Thank you, Lance. I was really hoping to hear a fishing story with that knife, lol. Maybe your father wouldn’t notice a little fish patina?Surfingringo wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 7:27 pmI bought one for my Dad at Blade but I won't be able to send it to him for another month or so. So....I've been enjoying it until then. No kayak use or anything but there's been plenty of fondling. I'm really impressed with the design. I'm not really a fan of most three finger handles (and though I can squeeze 4 fingers on the grip I would consider this a 3 finger handle), but this one works very well for my hand. My pinkie finger rides very comfortably on the butt and it feels almost like I've got a full grip on the knife. I like the negative blade angle and how it offers good pull cut leverage at the heel but still allow the tip to be used on a flat surface even with all that belly. Overall it seems like a very well thought out and executed design. I'll probably get one for myself eventually.

Dang I guess I just assumed the standard ones would fit. I don’t think they will.

Nope. I made that same mistake with the green g10 worker sprint. Tried to get a Lynch clip on it.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Awesome ! I’ll purchase one for sure but I am looking forward to the 3 Inch Rhino :eek: That would be a dream user :cool:SpyderNut wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 8:29 pmThank you, Marius. Appreciate that! :) The cutting edge on the Rhino is 2.29" (58 mm) and my calipers show approximately .0015" behind the edge.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
After such a long wait, it's finally here! Holy cow, was it worth the wait! Hopped in my car and drove over to my local knife shop as soon as i heard it was in stock!

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Happy to report I got my hands on the new Rhino! Here you can see it’s the perfect size for my 4 year old son. Luckily it fits my large hands very well. Well done Spyderco and congrats Michael. The wait has definitely paid off.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I usually don't like blades smaller than 2 3/4". I've been holding off on it to read some of the reviews. Looking at the quality build and the fact that I bypassed the Leafstorm (wanted it after it was retired), I pulled the trigger and ordered a Rhino. I just know if I don't, I'll regret it. I can only hope that they'll make a 3" version in the future.
Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
It's a fun blade shape. Not used to so much belly (on my knives anyways :D ) I'm enjoying it.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I worried about the belly on a gent's knife until I realized that the big belly, on a knife that size and with the negative blade angle, would be terrific for opening boxes. Instead of angling my wrist to puncture with the point, I can slice with the belly while my knuckles rest on the box, without any deep penetration that could cut the stuff inside.
It looks like the Rhino has three blade zones with really different purposes: right above the ricasso, the negative angle will grab onto stuff you're pull-cutting; the belly will provide shallow cutting in parallel with the knuckles; and the point is for splinter pickin'. It's like the anti-Wharncliffe (which has been my preferred gent's knife format so far), and I think it just might work.
At first the weird looks were putting me off, but even they're growing on me. I just need to sell a kidney or something to free up the funds for this and a few other good ones this year.
Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I got a chance to handle one and it's very well made as expected. Looked flawless to me.
That said, the handle wasn't as comfortable for me as the Lil' Native. I have medium hands. There's enough space but I don't like the finger grooves.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
My Rhino just arrived from the CS and it’s beautiful! Even though it’s a small knife, it fits my hand perfectly in a couple different grips. I love the ergonomics, the blade, the handle material and the blade steel. For me it’s better than I expected. It’s a wonderful design and pictures don’t do it justice. I don’t intend to disparage those with a differing opinion. No knife is perfect for every person and some will love it and others will not. I love it and can’t wait for an occasion to give one as a gift.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
If he does one for Benchmade that should fit. I have an old BM Mini-Grip deep carry clip and the hole pattern lined-up. I couldn’t bring myself to bastardize my Rhino, but I checked the fit anyway.Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 10:12 pmswigert wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 10:01 pmDoes he do one for that hole pattern?Liquid Cobra wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 9:30 pmI can already tell I’m gonna want to put an mxg clip on mine.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
I can confirm that the standard Benchmade clip pattern will work. However, the Rhino’s screws are slightly smaller in diameter than Benchmade.

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
That is good to know. I saw yesterday on IG that BM's Bugout clip will actually fit the Rhino too. (It's a deep-carry clip).

Re: Reinhold Rhino Update
Hi Michael. I absolutely love the Rhino. Great balance between size and ergonomics. Awesome job, man.
And for those who are wondering about clip options, here is a quick comparison. The left is the standard clip. The middle one is the shorter Deep Carry Clip for Benchmade from MXG Gear. Right is the Armorous Clip for Benchmade & Emerson from Rev Hartz.
