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 ...

With an even worse Seller Rating. Though none of their Negative Feedback is from knife buyers.

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?

For those that missed out they are already up on the auction site, prices starting at $900. :party-face Oh my goodness! That is insane.

Re: Spyderco 2024 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

After reading this, I tried to remember what I paid for the OG Slysz Bowie. I can't remember, and cannot find that info in my email at this moment. If I had to guess, I'd say around $375, and that was probably circa 2015. The OG Slysz Bowie C186Ti - Stonewash Ti- PE - CTS-XHP was in production from...

Re: enuff 2!!!

Thank you, chronovore. It really does make for an easy carry, and quick access. I always carry it in the full/deeper side pocket. Then when I go to use the knife, I thumb-off the sheath into the shorter outer pocket you see in the pictures. Then, when I'm done cutting, I can easily see the sheath i...
