Spyderco Forums

Looks to me like they have something propping the blade up by the spydie hole. I don't think its photo shop jacked.

Whatever lighting your using, its making the foliage green actually look green. I love it and haven't seen someone do that yet.

Very jealous, now thats a real tanto if I ever saw one!

I'm into the hard use style folders. Carry an SnG everyday. I do have my Case small texas toothpick with kentucky bluegrass for dress slacks, but that doesn't happen very often.

Day bow bow. chic chica chica.

That would be the ultimate grail spyderco for me.

Oh, and welcome :) .

+1

These three would be the first I would recommend. The manix 2 is my Fav :spyder: .

Welcome aboard, I want a Navaja so bad haha.

Green Lantern: Preferably Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner.

Villain: The joker hands down.

P.S. Any DC readers upset about the reboot?

Amazing work.

Happy birthady Sir Sal!

I guess its just fun to talk about and boast a knife's lock strength.

I agree it's very interesting to debate folders strength. It is human nature to have the best of the best.

However I would not take the chance of breaking a folding knife, even the strongest one. Because well, a broken knife ...

I wouldn't batton with any folder even with my striders. With that being said, If you are looking for a hard use spyderco. Look at any incarnation of the manix or manix 2, superleaf, gayle bradley, or wait for the Tuff to be released.

The toughest out of those choices would be the gayle bradley imo ...

soonerstateknives lists one. I have purchased from them before, great company.

I! :spyder:

I've been wanting one of these, thanks for the pics.

As I said earlier, I don't find myself using the choils. But I love having the option there. Don't get rid of the choils sal!

Thank you for the response Mongatu! I've never played with a spyderco paramilitary 2, but I got the chance to flip open an endura a few times, and this definitely seems a lot harder to open and a lot less smooth. Maybe I'm just not used to it, but there might be a problem.

I uploaded a youtube ...

Mine was Almost impossible to open when i first got it. I found there to be a tolerance issue with mine. If you don't already know the para 2 uses a pivot bushing system to give 0 friction opening. The steel liners tighten onto the pivot instead of the blade tang.

Wow, i must say...winning. Looks great.

I never use the choils on my spyderco's. Like in that rock salt picture above, I really am not comfortable with my thumb positioned behind my pointer finger. There is a lot less control for me and less power. Also the bottom forward choils that spyderco tends to create are too small for thick ...
