Over 20 minutes at Knife Center, that's definitely the longest so far! Still there though.

[Rinzler]

Still at knife center. they picked a good time to drop them versus blade hq's Manix 2 xl drop, I wonder how long they'll stick around at knife center.

Hey thanks! Got a manix 2 XL because of you. I forgot about them till now...

[Rinzler]

woohoo thanks! got it, KC :)

I'm glad you were able to score one. :)

Re: KC, sold out.

[gbcaffee]

KnifeCenter may be out. It says you can add to cart, but if you go to the item page, it says "Discontinued" Nearly 30 minutes there, though.

Glad you got a Manix 2 XL, Rinzler! I've never owned one, but I am excited to see a the performance of such a big slab of M4!

Too slow, looks like they're out at KC now

I notice that people are bonkers for the Lil Native Rex than any other Rex Sprints out there. I wonder why?

It's the first sprint of this model. The first exclusive was more expensive and only like 600 made so very few people got a chance to get one. This sprint is cheaper and more plentiful than that first exclusive. Plus everyone likes rex45

The St. Nick's was only $5.50 more and DLC coated, but there was definitely a lot less available, if I remember correctly after QC that had fewer than 450 available.

You've been on a buying frenzy lately, Lil Native is your favorite model...you've been loving Rex45, I'm assuming you snatched up one of these!?

None for this guy either! I had the St Nicks, but something about it just didn't work for me. Nice to see it was available for a while at KC and some of our members were able to score one.

Anyone know if Blue Lube is good enough to coat the Rex blades? or should I get something more stronger, like the TufGlide?

Blue lube is fine for pivots and moving parts, but it's kinda tacky/thick. I wouldn't use it to coat a blade. Mineral oil (if food safe is a concern) or something like tufglide is better for a blade coating.

I've successfully been using EDCI for quite some time on various non stainless, works well and supposedly food safe.

Thanks man! I gotta get that now.

Lo and behold, my order from Northwest was on my doorstep this evening. A nice little surprise ending to an otherwise exhausting week of work. Looks like USPS failed to update any tracking until it was delivered. Thanks to you all who kept the rest of us up to date on the various release times. This little guy is going to make a great compliment to my Caly3 Hap40. Kind of an old school vs new school knife design.

Mineral oil works...

Got mine the day after I ordered from NGK. Talk about service. I hope everyone can grab one and put it to use. Mine got a couple boxes to open today.
