessarily does anything, but I've always liked the feel and handling and aesthetics of a larger knife. Spydercos especially just seem to accomplish something I can't quite put my finger on with the larger folders, whether designed in house or as a collaboration.
Heh, if I hadn't already gotten him a shotgun for Christmas (well I went in on one for him), I'd have gotten my brother one because he'd actually beat the living snot out of this thing.
I like big Spydercos and I cannot lie. I need a Subvert too. And a Manix XL. And a Native Chief.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I was set on waiting and doing a trade for one, but an original one sold on eBay for $610 today. Now the thinking is to sell a few this week and get one tonight through DLT avoiding the secondary market altogether.

If the first round of Rex45 went that fast I'd have never landed any of 'em.... It is definitely becoming the new normal :rolleyes:

It's so funny these are already on eBay for $500 when they're not even sold out yet. Like the Colorado PM2 too.
