Spyderco Forums

I think I figured out what good ergonomics were the first time I held a Manix 2.

I would love to see a smaller Manix the more Manixes the better but i would want it not to small. Minimum it would need to be delica size.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Would also love to see a reissue of the Sage 3. It's probably the closest thing to a mini Manix.

Only if you want a knife that is superior in every way to the Para3.

Maybe a Chaparral plus at 3.25" and a Chaparral XL at 3.50"+? Everybody happy.

Does the blade need to be 3.5"? What if blade length was 3 1/8th or 3 1/4? Seems more proportionate to me.


I respect your opinion, but to me personally whenever dreaming of a Chap XL it has been about a significantly larger version in the very popular Manix, PM2, Endela, Stretch... blade size ...

Only on a Kershaw once, never a Spyderco thank goodness.

I don't sell guns or knives. My kids will get em when I kick the bucket.

Blue locktite has always worked for me.

13 knife carry rotation. I like variety and to mix it up. So I don't have to sharpen frequently, but do strop often. I just go by feel as to when it's time.

Allen Putman's jade G10 with Rit daffodil yellow.

Manix M390

Chaparral, Lil Native, or Dragonfly.

I have always felt like BD1N was just a little underrated. Edge retention is subjective for me as my EDC rotates between 14 Spydies, but it is a VERY easy steel to work with and, in my experience, very corrosion resistant. Takes a nice edge too. That said, I'd probably still lean towards the SPY27 ...

Welcome aboard from Tomball, TX.

I was very late to the Wharncliffe party as well. The Wharny Delica changed all that. Has become one of my favorite EDCs.

Love micarta! Especially denim micarta!

Manix 2, made for my hand.

2023 will be the year of custom scales. Have 5 or 6 already on the list.
