There's the link for those of us that aren't on a mobile device. I don't own a Manix 2 so I can't verify this for sure. However, I would have to imagine that it's not covered by warranty since the knife was taken apart

I wouldn't get this. I have a hard time bringing myself to spend money on a sprint run solely based on steel and handle color. After that I have a hard time using said sprint run. There's far too many production knives that I'd rather be spending my money on. Maybe if there was an economic sprint ru...

Would a smaller moonglow knife actually function properly in these sorts of scenarios? I'm not sure about you guys but I always have my keys in my pocket when I go out. From my limited experience with moonglow knives I would think that they'd be completely dark when you need it since they don't get ...

If it's the standard Spyderco clip that is used on the current gen Enduras, Delicas, Para Military 2s than I'll be very happy with Spyderco. I wasn't fond of the barrel bolt clips. The FRN would easily deform if the clip ever caught on something. I also thought that the clip didn't retain as tightly...

It's an informative article that covers the basics but I feel that I'm none the wiser. First off, I have never even looked at the diving knife market so my knowledge is very likely FAR below your average reader haha. After reading the article I still don't know what tipped it off as to being a fake....

Wow! If this is true it is definitely a deal breaker for me. The Sage I is without a doubt a great knife ergonomically, functionally, and aesthetically. However, I'm not in the position to pay carbon fiber prices for a G-10 knife (with a CF laminate). I'll reserve my judgment until a Spyderco repres...

Also if you could get ahold of a new clip before you sell it I think you will have a much better turn out. It would just be easier on the eyes, i know that clip probably works perfect but I think it would help out quite a bit to have a nice new all black one. I was considering it. I don't think the...

Price Check: Spyderco Captain?
Hello forumites, I recently came across this knife on the second hand market and bought it as an impulse purchase. I was wondering if you guys could tell me how much it's worth. The blade is in GREAT condition (as detailed in the photos) with a couple of minor scratches that can only be seen in the ...

Not the most impressive collection of Spyderco knives (or any knives for that matter haha) but this is what I use. It's economical and makes selecting an EDC nice and simple. If I recall correctly I got it at Target or Walmart for $10-15. Boxes are stored in the compartments underneath. http://img94...

Just a suggestion: Educate the end line users as well. Include a section on commonly found counterfeits (perhaps under Edge-U-Cation?). Ideally, it'd be a wiki-style user maintained collection of knowledge (regarding counterfeits). I think the forum users here have more than demonstrated that they'r...

Any idea what it might be worth? Unfortunately, I think you're late. Several months ago you could have gotten ~$150-200 for it (assuming it comes with the box). At their peak, the dodos have gone for $300-400. Now that the dodo sprint has been announced officially and pre-orders are being taken, I ...

I suppose I am about to make this even more confusing by asking: Which FRN pattern would it have? The volcano grip or G-10 imitation? If we're going for lightweight then it'd have to have the G-10 imitation FRN, wire clip, and no nested liners (similar to the new lightweight UKPKs). That's a knife t...

Wow, did you flat grind that thing yourself? What did you use? The name of the tool escapes me right now but it was basically a power drill equipped with a diamond coated dremel bit, rested the blade against a block of wood, and used lower RPMs to try to prevent blade warp. It took a long time thou...

The only Spyderco I've bought new had various fit and finish issues. It later developed a fair amount of blade play up/down due to my use. I also feel the lock jump up a bit when I cut through harder materials (mostly kitchen tasks like cutting apples, yams. Those are what come to mind). I believe t...

Well, there hasn't been an abundant amount of metal taken off the blade and the tip is still there. I also assume you're sharpening it for her. If anything, I'd call that a great user knife despite your girlfriend's tendency to use the wrong tool for the job. Plus, you haven't seen mine: http://img8...
