Re: BHQ Manix in M390

I do love the LW as well. No one will get any arguments from me, for those offerings. I just know that this one is in the pipeline, and due this year. I look forward to them. We should have an orange LW in S90V and DLC, from Cutlery Shoppe sometime soon as well. I wonder if, or how long it will be. ...

Re: BHQ Manix in M390

I just heard from a little bird, last night. That these two models (Satin, DLC) have moved from a Summer release, to the Fall. So that may explain their BHQ/GP Knives page disappearance. Something about Sal wanting to take some extra time, to make sure that this will be the best M390 to ever Rock th...

Re: High HRC is not equal high wear resistance

For the sake of calibrating... the people driving the hrc conversation are all specifically repeating that hrc is only one contributing predictor of performance. We’ve been repeating this every time we’ve talked about it. I can confirm this. And I really value the measurements that are done, cut te...

[/quote]That's awesome you've got convenient access to that machine. Do you happen to own any H1? I think it would be interesting to test out PE and SE and see if there is any difference.[/quote]

No H1. Sorry Vivi.

Re: "HRC as advertised." Who is accurately listing HRC?

As some have said here earlier. HRC, is not the be-all end-all. But it is a piece of the puzzle. Some who ask for it, or see that number. Might not know how to fully process it from there. So many variables. But if we do get an HRC range, from a manufacturer. Say 58-60, and the blade ends up scoring...

Re: Emphasis

Theres definately some Native ancestry in there. Maybe it just the lack of a thumb ramp? I’m not unhappy with a liner lock on this one or liner locks in general really if they have a thick liner and steep lock face for longevity. I would have loved to see this in bd1n or something. I wonder if it’s...

Re: Emphasis

This model, I think, is the best looking one to come out of the Amsterdam meet. I think it is too, p_atrick. You have great taste my Man! :D It's very Sliverax-like also, I'd say. It's hard to find this kind of blade length, in a G10 Spyderco it seems. Plus, the design, deep-carry wire clip, and th...

Thanks for starting this thread, Tims. I come back here and poke my head in the door, from time to time. Checking to see if there is any new news about it. I've been following this knife pretty closely, since the 2019 Amsterdam meetup. This Emphasis, trips all of my triggers. I too of course, would ...

Re: Para 3 lightweight

I've participated in, and have read all of this thread, as far as I can tell, and have seen no mention of the printing on this blade yet. Has anyone else here noticed that it's different? Has Spyderco mentioned this publicly, somewhere, and I have just missed it? I get at least 2 Spyderco knives a m...

Re: Para 3 lightweight

For those of you who have not seen it check out the latest Spyderco Byte. There is a great article on the Para 3 lightweight and injection molded technology and handles as well. Well worth the read. You can get it on the Spyderco website. https://mailchi.mp/spyderco/spyderco-byte-april-2019?e=d21d6...

Re: Spyderco 2019 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Who's releasing the Manix 2 in M390!? It popped up on GPKnives coming soon section. Not sure yet if it's a distributor or dealer exclusive. I called GP Knives about this today. I was told, 'about' a 3 to 6 month wait yet. For the Manix 2 M390 Black DLC Blade Earth Brown G-10 Limited Run (USA) and t...
