Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Yes, it is. I have 5 PM2's though....looking for the XHP version from Cutlery Shoppe. Think that is gonna be my next one
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Mine arrived yesterday evening and I got to carry it all day today. Hit the edge just a bit on the sharpmaker fine stones to really get the edge to pop and it's been great. My first para 3 and I love the ergos. Love the colors too. The grind on mine is just a little off at the tip but nothing that can't be fixed when I reprofile it later on. The action is breaking in nicely so far. Big thumbs up.
Current collection: ZDP-189 Delica 4, S110V PM2, St. Nick's 4v Para 3, H1 sheepsfoot Manbug, Kapara, VG-10 Dragonfly, ATS-55 Serrated Delica, ZDP-189 MT04 (not broken yet) + Other non spydercos.
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I got mine in today! Hopefully I was one of the last, because that was a long wait. USPS originally quoted me 9/27 delivery, so I’m definitely grinning today!
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I have the exact same quartet! My StNicks just arrived today as well!

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
These 4 are irresistible! That or we both have good taste. Congratulations on getting yours today, too :)
I bought this clip to go with it (for the Domino) but I guess the screws are too small :confused:

Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Thanks! Now I will stress out over when the next one is coming out. :confused:

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Ok, being a knife ho I couldn't resist. Maybe I'll sell off the Delica along with a Pakkawood Delica I have laying around to get me out of Spyderdebt. :)

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Very nice combo! But... you can't sell your Pakkawood Delica!! Such an amazing slicer with very unique scales. Also...incredible Para 3 collection as well.

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I'm not a big Delica fan, it's a great knife don't get me wrong, but I trying to mend my sinful ways and stick to the Para 3. I am a knifeaholic and collectaholic so don't encourage me. The Misses says her patience with my sickness is running thin. Let me translate that to the single folk here. That means I need to buy her some useless and expensive whatever that I can't afford and will never get any return of value from to make up for my knives that we all know I could get my money back from. :eek:

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
Lmfao, so true. I never understood why my father would say stuff like, " Oh no honey, that isn't new, I have had that forvever" or another classic, "How could you forget, you got me that" lol.Crux wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:03 pmI'm not a big Delica fan, it's a great knife don't get me wrong, but I trying to mend my sinful ways and stick to the Para 3.

Now if I wasn't so scared of her catching me lying lol :D
I usually just go with something along the lines of, "Yes, I know that I did something stupid, but do not worry. I am sure I can top this and find a way to make you even more upset".
That usually takes care of it, she gets so mad that she forgets all about the knife :p
Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I just tell my wife, “you knew this about me when we married. I told you it would not change. It’s how I am, part of me.” It doesn’t make her feel better, but she knows it’s true. And these things come in waves, there’s lots of responsibility in between!

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
I just sold a knife on the auction site and made the mistake of telling my wife for how much. Until then she didn't realize what my amazing knives cost. At least I sold it for over what I paid so she didn't say too much. Here's hoping she doesn't do the math to figure out how many dollars worth of knives I've got. She's a really good shot and I don't run that many feet per second.

Re: St. Nick's Knives Exclusive Para 3
These two were waiting for me when I got home last night.
Out of the box they are about as perfect as you can get. I have never had a G10 Delica before but can see why its been a frequent request over the years. Everything that has made it an icon in the knife world, but classed up to the next level. Debating on if I should actually use this thing or not (rare debate as I like to use pretty much all my knives.) The Para 3 is another homerun from Golden. Coating is uniform, screws all sit flush, no damage or imperfections on the G10, very sharp. Mine isn't as tight as others have commented. They both actually fall freely when the lock is disengaged.
I am jealous of the Santa Para 3 sticker though. 2 knife satchels and the basic St. Nicks sticker were my only extra goodies.
