Not at all. I haven't carried mine in months, so carrying it yesterday certainly reminded me of it's heft, but wow does that knife ever make my hand happy.

Re: October and Rex45 aka RexTober!
I had the Rosewood model, but the scales just felt cheap and wouldn't grow on me. I wasn't the biggest fan of the shade of color on my particular scales either. Once I knew this one was coming out, I knew I had to have it!

Took most of the purple off the scale faces, I actually really like the smooth g10 feel and the visible dark purple on the edges.
I do like the looks of your knife! :)

Re: October and Rex45 aka RexTober!
Vivi, let me suggest to you the Endura 4 in HAP 40 once more:
- Basically a cladded version of REX 45, run just a tad softer from what I know (and actually my REX 45 Manix indeed seems to hold an edge longer than even my HAP 40 knives, but that´s just a subjective feeling)
- You obviously warmed up to the E4 shape after carrying the Pac Salt 2
- The SUS410 cladding should provide the protection from corrosion (especially also in the pivot area) that you are looking for
- And: The handle color is burnt orange too...
Should be a lot to like for you?! (For me anyway - HAP40 Endura still my favorite folder ever so far)

My baby girl just arrived in Mo a couple of weeks ago for boot camp She probably won't have time to get cold, real soon.

Yep, I think she finds out her platoon today, they've been in this "quarantine" and haven't begun anything meaningful yet. I think "Red phase" or "red face" is coming soon...poor thing :DJuPaul wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 10:52 amYes she's got busy weeks ahead! Fort Leonardwood?

I wish they would rerun the first round of Rex45 sprints in DLC, which would not break their sprint rules. I REALLY want a black and orange Halloween Millie! :D`

Re: October and Rex45 aka RexTober!
That's the perk of having enough knives, you can customize them yourself without having to buy anything haha. Though 52100 isn't a favorite steel of mine, my Rex45 Manix scales swapped to that blade and hardware is one of my favorite looking knives I have now. Orange and Black is a great combination!
