Thank you for the nice compliments, SpyderWill. That is very kind of you.SpyderWill wrote:Thanks for sharing, Michael! It's always fascinating to see some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into knife design and making. It definitely forms an additional appreciation for the craft. I'm looking forward to adding a Rhino to my growing collection in the future.

Also...I find it oddly amusing that your write-up sort of whispers "anyone could do it," while simultaneously screaming "it's nearly impossible to craft one's own Spyderco." Well done!

MichaelI've been reading stuff here for a while and figured it was time to jump in.
As for favorite designs, I have a few. My overall favorite is the Spyderco Techno. There's just something I love about its tank-like build and "personality". The other two are my EDCs that I rotate between which are the Dragonfly 2 and Paramilitary 2.
I like the compact size of the Dragonfly and the compression lock of the PM2, which is why I think the Rhino might be a nice best-of-both-worlds EDC option.

That is a good question, Roman. Spyderco is unable to provide any specific ETA's at this time, unfortunately, but I am hoping it will be soon. I am excitedly impatient to see the final model too, lol.bh49 wrote:Michael,
Do you have any ideas on when Rhino will hit dealers shelves?

Glad to hear that, clovisc.clovisc wrote:I am also very curious when we are going to begin seeing Rhinos on the shelves! With that sweet little trailing point, this is definitely going to be a carry piece for me.Right now, the only trailing point Spydie in my carry rotation is a Moran.
Thank you for the kind words, JonesE.JonesE wrote:Awesome thread! This has got to be my favorite thread on the forum. Thank you Michael for bringing you Rhino to life and sharing with us. It has been really interesting to follow the process from design to finished knife. By the way got a preorder in with KC when they posted the Rhino to their website. Thank you Sal and Eric for collaborating with Michael and bringing his great design to market.
No problem at all.Whitetail addict wrote:Yea I am, sorry for the late reply.SpyderNut wrote:Thank you, Whitetail addict. I really appreciate that.Whitetail addict wrote:

I was raised in a hunting family and my wife is an avid bow-hunter. I am hoping to get some good feed-back on the Rhino this fall if my kin are able to take a few deer. With regard to your screen name, I am thinking you are a hunter also?
Take care,
Michael
I am for sure going to get a rhino and I will try it out for skinning, hopefully im lucky enough to harvest some game and test it out.

Sorry for the ot.. what kind of bows? I got into bows few years back (been hunting with rifles/shotguns for decades) and bought a compound first (Diamond Core), it's been downhill ever since, have two recurves now that I use, latest being a Falco Storm (hunting/horsebow), what an awesome bow! I'm hooked all the way now

Hey JT,
Traditional bows are a lot of fun.
What type of broadheads do you prefer for hunting?
Take care,
Michael
You are too kind, JT. I am sure you are much better than just a rookie.JT wrote:SpyderNut wrote:

I happily admit, I'm a rookie compared to you and your wifeThere's just something so primitive when hunting with the bow, and I like it alot, no matter if I get any game or not. When I was young it was all about the game, not so much anymore.
I'm pretty accurate to say 20 yards with the recurve, and I'll keep that as the max limit until I practice more. I use Judo's or G5 SGH for small game, and G5 montec is reserved for Roe Deer, no luck with them yet, it is a real challenge to get close enough. But that's the fun of it.
Sorry guys for the OT, back on topic fellas.
