Two things...seeing this thread makes me feel a bit sad about MichaelScott's recent passing, and feel for his friends and family during what is already a tough holiday season...and the other is, that photo above with the 3 models with the different clips...why on god's green earth would ANYBODY put that monstrosity of a pocket clip on the right on ANY knife, let alone such a nice design as the Rhino!?!? I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I just saw that thing! :confused:
AMEN!! This post made me laugh!! :D

Very sad to hear this, my apologies I wasn't aware.
I feel a bit sad that I wasn't able to let him know how much I appreciated his great design.
All the power to Michael on his next travels, hope they are full of love, happiness and good knives.
Blessings and thoughts to his family and friends.
Its nice a bit of him lives on in this knife.

Hi mate, I got mine from the knife warehouse in the ACT, they still have it in stock for $219 free shipping.
That worked out cheaper than buying overseas, not a bad price for here in Oz
I have no affiliation with them or any store.
Seems to be one of the only places selling them in Oz, get on it bro :)

You were just trying to help him out, that´s only a good thing! :)

Btw, confusion oi Austria and Australia is very common: As far as I know the Austrian post service even has a dedicated stamper for shipments that wrongly went to Austria instead of Australia - and there is a motto shirt many tourists buy saying "no kangaroos in Austria" ;)

Very sad to hear about Michael Scott's passing. He was certainly a kind-hearted gentleman and a good friend to many of us here on the forum. I unfortunately never had the opportunity to meet him in person, but I always appreciated his contributions to the forum, as well as his good sense of humor. My sincere condolences to his family.

Hi Michael, Ive read you are the man responsible for these Rhino, ive come to give my thanks and appreciation brother.
Im relatively new to spydercos, my brother got me into Spyderco last year and ive fallen down the hole.
Previous to buying the Rhino ive bought 6 golden models, this is my first non Golden knife and I absolutely love it mate, thank you very much to you, Sal, Eric and all the team.
Its come beautifully finished from the Taichung factory.
Zero blade play, lovely to flick, it even drops down really all the way when closed with one hand.

Love the nice big belly, love the blade thickness, its a bit like my lil native blade thickness wise which I love.
I think you made the exact right decision on a bit of a stronger stouter blade with this smaller Persian style blade design.
The blade shape is what sets your lil ripper apart from other small knives, it makes for an unusual and interesting knife that makes a great little gents knife on steroids.
To be honest the options arnt huge for smaller spydercos, especially compression lock models.
I love small knives and the lil native, one of my fav knives, and so is your Rhino, very stout and strong little knives.

Ive seen the odd review making a few lil nitpicks of this knife, as reviews do for all knives but ive gotta say there's none that bother me.
I love the choil, everything a trade off with knives, if that means a little bit is coming through the compression cutout when closed, totally cool with me.
Also agree with no jumping on the top of the Rhino, just feels and looks cleaner on this design.
Awesome it has a lanyard hole, many small knives don't and its my only negative point on the lil native.

Whats the story with the blade logos being so deeply etched? is that etching or ground out? its a nice touch, both logos look great.

Anybody on the fence about a Rhino, id highly recommend getting one, its a killer and unusual knife that feels nice in the hand, perfect for a gents folder.

So thanks again Michael, Sal and the team, fantastic knife, great design and execution.

Cheers from Sydney.

Hello Salty Dog,

Many thanks for the kind words, my friend. :) Spyderco really did a fantastic job on the design. I'm very happy to hear the Rhino is working well for you. It was originally designed to serve as a pocket-sized skinning knife, but it can be useful for other non-hunting applications as well. I usually carry mine loose in my front right pocket, just like the traditional jackknives I used to carry when I was a kid.

Thanks again! Hope you and yours have a very happy New Year!

-Michael
