Rhino
Re: Rhino
Yes, I have also heard of a store that has a service grinding Spyderedges into blades but I should someday try to order a blade, see if I can have it delivered there then ground and shipped to me in the Netherlands.
We usually pay a load of taxes and shipping (customs here even tax the shipping fees) so if I would have to pay that twice it would become very expensive.
Should look into it though, maybe try out a Byrd first?

Re: Rhino
I've had the same thought about purchasing an inexpensive PE model or even making a basic folder and then sending it out for a full SE or even a combo-edge. It would be cool to hear from other folks who have used this service on their own knives before "jumping in" with both feet. :)Joris Mo wrote:Yes, I have also heard of a store that has a service grinding Spyderedges into blades but I should someday try to order a blade, see if I can have it delivered there then ground and shipped to me in the Netherlands.

Re: Rhino
Exactly! That would be very similar to how the old SE Military models were done. This gives you a decent section of PE right at the tip, which is great for detail cutting.

sweeping full-flat-ground CTS® BD1 stainless steel blade packs plenty
of edge into its length and cuts with authority far beyond its size. To ensure
convenient carry, the Reinhold Rhino includes a reversible clip that provides
ambidextrous tip-up carry and a lined lanyard hole for easy
attachment of lanyards and fobs.

Re: Rhino
The Reinhold Rhino is now REAL! Congratulations, Michael! Very impressive "Little Big Knife." So many quality details in this little beast of a cutter. Well-designed ergos. Cool blade shape. Nested liners, nice touch. Looking forward to getting a hold of it.

Re: Rhino
So will the BD1 steel dramatically reduce the price of this knife? Or not so much?

Re: Rhino
Rhino is one of only two knives I will be interested in mid-year catalog. I never tried BD1 either. I hope the price will not brake a bank due to heavy royalties to designer :D :)

Man, BD1 is not exciting but this is still the only Mid Year that floats my boat
Re: Rhino
do you want to wait a year for sprint with S110V and dark green polished G10 scales (I know, wishful thinking :) )? or get this now?twinboysdad wrote:Man, BD1 is not exciting but this is still the only Mid Year that floats my boat

Re: Rhino
You are too kind, Sully. Thank you for the nice comments. :) I'd love to share my journey with Spyderco with you and the gang. Talk about a fantastic ride! :) I'll do a little write-up here soon regarding my experience and also my designer's mark.Sully wrote:The Reinhold Rhino is now REAL! Congratulations, Michael!

That is a good question. I'm not entirely sure, but I am guessing that it may not effectively lower the overall cost since it is a USA-made steel and must be shipped overseas for production (especially when compared to a steel like VG-10 that is already manufactured overseas).Liquid Cobra wrote:So will the BD1 steel dramatically reduce the price of this knife?

Re: Rhino
Thank you for posting the info from the Mid-Year Catalog, Sparky2016. That was the first thing I saw when I opened this thread. :)

Re: Rhino
I for one would prefer (and can wait for) S110V steel. Sorry Michael, I do not mean to offend, BD1 does not do this knife justice, your knife deserves better.bh49 wrote:do you want to wait a year for sprint with S110V and dark green polished G10 scales (I know, wishful thinking :) )? or get this now?twinboysdad wrote:Man, BD1 is not exciting but this is still the only Mid Year that floats my boat

Re: Rhino
Man, great price on this. $50 at KnifeCenter. I think I will have to get one as well now. I don't have a blade shape like this at all.
