River's Edge Exclusive
River's Edge edge just posted to their Instagram account what appears to be an exclusive. In the comments they say it will be making it's debut at blade show. Any ideas?

Yes, expensive, made in a small quantity, desirable, and will leave a trail of tears from the FOMOers. At least it will fun looking at the cool pictures.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
It’s something with 10V blade steel and brown G10 scales. They use the pet name “scorpion” for their 10V models for some reason.
My guess is a 10V Shaman. Second guess would be a 10V Manix 2.

Right! “Scorpion” is the trendy pet name they use for their 10V exclusives.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Would love to see what it is, Manix or Native 5 maybe. They are good looking knives with a great steel, 10V.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
It's a PM3, black DLC and satin, they can put a scorpion on it (+$15). Looks awesome.
DLC will drop Wednesday the 7th. DLC has black liners!!!
Satin will TBD drop until they get a full shipment from Spyderco.
TBD price, "close to standard model".
REC will sell 200 DLC and 200 Satin at the Blade Show booth 748. If anyone wants to get me a Satin while at the Blade Show that would rock, its 700 miles from me so going is not an option.
REC recorded the live stream on Facebook if anyone wants to watch for more details.
I will have a really hard time choosing DLC vs Satin, think I like Satin better but if I can get a DLC I might just jump in case I miss the Satin.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Had a feeling it'd be something along these lines.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Ehhhhi I liked the green ones, but hen so did everyone else. I don’t much care for their YouTube presence. I’m good on this one.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Does anyone know about the scorpion. Is it etched on the blade? The scales?

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
I'd be all over this in the early days of collecting. Nice knife for sure though, dig that color scheme with the dlc.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
It's a $15 charge and they will etch it into the blade. It's just the colorway that was nicknamed Scorpion, much like the Avocado runs they do.
They seem to sell very well, 10V steel is great, a lot like K390. I am guessing demand will be extremally high as their last PM3 spirit run, the Avocado, is selling for $500+ on the secondary market. Like always there will be a lot of people trying to make money off this. I don't think these will have the same value but will make resellers money.
I want to get a satin as I use my knives and don't want to worry about the DLC scratching. Problem is I might get the DLC just incase I can't get the satin. I can sell/trade the DLC version if I get the satin. They never make this easy.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Have you used DLC coated knives before? I too was hesitant but man is it good stuff. Not a scratch on mine. I’ve even popped beer bottle tops off with the back of my knife and it’s not even marked in any way.WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 7:39 amIt's a $15 charge and they will etch it into the blade.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
I have only used old school junk coatings that would come off. I have heard nothing but good stuff on the DLC. Might have to have both in hand to choose, will be my first PM3.Foehammer wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 7:50 amHave you used DLC coated knives before? I too was hesitant but man is it good stuff.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
I would say don’t hesitate to get the DLC, it’s truly amazing stuff and will blow you away with its performance.

Re: River's Edge Exclusive
Nice, never tried 10V steel so I might give it a go and see if I can get one. Would rather have gotten the PM2 version, but I've long since missed the boat on that one so I'm glad I'll get another chance at grabbing some 10V.

If I didn't already have a K390 Para 3, this would be a nice one to have.
