Yea I didn't see that until after I posted the link.
It appears optics planet has a bit of a sore reputation, so I'm ok deleting the link if the collective thinks it's setting people up for a bad time.

National Knives posted a group of these knives about an hour ago. Other dealers may show up over the next day or two.BIGSTRETCH wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 4:42 pm
What makes you say that? I’m pretty sure that dealers get more than one shipment of sprints. We’ve only started seeing drops of 30 or more in the last couple days. It would surprise me if even half the run has sold yet.
I saw that too, that’s why I’m not too worried if I miss the manix.JNewell wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 1:32 pmHere's something I missed earlier - maybe I'm the only one who did. This CPM 15V Manix 2 is described by Spyderco as part of a family of knives with 15V blades. That would seem to all but guarantee that we'll see a PM2 and Para 3 with 15V blades, as well as some of the other usual Golden-made suspects. A big thumbs-up on that.
Hoping they're just regular production and not a sprint if so.JNewell wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 1:32 pmHere's something I missed earlier - maybe I'm the only one who did.

It's hard to compete with REC hype. If these 15V knives had a more flashy colorway I bet they would be going toe to toe with REC.WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 7:22 amWas checking out ebay for a 15V Manix...

s: MT22 RWL34, MT07 Damascus, MT33 REX 76I figured the 15V steel would be a big driving force. Then again I have no idea why people would pay $300+ for a REC colorway. Look good but crazy price.Rymanz wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 3:36 pmIt's hard to compete with REC hype.

The other main difference is the 15V knives are still dropping and the REC Manix sold out in 4 minutes and can't be purchased retail anymore.
Would love to see this. Wouldn't mind a coated blade too.WilliamMunny wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 2:55 pmI would not mind seeing a 15V Native 5 w/G-10. Be a nice combo.
