Spyderco Forums

Anyone following AI won’t be too surprised, but thought it was interesting what I got from CoPilot when asking for Spyderco in 15v steel. A couple examples below. All had the opening hole dead on. However color doesn’t match 15v:

Reviving this thread.

Any estimates on when these will start shipping or did I miss it?

You have not missed it.

No idea on shipping. Only Spyderco knows for sure.

Just an update on my preorder. Jamie at SMKW returned my call today so that I could reinstate my order for the Manix XL cru-carta. I questioned that my credit card hadn't been credited anything nor had I received an email. I was only aware of the situation because of this thread. She expected the cr...

I received a voicemail from SMKW as well today with the same offer. Ill be reinstating my order when they open tomorrow.

iirc at start of bf it didn't appear smkw had set their site correctly to flag all impending 2024 releases as unavailable/oos. The issue seemed to get fixed within a day or so. suspect spyderco wouldn't have greenlighted dealers discounting next year's models. would still have preferred dealer sent...

I preordered the Cruwear Manix XL and haven’t received any updates since the order. Will be very disappointed if it gets cancelled.

Did you preorder from SMKW or some other dealer like BladeHQ or KnifeCenter?

Sorry, should have specified it was SMKW on 11/22/23.

I noticed the description says FRN. Is that a typo or is FRCP replaced? Has this been discussed before? I'm assuming it's a St Nick's error, since all other Manix2 Lightweights have been FRCP and Spyderco's own listing states that it is FRCP. Thanks. Is this full-time volunteer work for you? Where ...

My mind is blown. We have this and the new GP Knives Manix LW in Rex 45. I only have the G10 one but am split between which one to get 🤣. What a time to be a Spyderco fan :) the cool thing about the rex45 version is you'll be able to dye it anything you want. I'm interested to see what folks come u...

I still stand by the reason this is priced below the standard BD1N with DLC model is this exclusive was probably commissioned a year or more ago. Meaning they locked in their prices at that time. Not really comparable to today's pricing. The Blade HQ Non-DLC M4 exclusive released in March of this y...

You know that even the BD1N Manix 2 LW costs more in the US with a coated blade? I think Manixes have pretty good prices anyway in general, but this 4V one is an amazing deal imo. And I admit I am not a steel expert, but Spydercos 4V in my Goddard is anything else but "overrated" as far a...

This thread made me go look for a Manix lw in Maxamet. Everyone is sold out. Maybe a change is coming?

.... I paid about $156 for a g10 15v manix a year ago... $135 for a lw in overrated 4v? Lol nope. You know that even the BD1N Manix 2 LW costs more in the US with a coated blade?

Looks like Price is $134.99 https://www.stnicksknives.com/products/spyderco-manix-2-lightweight-red-frn-black-cpm-4v-blade-st-nicks-knives-exclusive-c101prdbk2?_pos=8&_psq=manix+2+lightweight&_ss=e&_v=1.0 I paid about $156 for a g10 15v manix a year ago... $135 for a lw in overrated 4v?...

I generally gravitate to a PM2 or Manix 2. I have 6 of each in different steels. However, a factory second PM2 in Maxamet has the most carry and use over the last year. I have no clue why it’s a second. It has better action than any of my firsts - especially unlocking and closing without looking alm...

I’m no fan of folders for this duty. I have used and like the ESEE AGK in 1095. This year I was gifted a Hogue Extrak in M4 and like it even better. I do carry a stretch 2 as backup but never used it. I’m no surgeon and they busted through ribs without issue. Both are dull after one whitetail field ...

I feel like the Autonomy 2 is never in these sales, but DLT has a great deal on it for $169 (regularly $245):

Yes I'm in!

Been watching secondary market for a while trying to get a C95.

Not too picky - tool steel and G10 or micarta would be great.

I strongly agree with this. I’m having trouble finding the value for dollar on the Bodacious. What makes it more expensive than a Military 2? The Shaman has more processing on the handle and thicker blade stock. These seem to justify higher prices. Since I share the $200 sentiment, it’s a pass for m...
