A sprint run is a release of a low volume production knife usually utilizing exotic or special handle materials and/or blade steel and/or hardware.
A drop is when a sprint run, other new version of an existing knife, or an all together new knife drops and becomes available for purchase. Drop may also refer to Drop.com, formerly known as MassDrop.
The exchange is the Knife Exchange which is one of the forums here.
Here's a link to the For Sale by Individuals categories at the Exchange. Anyone can buy but you need a Gold Membership as a minimum to sell. I've bought the vast majority of my knives there as the prices are generally less than new (except for rare or hard-to-find pieces and some head-scratchers) and most sellers are frank and honest about the condition of their offerings.

^What he said! Chazzy (and Josiah) said it all, perfectly Thanks for the info!
No worries at all Sean I believe Chazzy came through for you and answered #2 above. For #1, check your profile page for that link. Have a great evening my friendhaha yep, saw them both and now spending more time on here!
2 questions for you and I'll stop pestering you.
1. do you have the link for the kershaw carbon fiber sprint run you got? Would like to look at the post to get an idea of how it went.
2. I can't figure out how to send messages to people on this site, usually its super easy so I must be missing something.., which is why I posted here instead of just asking you privately.
Regards,
