Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

Not sure if it is real or site glitch,but they are showing in stock. I just got a confirmation email. I call shenanigans Got my hopes on them kicking out people who tried to order two and then putting them back for sale. I was calling shenanigans on you. Post your confirmation email or it doesn't e...

Re: Delica HAP40/SUS410 TiCN with red G10 St. Nick's Knives Exclusive

Picked up one of these at the store today and really like it. I expected the G10 would add some width, but the handles are actually a little thinner than the FRN models I have (0.35" vs 0.38") Very grippy surfacing on them. Solidest feeling Delica I've held, and the prettiest as well. I c...

Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

I have high hopes for a PM2 version of this knife and cautiously expect that REC will either get a better website host or find a better way to distribute that is within their control. My point in the comparison with the St. Nick Knives Delica was not to get hung up on one specific thing (i.e. price)...

Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

I'll do business with REC in the future, I've had nothing but good interactions with them. Let's be realistic here, they could just as easily had a slow-seller like the Delica exclusive at St. Nick's Knives. It isn't always easy or obvious to know what the market will go bonkers for.

Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

What a ****** company. I'm done wasting time on their awful website. Will not purchase from them ever. complete failure. I have an adult job, so I don't have time to refresh every 5 minutes...and than have the site crash again:) Good luck to the diehards. Relax! It's not the end of the world. I dec...

Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

While these random mini-drops are a total PITA for the customer, REC had to pick a way to distribute these so it is what it is. Unfortunately as already demonstrated here, this method is going to result in unhappiness for a variety of reasons. I'm very glad I got one when it first dropped. My only r...

Re: Para 3 with CTS 204P River's Edge - New Shipment

REC announced Plan B. Ugh, this is my least desired outcome having to check randomly over the next three days. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: First off, We apologize for the website crash yesterday, it was beyond our control. We appreiciate your continued patience!! It turns out our website just couldn't ha...

Re: Time Capsule Knife Gift

100% forum knife. It's the only one that comes from the factory with the year your kid is born. Sprints are all fine and dandy but how much patina will the blades on many of them have in 20 years, even with careful storage? I would think your kid would have more appreciation for something that still...

Re: M390 for $47 more than S110V?

I avoid Bento. For example, selling the REX 45 sprints at MSRP is straight up gouging. Why support that?

Re: Burnt Orange Rex 45 para 3

DLT oversold their stock and are offering refunds or shipment when more arrive. I placed my order after someone here clued us in. Got the shipping notice almost right away. Their system must not shut down new orders if some one clicks "add to cart" and is working on filling out the order ...

They didn't sell any yet. They're going to announce a new date in the future.
Disinformation! You're trying to get us to stop refreshing so you can get your order in! :)
