OK, success. Thanks to all who helped. I took my first look at the alert thread, it mentioned a 199 offer from an Ebay seller with 100 percent feedback and claiming to be an "authorized reseller" and jumped on it. Free shipping. Someone came into the thread to say the seller was legit for...

*Update: Sold Out*

Here's some on ebay for $199 with free shipping. Not affiliated with the seller, but they are an authorized reseller, have perfect feedback, and the price is pretty decent...

I would love to know how many they are making overall.

I think the typical sprint run is around 1,200 or so, and there's no reason to believe this one is any different, give or take a couple hundred.

Just got an in-stock notification from BladeHQ, but when I went to the site it was out of stock. Their notification system is buggy... I think some of these retailers are only putting handfulls up at a time, or playing some games with the stock. I guess to spread drops out to allow people multiple ...

REC said they were going to make a Scorpion Manix 2 in the future. Tan G-10, black DLC and 10V steel. I almost did not buy this one holding out for that one but there was just so much hype about this steel. Plus the amount of passion Shaun put into this is pretty great. Good to know, that would be ...

The new, hot stuff of this knife is the steel. I think the blade steel is pretty much the only selling point? There's a boatload of ball bearing lock Manix 2's already out there, even in this same exact bland color scheme. The stonewashing seems pretty mild and almost not noticeable. So the blade s...

Does anyone know if the 15v Manix 2 has already been sold out through all retailers, or are they still en route to most shops? I've gotten a couple in-stock notices like many other have, but those were gone in literally seconds. I'm hopeful that many major drops haven't happened yet. I got mine by ...

This discussion about the lock material not playing nice with MagnaCut makes me wonder what other companies are doing right or wrong in regards to this. I keep seeing other brands crank out MagnaCut knives and I wonder what they're doing with the heat treat and the lock steel relationship. It does ...

Two new Lil' Temperance3 Lightweight models are trickling in to dealers:

why so expensive?

Why quote a post and include all 15 pictures again?

Don't waste your time, he's a troll. He feeds off the attention from barking loudly with no bite. This is internet shenanigans 101. BBB, You look extremely unprofessional calling that guy a troll when he has been on this forum over 4 years longer than you. "You don't see things the way I do, t...

This collab exists BECAUSE Shawn (a MAJOR innovator and educator in the knife steel world) has believed in this steel and been advocating for this steel for YEARS. And he’s been doing that because as a custom knife maker and steel junkie he saw potential in it, it’s not like someone forced him to s...

You just got me even more excited with your "king of the k390/10v range" summary, thank you! Maxamet never won me over like K390 did from M4, so I'm curious as to how this will feel in comparison. If it behaves more like K390 but cuts as long as Maxamet I'll likely be asking for more 15v!...

According to REC they will be making a Manix 10V (Scorpion) with DLC, 2023 release they hope. It takes care of the toughness and rust issue if that is a concern, but it won’t hold an edge as long. But there is just something cool about this collaboration and the effort that went into it. Yea, good ...

I would agree with the sentiment that a very low toughness steel like 15v isn't an ideal match for one of the harder use folders in Spyderco's lineup such as the Manix. Personally I'd much rather see a 10v Manix2, and they would have my money in an instant for that configuration. But no doubt people...
