Welp... I gotta get back to work. I'll try and check back in another half hour and hope there's still a few left.

I was kind of hoping the demand for this one would be a little less rabid and the overall process smoother but I guess not, hah.

I carry the rex45 m2lw and I love it. It’s sharp as **** too. Only issue I have is the jimping on the back of the blade catches my pocket when putting it back in. I switched the clip and still does it. So I have to slide it in easy. 😎
I had the exact same problem. I am thinking about getting this one and somehow rounding off the jimping. I like the design but my first manix ruined a couple pockets in only a few days.

I logged in early, waited patiently for the status to change, and when it didn't I tried a refresh. All I got was a system unavailable splash screen. Looks like they're not quite ready for prime time.

Too bad, I really wanted this one...

I just hope the fine people at Spyderco take note of how many of us want to see some new translucent FRCP options for the Manix 2 LW.

Nailed it! I found their phone number online and placed my order by phone. They were very gracious and said they were scrambling to get back online.

Baaaaa! 0 for 2 this week! After 25 minutes of server errors (all with the knife in my cart) and not being allowed to complete the paypal check out...sold out. 🤦‍♀️

I got this message also and called them. It sounds like calling is the best way to get the Mystic right now.

Awful drop, hust like the DLC Shaman. I'll be skipping every KnifeJoker exclusive henceforth. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Exact same situation here! Once the site started working for me, I just couldn't get past checkout.

Also 30 minutes of server errors and finally getting to a checkout that would never let me press the order button. Tried calling and was told they would add me to the list and email an invoice later, so who knows. Very frustratin, I really liked the look of this one.

Yeah, this is unfortunate, I was really hoping he would address this after the Shaman debacle (and I actually got one) - on to the next one...

I got one confirmed as of 1054 mountain time...it originally showed out of stock, then refreshed to in stock.

I don’t think it’s truly out of stock, yet.

I think I just got one at 1104 mountain time- no confirmation email from KJ yet but I got an order number and PayPal just sent me a receipt. I lost track of how many times I reloaded the checkout page.

No email from them yet, the guy I talked to said they were trying to get the website back up first and couldn't say when they'd follow up. I got the impression he was trying not to make promises he couldn't guarantee keeping.
