mine says it arrived at the distribution center, but it's not giving me a projected delivery date yet. as long as you got an order confirmation, i wouldn't worry too much. it'll get there.

I checked yesterday around 5:00 and it showed the label had been created, then this morning it's magically from Ohio to Central New York. Fine by me...it gives me an excuse to put off stacking firewood for a bit when I get home :cheap-sunglasses

Yea that was fast! Mine is also at the OH distribution center right now. I'm on vacation anyway so it would just be sitting in my mail box.

In an interesting side note about the shipping insurance, I placed my order for the Teal PM2 with REC, I declined the shipping insurance, they threw it in for free with my shipping notification.

With the Manix in the interest of speed I went with it. So not sure if that's a one off or not.
They advertise that they include it free for orders over $500, but if you only ordered the PM2 that wouldn't be applicable. Interesting :face monocle

Has anyone's Manix shipped? My tracking number still shows USPS awaiting the item.
I paid the $8 for 2 day FedEx shipping, I have lost too many things via USPS. Well it shipped yesterday but not schedule to get it until Monday. I am not far either, on the East coast.

Yea I'm sure it'll update at some point; just an odd delay in status.

You look sick. You probably should take the rest of the day off.

i'm trying to decide which ball cage to get with mine. i was thinking the copper might patina to closely match the blade, or i could just get the black aluminum cage. the aluminum is cheaper and doesn't change the aesthetic of the knife, which i like, but copper would be cool too. i don't really have any issues with the plastic, but after having the ti on my other manix, i definitely prefer it. it's a little wider and grippier than the plastic.

anyone else planning on adding a different ball cage? which are you going with?

Mines half way here. I went with FED-ex though. Me and USPS don't get along. $8 FED-ex shipping is a big reason for me to shop at REC and with their reward points (and how much I spend on knives) I basically get free FED-ex shipping.

Mine showed up this morning. It has no cosmetic flaws, and the lockup and centering are perfect.

Just read on the REC Facebook group that they ordered 1500 but on received 800 due to QC issues with the blade coating. I don't know if the other 700 will be sold off as factory seconds or if it means the Manix will be the hard one to find, demanding more money.

that's a lot of factory seconds. i would say i'd pick one up if they were available, but i'm already going to use mine, so there's no reason to pick up a cheaper one to use. maybe as a backup, i guess, but i already have other manixes.
