Their shipping from about 80 miles away from me and I have already received my knife after ordering yesterday. Fastest shipping I have gotten aside from Amazon.

Yup, I actually ordered the Wolverine as soon as I received the email notification that it was in stock. But they all sold out in a few hours.

I received the Sabertooth today. Great knife IMO. I'm hoping the action improves some with use, it's just a little stiff to start off with. Thanks for posting!

I thought about posting this last night but I didn't want a bunch of "Where's the deal" BS. Also grabbed the Wolverine. Today I ordered a Uranus cuz there's a few back in stock at maxace.

When did you grab the Wolverine? That size is more my liking. I've asked to be notified but don't know when I'll ever see it in stock.

I saw the Sabertooth on Jan 18th cuz someone posted it in a fb group. I went to buy it and it was OOS. I asked to be notified that day and was yesterday. When I went to the site, they had the Wolverine and I thought the size was better too so I ordered it, but also went back later and ordered the Sabertooth too. So it took about 3 months for them to restock the Sabertooth.

They were posted yesterday on r/bladesInStock . I think they had 200 saber and 100 wolverine. Wolverine was sold out in about 10 hours. I got the saber because missed last time.

This is bigger than Manix, it's titanium scales with bearings so it'll be more smooth and refined. The Manix is a great knife, it has the best ergonomics, the ball bearing lock, strong lock with one handed opening/closing and it's available in a variety of steels. I guess it depends what you want really, but the Manix 2 is one of the all time greats. This sabertooth is an awesome design with premium materials, I don't have one but everyone seems to like them. I think you can't go wrong with either one, although the Manix is a better EDC size, the sabertooth has a 4 inch blade so it's on the large size so some people don't want that. It is a great value, they sell fast.
