I’m like a kid waiting for Christmas. I check in here multiple times each day hoping to find that same information.

Hard to say. I hope it's easier to get than the crucarta shaman

Anytime between the release of the Release and 120 days. They should start trickling in sometime in February I’d think.

I was on the phone with knife center the other day after cancelling the rosewood shaman pre-order and the customer service rep told me to expect the new sprint models to be available the first or second week of february
Not saying they didn't tell that but, if that's the case, I can't help but wonder why they're not accepting pre-orders for those yet. Also, in the past when there was a whole series of sprint models they definitely weren't released all at once. Each model was released separately over a few months maybe longer.
I know when they announced the Reveal thing and how they wanted it to work they said they intended for models that appear in that release to hit the dealer shelves 120 days latest. But that hasn't always been the case for whatever reason. There's 8 different models in this sprint run and I find it hard to believe they'll all be hitting the dealer's shelves before the next reveal. I could certainly be wrong (hope I am) but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

It would be great if, in an effort to cut down on all the flipping, they released several models at the same time or rolled out groups of models at a time. If they “opened the flood gates” hopefully that cuts back on the intentional flipping, but it may not be so good for those that are planning on getting several different models.
Keeping an eye on any news as I want to try a Rex Chief and maybe the lil native.

Same here! I’m so excited. I was blown away when I saw all that orange in the reveal. I had just bought a military in Rex 45 the day before, and already had the rosewood shaman on pre-order. I had the Para 3 since release, but heard it was run much harder in the Military production.
I’m stumped as to which one to get, as well. I’m leaning towards the G10 native, but the Manix is also calling my name. I think I’ll go with peel ply G10, whatever model I decide.
I feel burnt orange isn’t a good look on plastic. Also, in my opinion, the Shaman did not look pretty in the BHQ video. I’m guessing it’s due to the smooth G10 texture, so I’m happy to have the rosewood if I’m getting a smooth knife either way.

Those are the two I'd be interested in the most too (but I think I'll save up for the K390 Endura and Endela).
Tough choice. Though I think in the end I'd carry the Chief a lot more for its longer edge, lighter weight and just for me better lock.
One European store says they will be available "in February" and both practical for the same price as the "base" models (just 3 or 4 Euros more), which is great!
Hope you'll be able to grab one! :)
