Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
I am going to have a go at this line-up for some basic sisal rope & cardboard tests...
PM2 10v
Para3 4v
Manix2 Rex45
Para3 K390
Manix2 Cruwear
... I don't really have interest in any other steels at this point so I think that's where I'll stop. I will post up some pics & experiences, my buddy has a K2 that is a better sharpener than I am is going to meet up with me and give me his input on sharpening 10v which I think will help significantly.... he says 10v is easier than s110v or maxamet, but holds a true working edge longer than either -- I can't wait to see, it's been too long for me to have a brand new (to me) steel to play with. :D

Nice! That's a great lineup right there. Interested in your feedback on those...may help sway me for some K390 or 10V in the future.JMM wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 9:47 pmI am going to have a go at this line-up for some basic sisal rope & cardboard tests...

Call out accepted!TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 8:54 pmPlease do some weekly reviews! I'm trying my best lately, but have to admit it's a bit disappointing seeing threads blow up with people saying they got the latest exclusive in such and such steel...then never seeing any reviews or hearing anything about the steel besides pics of a brand new knife.Cycletroll wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 8:32 pmMy satin 10v is en route
Will be curious to see how it compares to :
K390 P4
KW C.F. M4 PM2
Rex45 Mille
Maxamet PM2
Gonna have some serious cutting and sharpening to do!
We'll never learn that way... Not trying to call you out, but those are some amazing knives and don't recall ever seeing a breakdown or review. Your a regular member, talking about using and sharpening...help us all out with some reviews and updates!
You're totally right. I will have to do my best to try and give some well formed objective reviews.
Speaking of which, where the heck is Vivi already!!
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Awesome!! Those are great knives, I look forward to it!
And for real...we need that guy back here! I figured he would be back by now. Hopefully someday!

Christy is making me wish I bought a DLC version too! Could only really justify one and I generally go for uncoated blades so satin it is. PM2 is "tacticool" enough already LOL
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
My satin 10V PM2 just arrived. Thanks, REC for taking the chance, and thanks Golden for another flawless production.

Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
I'm a fan of the Earth Brown scales of other production models but this Coyote lighter brown is a winner; comparison shot of the Manix /M390 vs the new 10V model :spyder:
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Mine came today. I put the box in the garage. Will let it sit for a few days, along with the others, to let the Ebola and Chi-vi to die off.

Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Mine came today too. Good overall execution except for a big crack in the scale at the edge of the compression lock
Have a call into REC. Probably nothing they can do other than refund which I don't want. Will probably just end up putting some epoxy in the split and clamping it. It will be a user for sure anyway. :)
At least the edge bevels are nice and even!

Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Received my DLC version today, I definitely prefer the lighter brown of this one to the darker Brown of the S35VN, still super cool to see a CPM-10V Spyderco, hope they or somebody does a Military also
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
You might be surprised! Retailers will sometimes withhold a number of them for this very reason. It's definitely worth calling to see what they can do about an exchange.Cycletroll wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 6:44 pmMine came today too.

That's what I'm hoping. I've already called as well as sent a pic of the damage. Not really worried. I'm sure it will all work out :)
Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
Awesome specimen! The detent is a lot stronger and crisper than any other PM2 in my possession. About the same as my modded one. Love it!

Re: Rivers Edge Cutlery Mystery Exclusive (DLC 10V/Coyote Brown G10 Paramilitary 2)
I have a small chip in the edge that should sharpen out, if you look directly under the spyder logo you can see it like a black pepper flake

Is it a chip or a deformation?SpyderGrill wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 12:44 amI have a small chip in the edge that should sharpen out, if you look directly under the spyder logo you can see it like a black pepper flake
