Ah, gotcha. I'm not going to say I've never stripped a screw, but I usually don't have too many problems.

I put a drop of mineral oil on it and it's already considerably smoother. I toyed with the pivot screws a little, but couldn't really tell a big difference. I'm out of solvent at the moment, so as soon as I get some more I'll take it apart and clean it really well and I think it will be fine. This ...

Thanks Vivi, mine definitely does not drop like that. It is getting better, so I'm sure by the time I play with it for awhile and maybe put some mineral oil on like you said it will help.

I think the Manix2 may be a bit on the big side for me. The Native 5 is pretty much the perfect size as far as I'm concerned, and I think the Para 3 is the closest to it size wise that has something other than the lock back, no?

Wow, thanks for the responses and welcome, guys. I love that a lot of what you guys pointed out are what turned me off spyderco in the past and yet here you are praising them. I've never read about sal's design theory, but I like what I'm reading. I'll go ahead and get the one I've been eyeing, ya'l...

Hi guys, I'm seriously thinking about buying my first Spyderco and wanted to know why YOU like Spyderco knives. Even a "cheap" one like Delica is a pretty significant knife purchase for me, most of my knives are Kershaw or CRKT so I usually don't spend over $50 on a knife. So, what convinc...
