Spyderco Forums

I don't follow too much on social media, having dumped nearly all of it, but my main exposure is Youtube. Some channels I watch because I find them enjoyable, even if they're a commercial of sorts (ie. Knifecenter series). Or, because they're amusing or informative (Cedric and Ada, Advanced Knife Br...

S30V Endura and K390 Manbug today.

French toast this morn out of homemade challah.

I (at my current stage of life) do not have the money to be a collector and use mine. Like Mikey above, mine mostly ride in the pocket waiting for their time of use. I find a knife to be a item that is very helpful to have around, even if it is not being used constantly. My primary joy is using them...

Still getting used to the look of the clip in tip up position.

I was very resistant to accept one into my collection. The more I handled them the more they made sense, and I eventually caved. :grin-sweat I'm not the biggest benchmade fan, but they nailed this design for the EDC niche. I'd agree, slices like a dream and is not a pocket hog. My only other experi...

BladeHQ exclusive Bugout. The G10 handles are a big improvement over the grivory, imo.

Same for me today, but black blade and hardware. Still trying to figure out how I feel about the Bugout.

I've been very interested in the base Stretch XL, but I could not justify moving to the Cruwear/G10 for that price. It removes much of the appeal of the Stretch XL for me - decent price and insane size to weight ratio

It is a very nice looking knife though.

Rose Anvil also piqued my interest in Jim Green boots. Hoping to try out a pair of vellies in the coming months. Seems akin to a Clark's Desert Boot with more support (due to the shank).

Very interested in the Ark SE, but am barred from purchasing knives for the next calendar year per wife. So, ig maybe next year if some more magically appear on the interwebs.

K390 Manbug: Carry: 5th pocket/key ring since Dec '21 (all times/conditions) Climate: Cold, wet winters & Hot, muggy summers Protection: mineral oil or Vaseline every few months Use: assorted light edc tasks, food Overall very impressed so far with corrosion resistance with so little care. https...

Not my fave but... It was ~20 bucks, so it is my go-to for practicing sharpening and taking places I don't want to swallow a spydie being taken due to forgetting it is in my pocket.

K390 Manbug in the 5th pocket is nearly a constant at home or work, paired with a baby banter at work or larger folder outside of work. Interested in adding a smaller multitool.

I started out with a Tenacious and was shocked how much edge real estate the choil gobbled up when I got a Manix 2. That being said, I prefer maximized cutting edge in concept but find myself carrying the Manix or Endura more than my Tenacious. Likely due to weight and the psychology of them being &...

I was very, very close to buying this twice as the price is great, the Chief is up my alley, and I have not experienced XHP. The first time, we recently had a package stolen and I had visions of it being dropped on the door step and being snagged by someone else. The second time I did the unthinkabl...

Have a 20CV Bugout with gray G10 inbound. Very interested to get it as I've not experienced 20CV or a Bugout. Curious to give Benchmade another go as well - my only other experience with them was a 154CM Grip I got in 2015 and recently sold after alternating years of abuse and disuse.

Here is my entry: https://i.postimg.cc/MTP2WnQq/20220819-101137.jpg I wanted to convey lightweight and balance, two things that the Manix 2 Lightweight excels in. Alongside these properties, the Manix 2 pictured was my first Spyderco after a Tenacious that really pushed me down the Spyderhole (so t...
