Congrats! I snagged the last one they had, but just barely. I’m looking forward to it arriving sometime this coming week.
I agree! When I got it in today I noticed that the steel marking on the blade was off-center. I went to a couple of knife dealer websites that have actual pictures of the knife (GPknives and Knifeworks) and checked to see if is was just mine but it seems like all of them are like that.SteveMidwest wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 2:33 pm
Thank you much, for posting this picture Tabo!
When I saw the early pictures of it online. In the Dealer listings, and even from the Shot Show coverage. I noticed then, that the CPM Rex 45 printing was not centered, and that had to just be because, those were early prototypes we were seeing. Now, that I see a true production model for the first time. I have to giggle. :D

To be fair these are a very subdued orange in person. More like a brown(still orange, just less)
No, you haven't missed it. Looks like only CC club and a few other have gone out. Some smaller dealers and shops sign up to get a very small number of every sprint knife - premiers, I think they call it. Those seem to ship first before the bigger shipments to places like Bladehq.
AFAIK they've already dropped at BladeOps (Feb 20), Knifeworks (Feb 21) and St. Nick's (Feb 22).
+1 here. I actually really like this shade of orange, opposed to the Cutlery Shoppe orange. It really does have a fall feeling to it. They are even more subdued after a bit of use too.
+2. Almost more like a terra cotta color, reminds me of Missouri clay. I don't care for bright Halloween and hunters' orange, either, but this color is great.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 6:46 am+1 here.

A new member to the family.
This has the smoothest action I’ve seen yet on a Manix from the factory.
I can’t say I like the color as much as I’d hoped, but that’s the bias of an Auburn Man living in Vols country. Aesthetics will be adjusted asap with new scales and matte clips to come.
I think all the rex45 sprints have had the off-center Spyderco/Rex45 markings. On the others it looks like they did it to fit better next to the spydie hole, so maybe on these they're just keeping it consistent.Tabo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 5:15 pmI agree!
