I have a SPY-27 Para 3 LW but have been waiting for a dealer to do one of these in an M390-class of steel (that doesn't have red handles lol). Love the blue handles on the SPY-27 model, will definitely buy one of these when they drop!

That is the perfect dragonfly but I am having a hard time justifying the $168 price tag. Especially after all of my recent knife purchases. Wow, yeah, MAP of $168 is steep! Reminds me of the Fradon carbon fiber delica that had its price reduced like 3 times. With that said, that Delica had a lot of...

Well, this came in the mail yesterday. Very puzzling how optics planet got a brand new one of these a year after they sold out everywhere. I'm not complaining though!

So I received an email last week that opticsplanet had this knife in stock and was shipping my preorder from a year ago. It’s in the mail. I don’t know how they could have gotten more of these (I checked their website and it never showed as back in stock). Will be interesting to see what I get!

It's already started. This makes me sick. Dude probably thinks he's a good person for donating 10% of his profits to charity after marking the knife up over 200% above msrp. So not in the spirit of the Mule Team. https://www.ebay.com/itm/114683644151 Agreed, it is annoying to see. Though to be fair...

Will these be back in stock for the next Mule drop?

I'm in, they look great!

Very kind of you to do this!

Nice! Thank you! Kristi, will there be multiple Mule scale options available from SFO, or just the usual black? Hey, Julia: Just the standard black at this time. ;) Too bad, really. AFAIK Halpern Titanium has ZERO stock (correct me if I'm wrong). So it's either black or none. :confused: I emailed H...

I admit that I prefer liner- over comp lock generally, but on my Kapara the comp.lock was a bit awkward to use and unsafe concerning dropping the knife: Narrow handle, slick scales, small cutout for the lock tab. I know, Alistair choose the comp.lock partly cause it is more out of the way of stuff ...

I'd definitely be interested! (though not in purple scales ;)) I'm actually really surprised the Para 3 LW has been out for a year and a half and has only had one exclusive (red M390 from DLT). I expected dealers to order exclusives of the Para 3 LW by the truckload after the success of all the regu...

I would love a Kapara or GB2 in this configuration. I really like both those knives but I'm not crazy about their scales, and I love micarta, so that would be a huge win. Cruwear is just a bonus!

I really hope we see a Kapara and/or GB2 exclusive/sprint at some point.

My Spidiechef doesn't have any lockstick and it's pre CQI. Not really notorious unless you get all your info from YouTube vs. reality. I've owned/handled 5+ Chefs (including pre-CQI, first CQI, second CQI, and the blue anodized exclusive) and all have had lockstick, some pretty bad. I realize this ...

"This is not a 400 dollar knife!" - Nick Shabazz https://youtu.be/eP_64k1tdkY Just make a Slysz Bowie 2 in a slightly better steel with a hardened steel lockbar insert for an appropriate $350 and all this madness of greed and idiocy will resolve itself. The original sold for $300. Before ...

Is everyone as excited as I am to see the new full skeletonized liner construction for this model? Eric shows it off a little and talks about it in the knifecenter video. Specs list it at 0.1oz lighter too. I can’t wait to get one in hand. :spyder: I'm not sure about the weight. Spyderco's listing ...

Man, I don't know. This is really one of those thing that I can't really wrap my head around. If the model sell well, Spyderco is going to keep it in the line up. Gayle Bradley 2 was introduced in like 2016, and it is still in 2021 catalogue. I guess the sales are ok enough to keep it. Slysz Bowie ...

I have a slightly different take on this, I think the current demand for the slyz bowie is a result of Spyderco offering so many desirable models at the same time. The Slyz Bowie is one that I, and alot of people I am guessing, wanted to buy but missed it. We just assumed, being such a great knife,...

I sent the Tenacious LW pictured in the first post to a friend. He really likes the beefyness of the blade and has made it his new EDC. When I asked him if he could spot any flaws he said, “Made in China?” :cool: Proud to be an American until I read stuff like this. That seems a little overdramatic...

Mine are all in excellent condition, wouldn't have been disappointed if I bought these as firsts. One Maxamet has a slightly more acute edge on the clip side and the other one might have a slight brown discoloration near the tip (the last 1/8" or 1/16") but those are really minor things. T...

My email from Spyderco on Saturday night didn't include a tracking number but as Kristi mentioned, I did receive one directly from UPS the following day.

Did you get an email confirmation yet? I didn’t get a confirmation page or email but my card was charged so I assume it went through alright.
