Reinhold Rhino Update

[BrianMcCord]

So when is this knife EVER going to be released?

When it is ready and up to standards, I assume.

Never! The entire batch is on display in Sal's man cave. He likes them so much, that he doesn't want anyone else to have one.

I know it is off-topic, but I LOVE my Lil' Native. I will be sure to follow suit when I hit 1000. People like you make this forum great.

I had a rough 2017, but your generosity put me back on track. Thanks!

Well, you're very welcome! I can't take all the credit though. I was just paying it forward from a couple of years ago when I won a similar giveaway from RadioactiveSpyder.

Now, as for the Rhino; I have a hunch that the wait won't be much longer. At least, that's what I tell myself.

when you add to cart it's just the $5 pre-order down payment

[xceptnl]

Preordering now. Saw the email from BHQ today while at work

[Spydersense]

Pre ordered :)

Edit*- Guess I jumped the gun. Canceled this pre-order because I can get it cheaper direct from SFO when it drops.

I pre-ordered from BHQ as well. This little knife hits all the marks for a must have. Any chance of a Rhino XL in the future? I think it would be the bees knees in a 3.5-4.0" blade.

Thank you kindly for the support on the Rhino, Ben. :) I would love to hear your thoughts on the design after it arrives. As for the possibility of a larger version, I obviously can’t speak for Spyderco, but I believe a lot would depend on how well the first (smaller) version is received. (For what it’s worth, I do have a larger prototype ready-to-go in the event that things move that way).

Now that BHQ has a preorder up, are we thinking days or weeks before it drops?

I sent an inquiry to Spyderco last week and am just waiting on a response. Hopefully we'll hear something soon! :)

[Rtal]

Another little big knife I am looking forward to! Hopefully soon.

[Evil D]

I can't wait to see some size comparison shots of this one.

[ZrowsN1s]

I'm so ready for this knife :D

Thanks, man. Me too. :)

One thing folks may not know about the Rhino...

I originally sketched this design sometime in early 2014, just a few months before my mother passed away. I went through some dark days after she passed, but being able to focus on making that first Rhino really helped me think more positively about my life and what I was doing. I owe a lot to my mom. She was an artist and had a very keen eye for design.

Good stuff.

That makes this a special design indeed. Thanks for sharing the backstory. Can't wait to try it out.

Thank you for the kind words, my friend. :)

[gundamaniac]

Thanks for sharing your story SpyderNut. It really does make the design even more special. Sounds like it was a good thing then that Spyderco is taking the time to revamp and make sure the knife is just right before releasing it.

Thank you, sir. :) I am hoping that folks will enjoy it after it arrives. The Amalgam looks fantastic, by the way! I’m definitely looking forward to this one. Very happy for you!

I've been checking every morning to see if this has dropped yet. I imagine it's gotta be soon.

[Northglenn500]

I apologize if this has already been asked and answered, but does anyone know if the handle will be a full, four-fingered grip? It kinda looks like it was made for only three, but it's hard to tell.
