Re: My thoughts on the Native Chief LW

Thank you for the great review, zhyla :bug-red-white I am with you all of the way, when you mention - "My observation/complaint is that on a knife this size the unused handle length scales up to something significant." I can say the same thing for the Manix 2 XL. I am just not the target m...

Re: Finally got a G-10 Manix

Are you talking about the pivot or the lock? On almost every Manix I have, I've chopped the spring to reduce preload. One could argue that it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but it makes me happy so I do it. Lock is big problem. I have been blessed to have been able to handle all of the Man...

Re: Crucarta Manix 2

I am interested in finding out about the liners as well :thinking The Manix 2 BURL S90V Sprint RUN (C101MGBRBBK2) did not have skeletonized liners. :bug-red-white Can't see skele liners in this photo... https://www.gpknives.com/media/catalog/product/cache/339f82189d9eed21c435d2b59225dacd/c/1/c101mp...

Re: Anticipation of: CPM REX T15 in MT34

Did anyone have their T15 Mule poked, to find out how hard it was? :thinking This is quoted from the MT34P - CPM REX T15 Mule Team Dropping Soon Thread; page 5: I just received them today. I got the hardness for them HRC66, and factory edge quality is so good. I will order more soon. That has been ...

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

In my book, it's a top three Spyderco of all time, that was not designed by Sal or Eric. :bug-red-white

It's a lifetime keeper! :cheap-sunglasses

Early on too, I bought a bright red backspacer from Alistair directly, and that had it looking like it always should have, to me.

Re: CBBL vertical blade-play/lock-rock

I've got a Manix 2, one of the 15V BBB sprint runs. I noticed that it has some vertical blade-play/lock-rock, and I can't figure out why. I have thoroughly cleaned it out and everything, but it doesn't seem to go away. I noticed that if I press the cage forward, it tightens up, so that's what made ...

Re: Fake Manix 2 LWs on Ebay?

The madness continues . . . The good news is, that the 'Feedback' section for this Seller is letting potential Buyers know what is going on, and this Seller has been quickly knocked back to a 91.7% Rating, which is a pretty poor reflection in the eBay community. https://www.ebay.com/itm/176249667403?
