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.

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!

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:

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.

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:

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.
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

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!

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.

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.

Why would you say that out loud? Now I'm going to have to hide the dang boxes.
