My Rex 45 Paramilitary 2 came very very sharp! I also have to say this is the very best fit/finish Spyderco I own. It even has some special grinding work that is a little hard to explain. I don’t see it on any of my other Spyderco knives. The edge is very clean, and there aren’t any blemishes/grind issues from the factory. Just 100% :cool:

Looks like I’m gonna miss out on this sprint so I decided to RIT Dye my Cruwear Para 3. Not bad for my first try.

That's really nice and makes me further second guess my Cruwear color choice...

At least you chose to dye yours red. Not sure what I was thinking when I went with a darker shade of grey. I like it but all of a sudden I have more grey knives than any other color, and I don't even have any Maxamet grey yet. I guess I was trying to match my grey Cruwear PM2 but now I wish I would've went with something else.

The orange on LQ's Para looks great. It might be the lighting but it looks a little brighter than the burnt orange sprints. I think it looks really good!

After seeing how his turned out I'm tempted to RIT dye my BHQ/DLC that color since I can't get those pivot screws loose on either of my Rex45's. Keep your eyes peeled everyone, might be a couple on eBay sometime soon. Honestly can't see the Rex45 stealing pocket time from M390 or M4. Feel like I got suckered into the hype of something new!

Man, now I am REALLY excited to get that Para 3 I ordered. Makes me feel better about paying a $25 premium over what I would have paid had a pre-ordered.

Would be REALLY cool to see 52100 and Cruwear go head to head with Rex45!

Haha! I've been watching too since RG posted it was in stock. I find it interesting that we're amazed that a model's been in stock somewhere for longer than 15 min. :D

14 still available, get em!!!
Really though, have these sprint runs ever trickled out like this? We’ve seen these go in/out of stock multiple times (per website). I’m new to sprint collecting, myself.

Had I known... Would have rather had a Para 3 than the PM2 that is ‘Out For Delivery’. Hoping for love at 1st sight when that box opens. I gotta stop reading this forum. I want EVERYTHING!
