It's a one of kind design
I kind of figured. I might have to see if I can make some of my own. Wood, or epoxy. The hard part will be milling out for the liners. With Epoxy, I can make a mold. Wood would be a lot of back and forth getting a nice tight fit.

Mantra 3 - Custom Scales?

Hey all,

I see that the Mantra 3 is not a really popular model, but is there another knife that has scales that would fit it?

I'd love some copper scales if I could get some.

Re: that sal is a stand up guy

Hope your son's ok. My son broke his arm the same way when he was 2. (4 years later, I have a good reason to ask him not to jump on the bed or couch). He's just fine now. Cast was on for 7 weeks, and he's good as new. Hopefully your son will have the same experience. As for the gift, that is an awes...

Re: Street Beat Discussion

This looks like a REALLY nice fixed blade for EDC. Better steel, Micarta handle and good size. I just wish in Michigan, at least, Fixed blades wheren't treated as firearms, and if your shirt covers it, it is considered concealed. I could see ditching a folding knife for a good fixed blade. https://...

2 things. Cutting the ends off of strawberries, and opening my sons new toy.

Wow is this Mantra 3 slicey. I wasnt expecting it to cut SO well.

Re: Interest in Front Flipper by Spyderco?

I like the cone better than the ball. I tried last night, with a sanding cone, but it didnt make much of a difference. Probably too soft, for the hardened steel. I'll look for one of these. 1/16" right? Sorry I just saw this. I'm not exactly sure about the size. It came in a set of dental labo...

Re: Interest in Front Flipper by Spyderco?

I just got a Mantra 3 yesterday. How did you go about making the Detent better? Dremel tool like in the video on YouTube, or a different method? I want to do this in the coming weeks, and just looking at the different ways to go about it. This what I've been using. I've done a few this way and it's...

Re: Interest in Front Flipper by Spyderco?

Ric, Good point! I had to make my detent harder on the Sliverax, but gem of a knife! Somewhat like a reverse Smock, but I love the looks of the Shamwari. It has just the smallest profusion above the pivot to give it the leverage to be a front flipper. And looks elegant when open! Hamilton I just go...

Re: What’s next after getting the G-10 Tenacious?

I sent in my Tenacious Green G-10 with Black blade to Spyderco, because when I got it, the blade was touching the liner. I tried to straighten it, but couldnt. They said I will get a credit for it, to use in their store. In the meantime, I already got a Mantra 3. Liking it in the 12 hours I've had i...

Re: Why are so many people concerned with perfect blade centering?

I got a uncentered tenacious SE, I finally found out why after using a metal ruler on the blade, that it was at least 2mm-3mm off centre because it was bent to the left. I am having the same issue with my Tenacious, Green G10, with Black blade. The blade is pushed all the way to the non locking sid...
