I saw the pre-order on IG. Got in to put my money down. After the drop, I got my Shaman in 3 days!! Wow.

The Bark River Puukko is an amazing value. DLT has the best selection of production and exclusive Bark Rivers I have seen. The Puukko arrived sooner than expected.

Once again, UPS can't get anything right. I have had this problem with them before and always, and I mean literally always, chose any carrier when it's an option. But for some godforsaken reason some businesses only use UPS. It happen again. I really, really wanted the product and decided to make the order. Sure enough, the day of the delivery, I get notifed that my address does not exist. The address I get mail and deliveries to nearly every day for 15 years. Of course check the address, it is correct. It has always been correct. Customer Service adds insult to injury, refusing to acknowledge that their maps software doesn't work or their drivers are illiterate and can't read a shipping label.

DLT isn't the only dealer I use, but it is always the first place I look. Has a bit of everything I look for, good selection, reward points, and there are benefits of ordering from Wisconsin.

DLT is my first stop for knives and gear. They don't always have what I want, but they are always the first place I look. Great customer service. Nice rewards program. They have periodic exclusives which are nice values. I would like to see them expand their inventory.

Got a hard to find sprint run. Fast and free shipping. Knife was in my hand in less than a week. No complaints at all.

DLT has an amazing variety of dealer exclusives. I have caught a couple of their Spyderco exclusives in the previous year. This time in was looking at the Mesford 187. Found a pretty big selection of one-of-a-kind 187s with bronze and flame animation and CPM 3V steel, not even available on the Medford website. Incredible.

I think that Nick Shabazz said best when he said that Massdrop offers great prices in exchange for long wait periods. I have found that to be true. Case in point, I got an AD10 for about $135, that is $50 less than anywhere else. But I had to wait 2 weeks to receive it. It works well for me because I don't mind waiting too long if I save enough cash.
