Re: Composite Manix Sprint Update?

Well, I don't know anything about the status of the entire run, but I do know that they gave one of those knives to the first spot in line at the factory seconds sale in 2016.

So there has been at least one successfully completed.

Re: Biggest Spyderco jackpot of 2016

Same here. Factory seconds sale allowed me to buy all sorts of models that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise, and I don't feel bad using them at the prices I paid. For some reason, the Slysz Bowie and Domino were never on my radar before, but I picked them up at the sale and they've har...

Re: 100 Paces

I really need to know the name of this knife for sure, Eric said in his shot show video "hundred paceR" and since then I've seen it mentioned both ways many times!
I guess I have a touch of OCD this will bother me till I know for sure

Spyderfly handles

I saw on a facebook group someone trying to sell a spyderfly. He claimed it to have titanium handles and as far as I know they only ever made them with cast steel handles. It was not the rainbow version which I believe is still cast steel. I mentioned to him on his thread that I was pretty sure that...

Re: Ultra-Classic Sprint Run?? Which Blade Steel?

Still like the old back lock Manix. I'm not insulting the new Manix, just still enjoying the old one. In particular the Cruwear sprint Manix I like to bring up ( every chance I get) and do hope for. I would love it to have the Native upgrades but for a one off sprint there would be less engineering...

Re: Manix2, cpm cru-wear, CF scales

The one I handled at the SFO during the factory seconds sale was nice. If I'm remembering correctly, it had a slight texture to it (it didn't feel polished smooth) and looked really nice (I don't find peel ply CF to be very attractive). I probably should have played with it a bit more before handin...

SMKW showed them as in Stock on their website. But after a call they said they actually aren't. But they expect to receive some this week or next week. Here's to hoping! that's an unfortunate possibility... seeing that I have one preordered from SMKW and since it showed in stock I emailed them to s...

Re: Paramilitary 2 sprints

I would have to say the s90v/cpm154 is most collectible. It has least number produced at something like 300, and it was spydercos first run with the clad steel. followed by the s90v with 600 made ,then by the M4 with 1000+ if i remember correctly. Thats how I'd rate their collectibility as far as ju...
