Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
^^^^^^That photo makes my point from yester-year that a gray (or grey) Rhino would have been killer. Gray G10, gray micarta, gray whatever. Ok fine, better suited for when the Rhino is in full sprint. :D
Credit to Spyderco for reconfiguring the Rhino with even better materials when the initial piece was not up to par. They're making it even more "worth the wait." What a cool design it is, made even better by skipping past the entry-level version. Though I do appreciate the merit of the low-cost/value argument.
Expecting a leadoff homerun for Michael, and already looking forward to seeing what designs follow.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Yeah I think a Grey G-10 would be nice too. A polished G-10 "white rhino" would also be cool :DSully wrote:^^^^^^That photo makes my point from yester-year that a gray (or grey) Rhino would have been killer.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
What I really like about this knife is I don't feel like I have to wait for a sprint before I pick one up. It's already got upgraded handles, washers, and steel on the base model. That being said I also can't wait for sprints. :D I have an addiction.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I'm sure this will be a fantastic knife, but it is going to be too rich for my blood. Ever since I lost my Dragonfly in ZDP-189, I don't want to EDC a knife over $70. Pre-order canceled.
Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
you right. You need to work on not loosing knives first. I never lost any of my knives.cyclone336 wrote:I'm sure this will be a fantastic knife, but it is going to be too rich for my blood. Ever since I lost my Dragonfly in ZDP-189, I don't want to EDC a knife over $70. Pre-order canceled.
But I recently lost my favorite light :) :eek:

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Thanks! Yeah. I don't know what happened. It was clipped in my pocket when I went to the optometrist, but when I got home it was gone. Since then I have been carrying a Roadie. I love that guy, but he is too small for some EDC tasks.bh49 wrote:you right. You need to work on not loosing knives first. I never lost any of my knives.

If I would be you, I would never go to this optometrist ever. :)cyclone336 wrote: I don't know what happened. It was clipped in my pocket when I went to the optometrist, but when I got home it was gone.
I have no clue where I lost my light. Fortunately I got 15% off coupon and got replacement.
Sorry about lost Dragonfly. It is a good knife.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Hi Cyclone,
Welcome to our forum.
I agree not losing knives is better than losing them. Sorry about your loss.
A thought to share: Sometimes one lessens the experience by putting a dollar value on it.
I won't carry an expensive knife because I might lose it.
I drive a cheap car because I might crash.
I eat cheap food because I might throw up.
etc. etc. etc.
balance and moderation is a good standard.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I used to hesitate to carry my expensive knives. But then one day I had a thought that sort of changed things for me, who am I saving them for? Future me? Relatives, friends, or the next guy who happens to end up with them after I'm dead and gone? Everything falls apart. :) Enjoy it before it falls apart.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Right, and that's why I believe in "buy once, cry once" for good gear. Unfortunately for me, buying twice or thrice ends up being more crying than I want to do. So I guess my comment was an expression of disappointment in the fact that I will not allow myself to buy the new Rhino and not a judgement on the merits of the new Rhino.sal wrote:Sometimes one lessens the experience by putting a dollar value on it.
Also, it would have been a harder decision if your Byrd knives weren't so good (I'm looking at you, Crow 2).

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Welcome to the forum, Cyclone. Nice to have you here! Sorry to hear about the missing Dragonfly 2. I had a similar incident with losing a Calypso Jr. many years ago. Never knew where I lost it, but it bummed me out for several weeks. :o I am really hoping the Rhino's cost stays fairly reasonable when it comes out. Hopefully you can get one. :)bh49 wrote:If I would be you, I would never go to this optometrist ever. :)cyclone336 wrote: I don't know what happened.

True! Although I've been known to use the reverse perspective when pleading with my wife: "But Honey, I won't lose this expensive knife because I'll be extra careful with it."bh49 wrote:sal wrote: I won't carry an expensive knife because I might lose it.
