I can't wait for that Cutlery Shoppe exclusive!! I think the orange and black will top this...by just a tad.

Only because Halloween is coming. After November I think it'll drop back to #3 or #4. IMHO
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

I totally see your point. I wish I had a car that matched a Para 3. :(

The peel ply carbon on the s90v or 52100 doesn’t fit the bill?

Well, it’s too dark I suppose. A definately too expensive.

Maybe not as dark as you're thinking but this is how my Cruwear looks after a bath in Rit dye. It looks a little lighter in that pic than they actually look in indoor lighting.

Holy heck, that looks very good! I don't have the courage to do that, or I would make my Jade M4 DLC that color and just take it out on the Holidays. Very nicely done sir.

I was about to swap my BHQ M4/DLC with my Rex45 to make my orange/black dream combo...now I've got both, the St Nicks and will no way miss out on the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive. Spyderco got me good the past couple months!

are the secondary market prices on this knife in line with what you guys think?
I need one of these or the red m390, but what these st nick ones are going for right now is crazy compared to the price they sold at.
I didnt know it was coming out, so I missed it.
A guy I know offered to sell me his for $200.
Are they that exclusive, or is it just hype right now?
Like are they going to stop being sold on the secondary market all-together, and I will kick myself for not getting this one for two hundo?

Based on what's happened with past P2 and P3 exclusives, I'd say pay the $200 now. I'm guessing that's the cheapest you'll ever see this one again.

I agree. $200 doesn’t seem so bad.
Either be ok with $200 or get used to the idea of something else. They are averaging a new para 3 every 6 weeks. Something else is coming soon.

If I missed an awesome Sprint like St Nick's I would probably spend up to $200. Any more than that is criminal. IMHO

Worst case scenario, you’re getting a good $200 knife. Regardless of what it originally sold for, 4V is a unique steel with some cool traits, the Para 3 is a great knife, and this has a unique look to it. Not exactly a ton of 4V knives available as folders.. especially on good models. This is speaking to its value as a user only.
