Update:

All who have paid so far I have shipped out your REX k2 knives today, I also paid for insurance on all the packages.
 
I like to thank all those who have paid, your REX 121 K2 knives are on their way to you and I hope you will be very happy with them.
Those who have not responded to my three requests for payment please kindly forward your payment so I can ship your REX K2 out asap fully insured. I am sorry to say I no longer have the time to ask again as I am so very busy, provided your payment is received by end of today I will have no choice but to offer the knife to the next interested collector. Thank you all for your understanding.
 
Mine arrived today (I'm in UK). Suffice to say, I do not think anyone is going to be disappointed:

Will do a review when I've got to know it better. It's beautifully put together and must have been job to grind.

Thanks, Farid, and to all those who backed this (crazy) project.

Remember, just like climbing Everest or K2, it doesn't have to make sense!

So...now that I'm in the "Guys with cool knives" club:

What are the +/- of CPM Rex 121. Obviously it is a SUPER wear resistant steel but from ANYONE's experience:
-Does it take a fine edge (yes I'm obsessed with that right now)
-How is the edge stability? Will it take a narrow angled bevel?
-I'm assuming it will rust readily. Is it similar to Aogami Super Blue for corrosion resistance?
-How tough is the steel at Rc 68-70? Will it chip easily?
-Any other things?

Thanks all...I'm very excited by all this! And yes, I think I jumped before looking here :).
 
I am interested in one of the tip up folders, but I must see if I can afford one at this time. Please message what one of the tip up folders would cost shipped to Las Vegas. If I can budget one, I'll take it and pay within the day!
 
Thanks
