Manix 2 Tanto? Wharncliffe?

Seems like a platform with options.

Re: Yojimbo 2 Lightweight

Hey, thanks for the info, Mike.

You designed and manifested an absolutely fantastic knife in the Yojimbo 2.

Well done.

Re: Spyderco Online Factory Seconds Sale!

I need to be real here. What we saw with this sale, was not a serious way to do this kind of business. I (we) appreciate it, and the opportunity to buy these seconds online. It slipped by, and kind of worked in the past. But something changed this time; perhaps a larger audience, greater demand, idk...

Re: Yojimbo 2 Lightweight

The same molds can be used for varying colors of FRN, correct?

That would allow for more modestly priced trainers also.

Yojimbo 2 Lightweight

Has this been considered / discussed?

A lightweight Yojimbo / Yojumbo?

I would pre-order 2 of each the day they were announced.

Would the compression lock cause issues in FRN in this handle shape?

Anyone else want one?

Re: St. Nick’s Exclusive red and black Goddard!

I may buy two more of these. Wow. So thin. So light. I have no salt knifes yet, but the first thing I thought was to carry this in light shorts. 4V may dissuade that, but at $125, who knows.

Well done, Spyderco / St. Knicks.

Re: Wharnie Endura K390. Where is the love?

Thanks Fireman. I figured as much. I am hoping to discover whether or not a flat-ground wharncliffe Endura 4 blade can be sold confidently with an Emerson opener design, as the saber-ground versions are. If not, I wonder if the reason is, because it would terminally weaken the blade, or otherwise ma...

Re: Wharnie Endura K390. Where is the love?

Is it possible to add the Emerson opener (wave) to a flat ground Endura 4 Wharncliffe?

Sign me up for 5 of them, if so.

Re: thoughts and observations on a yojimbo with 5x5 pickpocket

I carry this same setup, not for self-defense, but because of the functionality of the 5x5 attachment allowing for one-handed deployment while I am holding something up in the air with my off hand, and the Yojimbo tip's ability to cut adhesive films like a razor knife. It works great, but requires a...

Re: Sal / Mike J / blademakers, a quick question...

Thanks!

I have the 5x5 wave tool for my edc Yojimbo 2. Love it. I also have plenty of zip ties.

I am wondering most about the physics of the design. I.E. would it have to be saber-ground? Would the blade be strong enough to sell to consumers safely, etc?.

Sal / Mike J / blademakers, a quick question...

My dream folder is an Endura / Endela 4, wharncliffe, with Emerson opener (wave). In a perfect dream world, K390. Is this physically possible / tough enough (won't snap too easily) for the consumer market? Mike J, Would this concept suit MBS use scenarios? I am sure you are all busy, thanks for your...

Re: Ranking Sprint Runs? Recent & Past models?

Just sitting around bored here in 2025 and decided to bump this old thread. I am torn between the Caly Super Blue, the C60, and the Titanium Ikuchi in Magnacut.

As for exclusives, nothing can top the frenzied madness of the Lum Tanto drop in Rex 121 and marbled carbon fiber.

Re: High-entropy alloys?

My understanding is that the process has huge implied potential, but no successful use-case at scale as of today, due to extremely high cost of development, and little known capital investment. It is largely stuck in academia, as far is has been publicly disclosed.

Re: How About a Kiridashi

Wow. I had never seen a kiridashi. I would buy a folder in that arrangement the day it was released. That straight blade angled in that manner would be quite useful for certain tasks I frequently encounter in which bellied blades struggle. I carry a Yojimbo 2, which is fantastic, but there are times...

Re: Tool marks on clip for some new knives

Mrj, the spiders on the clips pic you posted look pretty much the same. Did you look at the pic linked to by Cptwiggum in the first post? That was what my question was in reference to. The differences are significant.
