IIRC, Spyderco decided to stop selling serrated versions of quite a few models at about the same time they were switching to the S30V Manix 2. I'm not sure on the specifics, but there might not be a serrated S30V Manix 2. (All that is based on some pretty vague memories, though, so don't take it as ...

I'm a fan of the old style clips as well.
(OTOH, I also liked the exposed tang, which seemed to be pretty thoroughly reviled, so my opinion may not be worth much... :D )

Has this become technically (financially) feasible or will the Yojimbo 2 in S90V be significantly more expensive because of this innovation? ...or will they just modify the grind? hickster Isn't a hollow ground blade actually quite a bit easier to manufacture than a flat ground one? I know the reas...

I knew a guy that was working on a project ( pre 9/11 when we weren't as broke) to set up bases on the moon for something called helium 3. Joe Helium-3 is an isotope of Helium that is extremely rare on Earth, but potentially quite valuable as a fuel for fusion reactors because, unlike our current f...

I can't speak directly to the Delica, but I've had two Endura Waves that have come with incredibly obtuse factory bevels. (I don't have a really good way of measuring angles, but my best guess was between 55 and 60 degrees inclusive for the bevel.) If your Delica is anywhere near that bad, you won't...

If it was stated any other way, just think of the repercussions that would ensue. Chris Reeve encourages customers to take apart and clean their knives, and even sells tools specifically for that purpose. (Not trying to start a CR vs. Spyderco debate; just pointing out that another reputable compan...

Nest a steel liner in there somewhere, or use the framelock spring in the compression device? I remember reading that putting Ti and steel components next to each other is a bad idea. Ti is so much softer that they tend to gall badly, especially after the Ti develops an oxide layer. That said, I'm ...

Uhh, yeah. Given recent prices for the S90V, that's quite an accident :eeK: :D If the OP is happy with the price, it might still be my fave, though. Yeah, they've gotten pretty expensive.

List of Para 2 Variants
Sorry if this has been asked before-I've searched and not found it but that may not mean much... Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has a complete list of Para 2 Variants (including ones known to be forthcoming.) I didn't really mean to get caught up in this, but I've accidentally acquired the S90V and...

If anybody's headed to Dubai anytime soon, watch out! I lost a titanium spork there a couple of weeks ago. No problem at all with the 2 locking steel caribiners on my bag, or the SureFire 6P (both make pretty decent impact weapons), but carry anything with even a hint of a point, and you're obviousl...

I love my Military, though I am looking forward to seeing what improvements come with the 2. The only issue I've ever had with mine was using it in the desert in Kuwait.
