Just looked at my manix 2 LW. Mine is dlc, but the text centering (or lack thereof) is similar to yours. It's noticeably closer to the finger choil than the spine on both sides.

I bought mine from the SFO, so I'm relatively certain it's legit.

I haven't been to Maryland in a while, but there are (or were) some localities with strict knife laws. I seem to remember Ocean city being particularly weird. It was illegal to own, sell or even DISPOSE OF an assisted opening knife. Leaving you no way to obey the law if you owned one when it went ...

I may be misremembering, but I thought it took a while before the shaman became popular. If I recall, it was a surprise when the early sprints sold out really quickly because the regular model wasn't selling very briskly. I think the shaman's high price kept some folks away but eventually the design ...

I’m assuming the MSRP will be equal to the Shaman, if not higher? I think MSRP is about $350 for the satin version. I love the looks of the knife, but that is crazy high. I stopped chasing the new steels, so S30V is fine, but not at that price. Wow. The satin model is $350 MSRP but the MAP is $245. ...

I meant the blade swap Notsurewhy mentioned might void the warranty.

Oh, I'm sure that voids the warranty.

I am still on the fence about the idea of dying handles, some people seem to have no problems, but others have had it start to rub off over time which is what I'm afraid of. I really don't want it to rub off and stain anything or look worn out as a result of it coming off. I would prefer not to Rit ...

In yellow the long thin lines of the chief really make it look like a banana. John Cleese would be proud.

With this reveal, it's like someone at Spyderco said, you know who has too much money? Vivi.

Hmmm. I want to like it, but without the contoured scales, I keep thinking it's the Caribbean's better looking but less talented younger brother.

Good God they're trying to bankrupt me. Cru carta manix 2 and XL, salt manix 2, lil native lightweight (yay thinner blade stock), native chief salts, a freaking catcherman sprint!! and a serrated chaparral. Jeez.

Oh well, I eat too much anyway.

I like that color combo. Reminds me of a maple telecaster.

I don't usually mod, but I've been wishing for a burgundy linen micarta chaparral for a while... Tempting

I don't understand why so many people love the so called multi-tools like victorinox. Who needs such nonsense like can-opener, mini wood-saw, trashy mini-scissors, and so on..? All you need today is a good little knife like a manbug or even a small opinel. We don't live in 1920 anymore. Different ...

My theory is that the lower carbide stainless steels are often used in lower quality knives, and thus people associate them with poor design, geometry, or heat treating, none of which is the fault of the actual steel composition. pretty much this. Kershaw for example has horrible steel in even the ...

Or using that code from the deals thread if it hasn’t expired yet.

I couldn't make it through the video. Was the discount good?

Where are these in stock? BladeHQ and Knife Center both still preordering.

See post above by Buddafucco.

Oh, buying direct from Spyderco? No thanks, Spyderco has worse prices than literally any retailer.

Not for those with opfocus

I'm tempted, but I’m going to wait for the spy27.

I believe they retired him early for concerns about rider safety. ...

Nobody thinks it could be the BBB model?

BBB model would be great to see.

That is not the shape of the BBB folder that is 99% sure the bodacious.

Yup. Didn't know the choil-less was called bodacious. The rider totally makes sense now.

Both have their advantages. I prefer the more secure feeling lock, ergos and lack of thumb ramp on the native, but the delica has thinner stock so it's slicier, has a tiny bit more edge and a tiny bit less weight. I like both, but I prefer the native. Several people have said they find the delica ...

I'm interested to see what handle materials they come up with. The calys are a great series of designs.
