Re: Does S110V actually chip a lot or are people just not using their knives right?

I EDC my Military in S110v most days here in the Philippines. Only edge damage has been when I dropped it on a tiled floor, even then a slight bend at the very tip and a small chip just behind was a good result. I've put it through ****, the salt water environment is unforgiving but any small signs ...

Military Domination..(of my pocket). What Spydercos have surprised you to become your "go to"?

I know there are multiple threads extolling the virtues of the C36 Military but i just wanted to share my journey that has led to becoming a devotee. I have been a fixed blade/bushcrafty knife user until recently with only a couple of traditional slip joint folders. Through being a member of Bladefo...

Re: What is your Last Spydie of the year before price hikes in 2020?

I thought my last was a Military in CTS 204p, until i got shipping notification of my Maxamet PM2 preorder from Knifecenter on Friday 27th (preordered in July and pretty much wrote it off). Delivered yesterday and rounded off a good year.

Re: Are you done with 2019, Spydie wise? What do you wish for in 2020?

Well, my "last" knife of 2019 (M390 Manix 2) has been swiftly followed by 2 Military's that I've been after for a while (M4/DLC and CTS 204p). God bless the secondary market and a Merry Christmas to all 🎄

Re: BHQs translucent "natural" G10 exclusives

Not my favorite, not my least favorite. I can say that I sanded the scales on my BHQ Manix and I prefer the smooth look, I didn't polish them but took most of the texture off and if changed the appearance quite a bit.

Re: Are you done with 2019, Spydie wise? What do you wish for in 2020?

2019 was a good year, tried out some steels for the first time - Maxamet, Rex 45, S90v. Biggest bonus was trying a Military and realizing it's not too big. The DLC/M390 Manix 2 is probably my last for this year unless late night browsing and beers results in a K390 PM2! For 2020 I have enough existi...

Re: Brown M390 Manix

Ordered my DLC from DLT, shipping info within 1 hr. Not totally sold on the brown so may swap out the red scales from the 20cv version. Looking forward to this one.

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10

Received mine today, ordered friday afternoon, was shipped monday. I have the PM2 in Cruwear/smooth g10 and I am a fan of the handle material, maybe its just me but i feel the G10 on this Manix 2 feels smoother than the PM2. (I don't have the PM2 with me to compare in hand). Anyway, great steel on a...
