Harpy SS serrated. Should be here any minute.

Manix 2 LW (translucent blue).

Sage 5 carbon fiber. Arrives today, and I'm glad I got one because that model has been discontinued.

The James Brand Folsom is my only BD1 blade, and the 'N' does seem to make a difference in blade performance. I'm on ranch property so I tend to use my knives more often and harder than I would have when I was a city slicker. The Manix 2 LW is a nice alternative to my 'ranch specific' rotation, whic...

So I did indeed hold out for the BD1N version. Bought it from Blade HQ, since I didn't trust the Amazon description. This knife came exactly as advertised. Despite it's light weight, it still very feels very capable. The translucent blue is fun, the ergonomics are great, and the BD1N blade is incred...

Rotating my two new Spydercos today - the Native 5 LW in cobalt blue, and the Manix 2 LW in translucent blue. Loving them both.

Native 5 (SPY27) arrives before Christmas…Manix 2 LW the day after.

Thanks for the responses, fellas. Sharp Guy, that's encouraging info. I'll probably hold out for the BD1N version, as I'm not in a hurry to add the Manix but I eventually want to add that knife to my Spyderco lineup. Something tells me that I'm going to love it.

PM2 Crucarta.

A popular answer, I imagine. But today my pocketknife will see some fairly heavy work, so there it is.

1) Sliverax
2) PM3 Lightweight
3) PM2 Crucarta
4) Sage 5 (CF)
5) Manix 2 LW

In no particular order, or in a different order tomorrow...

I'd like to buy the Manix 2 Lightweight on Amazon, which is at the moment selling for $113. However, it is described and pictured as having CTS-BD1 steel, not CTS-BD1N. Is this an older version of the knife? Blade HQ, KnifeCenter, etc. are selling only the CTS-BD1N version. Perhaps Amazon is blowing...

Sliverax. Again.

PM2 Micarta/Cruwear. My first day with it and I totally get why people love this knife.

Sliverax. Just like every other day for the past several weeks.

Evil D (I gather your name is David), I purchased and first used a Byrd Cara Cara with SE combo blade yesterday. It was love at first use. Although I have a few other SE blades (Benchmade Griptilian, Kershaw Blur, Boker Subcom) I've never really taken to them and use them quite infrequently. Of cour...

Bemo, it was between the Harrier and the Cara Cara. I favored the extra length of the latter for my immediate needs. But who's kidding who here? The Harrier will probably be my next purchase. Lol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just picked up my first Byrd knife. I went with the Cara Cara 2 with the combination blade. After Day 1, I have to concur with those who have been as impressed with the Byrd line as I now am. Fit and finish, build quality, opening and lock up are all spot on. Absolutely comparable to my Delica 4. In...

Sliverax. One of my all time favorites now.

I'm leaving my detent alone. It's not switchblade springy, which may turn others off, but frankly I prefer it that way. On this knife, anyway. And I definitely open it with the thumb hole far more often than with the flipper, it's just nice to have an option. The uniqueness of this knife is that it'...

Evil D: I do like the look of the knife without the flipper. It seems to accentuate the yin/yang aesthetics. But the biggest complaint about the flipper that I've read is that it gets in the way of your finger as it passes through the compression lock. And it certainly does, but I simply adjusted my...
