Nice haul, Steve. The satin one is an especially smokin' deal.
It sure is! :collision

Help me think back, RustyIron. Isn't this the first Rex 45 to be DLC coated, on any Spyderco knife?

I forgot to add my picture of the 'pinch-grip' Mod, that I did to the front of the scales.

Re: Anticipation of: CPM REX T15 in MT34

This T15 has GOT to be just about to drop, right? You would think ! Man, it's been a long wait. It hadn't occurred to me that Spyderco might wait for a previous model to sell out before producing the next. That brings a little raincloud into my knife life. I suspect that the T15 Mules are already m...

Re: enuff 2!!!

I am so glad that the Enuff doesn't have "handle-itis" (=elephantitis of the handle). That's one thing that puts the Enuff on my buy list. I don't like to carry around excess handle. I want just enuff handle, thank you very much. You're right of course, and this knife is perfect in that d...

Re: enuff 2!!!

Thanks Steve, for pictures and measurements! And thank you Wartstein for putting in the request. To me the grip area "behind the choil" looks very similar in length. Maybe a tad bit shorter on the M2, but the absence of finger grooves and a less pronounced hook at the butt end could maybe...

Re: Crowned spines

I’ve been a Spyderco fan for over two decades, but dipped my toe into the Chris Reeve realm a few years ago, with a small sebenza. Aside from the action one of the biggest “premium” features that adds to the knife feel is the rounded or crowned spine. Seems like a pretty simple thing to do, but jus...
