... Lock is big problem. I think the strong lock actually is a big plus on the Manix, way better than for example an axxis lock. The CBBL keeps the knife securely closed in pocket. I could imagine that it just takes a little time of getting used to and "training" till you find the CBBL ea...

Great advice! Thank you all. Soooo a LW LilNative. ;) Yes, the lightweight Lil Native changes pretty much everything with this platform for me personally...from "not interested at all" to "really worth a consideration" due to the thinner blade, lighter weight and FRN... Still: S...

I love the dyad plus marlinspike idea. And any salt dyad I would find quite useful. If this ever came to life, I'd love a variant with 1.) comboedge blade, 2.) saw and 3.) a good awl (instead of the Marlin spike) - would almost make for an outdoor-focussed Spyderco multitool... very useful in my op...

Welcome lemontwist, Many good suggestions already, here my random thoughts: - For fishing a Salt model obviously would be a good choice indeed, and here the Salt 2 ("small") and the Pacific Salt ("large") are affordable, great options. I´d go with the LC200N (green handles) rathe...

I'd buy one in a heartbeat. No frn versions though. Any steel would do As said: I totally get the appeal of a heavy, linered G10 Manix XL with the superior cutting power of SE!! But wouldn´t a lightweight FRCP version be great too? Should have about Endura weight, and going by the Manix 2 LW this h...

The rumored lightweight backlock Caribbean continues to be my dream knife. I hope we see one eventually!

Could be mine too and I hope so too!

With all of the new salts coming out I can’t help but imagine what a Pacific Salt 3 could look like… maybe it can have Black and Green scales like the Magnacut Pm2 or Caribbean but with a Magnacut blade. One could dream The siren in an frn configuration that is black and green would also be really ...

It’s hard to know what they mean when writing this, so I’ll refrain from guessing. I’m very surprised they have another batch on the way though. While I have arrangements in place to acquire one, it would be really awesome if a few more of these trickled out to European dealers before all stock is ...

Tried to give my general answer early on in this thread (https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1784013#p1784013), all shaped around the fact that my personal "single best configuration" just has to feature a serrated blade. When it comes to PE though out of all Spydies I own and owned...

I’d definitely buy one! No lightweight, Gray G-10, FFG Cru-wear with the small serrated scallops. There is no lightweight Manix XL anyway... and as much as I´d like to see one (a lightweight XL), I totally get that the feel in hand and use should be amazing with the heavy, solid G10 liner version a...

After a long Journey of trying tons of knives, I eventually ended with the Shaman for my grail knife. It is imo the best folding knife ever produced. The ergonomics are outstanding, the whole knife is very refined, it is ment to be a serious user. Also, it is a beautiful knife. Not too heavy but ve...

death-bringah , I don´t have a Catcherman yet (but actually one ordered and on its way) so I can´t try, but unfortunately (in this case) I am sure it can be flicked open, just like Nick reported. In my experience pretty much any Spyderco can, if one is used to and likes to open a folder that way (l...

But that said: We don't even have the very popular "regular" Manix 2 in (ffg) SE yet, just a disco'ed hollow grind version... (https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1783318#p1783318) 😂 I’d buy one of those too! I’m not advocating of one over the other, I just think the XL would reall...

Sure, this would be cool and I'd definitely go for SE with the Manix XL over PE (well, I'd do that with almost any Spyderco...). But that said: We don't even have the very popular "regular" Manix 2 in (ffg) SE yet, just a disco'ed hollow grind version... (https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtop...

the Caribbean really works for me . MG2

^This x2. Criminally underrated knife in the line up. I don't even need the salt rated aspect of it. I'd still fanboy for the design if it was just S30v and black g10.

This, but with a backlock (or linerlock) ,would be so great.

Perhaps the blade is hitting the thong/lanyard hole FRN tube when closed.

Ah, thanks, that could be what they mean!

But then they are actually confunding the Catcherman with the Stretch XL (non LW) or something like that... the Catcherman does not have a lanyard hole tube...

Ordered a Catcherman sprint from Coutellerie Tourangelle (European online dealer, so far only good experiences): Since the knife did not arrive at "no later than May 14" as announced, I asked them what´s going on: Their reply (exact quote): "Actually C17 [Catcherman] that we have in s...

Tough question... From a practical/functional point of view for me the "best configuration" has to feature FRN, a backlock, an ffg blade with a pointy, but not TOO delicate tip and a long and of course "non aggressive" serrated edge... steel a not too hard but rather quick and ea...

Post a pic. You could be able to bend it out like already noted. It can also be ground/sharpened out if needed. Hard to guess what the best fix is without seeing it.

@Stid229 here viewtopic.php?p=1332284#p1332284 is a good way how to post pics.
