National knives is an awesome company. Rob is a great guy.

Agreed; I'm happy to give him my business.

REC can sell 700 of their exclusives in 3 minutes. So 70 that they announced to the world isn’t surprising. Congratulations to those that won the prize.

Very true. Still crazy though!

Snagged one from GoingGear

Holy moley these things are going even faster than the Manix were.

Did DLT drop, or is that post in the alert thread just another off topic reply...?

I've tried to stay quiet through all this drama, but that one bothered me.

Edit: still shows coming soon on their website

I also think it's hilarious that you're complaining about a price increase on something that, for most of us, has become a pleasure item and not really a necessity. ] Get a grip people! You think you're "owning" us by stressing how these knives are not a necessity. No, they're not necessa...

What do people think about aluminium/aluminum replacement cages? They are a touch lighter and cheaper than Ti, I guess… But what I don’t know is how they feel and/or how quickly they wear. Has corrosion/rust or the standard ball bearing been an issue for anyone? Aluminum will wear faster than titan...

... i only think of that when it comes to spyderco because they are the only company i know of that does this. most raise prices as necessary, but even with inflation, many other companies have not raised their prices, or certainly not so drastically. ... Spyderco isn't the only one to do this. Pre...

I snagged one of these at White Mountain, and I already have an AWT scale set and Flytanium ball cage waiting for it's arrival. I'm debating on whether to go with a ceramic ball and lighter spring. I typically don't have a problem with the factory spring rate on the Manix knives, but I'm also curio...

Yeah, I'm new here and joined specifically to get alerts for this knife. I really don't understand the antagonistic responses by those insisting that someone has "made up a rule". Maybe they don't like being admonished for posting non-alerts in the alert thread, but to me this is very sim...

Which ceramic ball did you go with? There are two types, and based on my research the Zirconium Oxide is likely the better choice due to its superior impact resistance versus the Silcon Nitride.

...
flytanium even offers a glass ball replacement.

That just sounds like a bad time.

why would that be the best solution? that doesn't help anyone. what do you consider whining? i think there is some validity to the complaints surrounding this release. It wouldn’t be the forum members here who benefit from it but yes, it actually would help a lot of people. Why do I think that woul...

.... I remember the first time trying to remove the lanyard tube from my PM2 back in the day. Yikes :winking-tongue . Granted it's a little easier to remove on the Manix, but I'm glad there's tools that exist now to help with the process. I'm too cheap for that though and designed my own pusher and...

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...

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... https://www.ebay.com/itm/285085002153?hash=item426063e9a9:g:Nv4AAOSwfcBjpNUC I've purchased from this seller before.
