Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Seeing new productions as paramilitary 3, and chief, I'm pretty sure and I hope, they would go out with a Military 2 lightweight, linerless comp lock FRN and BD1N steel and not last with an affordable price. I'm very happy with the paramilitary 3 light version and finally I paid my bill to the comp ...

Re: Bring back this grind on the Native.

How many of ya'll remember walking into walmart and dropping a whopping $40 and change to own a Native 1 in S30V? It's one of my earliest Spyderco purchases. Never travelled overseas, but of course I remember, I was searching on line on walmart and similar, they had sometimes even less than 40 as 3...

Re: Power Lock

I guess the Spyderco back lock it's a lock type very secure and well made and enough for almost all users. About all the models I read I guess Military for obvious reason is an open back construction folder, and one closed or semi-closed with a power lock or back lock model would lose the sense of ...

Re: What is the largest/longest Spyderco with a SE

Hey Y'all, I've been poking in the Spyderco catalog looking for the largest/longest Spyderco with a 4" SE. The one I was hoping for was a Military SE but I can't seem to find one. I know a Military SE was made in the past because David has a photo of it in his SE thread. The Endura is close to...

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?

Still I don't own a Manix the blade shape it's very nice i prefer the translucent model. Maybe the PM2 it'a a more classical model? Maybe inspired from the Military? One of the best knives in the market of all the times in my opinion. For my tastes the plastic knob is not the best I would prefer the...

Re: Delica replace...

To muddy the waters a bit more, how about the Leaf Jumper? You get a similar sized knife to the Delica but with more cutting edge. I've heard good things about the handles too. I got a Lil' Temp 3 LW and I'm now a big fan of the handle forward designs that maximize cutting edge on a given blade. Th...

Thanks to all! Para 3 is on the way, when it will be delivered I will try to care and see if it's ok for me if no I would store it with other my spyderco and come back to look at delica substitute.

Yupp. Correct. Germany, place of some weird knife laws. Still, could be worse. That's why I said "if I would live..." but it might have been the wrong grammar and hence the confusion. Sorry, not a native speaker here. "If I lived in place without knife restrictions"? Jeesh, this...

Sorry Vito but the Cento 4 & Des Horn may look similar but it stops there. The cento is more heavy duty with a way better push cut grip. The Des Horn is more like an instrument for surgery than a tool for work & that is a very good thing in itself. O. Yes agree with you, centofante its good...

I think your request its without sense, its like to say a delica with endura size, as razorsharp said next military will have a stop lock, something similar to comp lock.
