Spyderco Forums

Carrying the KW 204p Manix since I’m spending thanksgiving in the hometown of Carpenter Steel.

I’m just as anxious as you to get my hands on it, but we probably won’t get much an answer other than “when it’s ready.”

Can we discuss religion next? Who wants to go first?

You sir, win the thread.

surprised the shaman salt beat the manix xl salt.

Surprised and saddened. I've been waiting patiently for both Manix models.

Does it only happen on your 15V model or is it happening on your S30V model as well?

Just my 15v. My s30v sits significantly lower, as do my FRN and slipit Lil Natives.

Anyone else having any QC issues with the Lil Native Mid Backlock in 15v? I’m on my second one where the tip catches my finger when closed. The owner of the shop personally checked his stock after I sent the first back and this one was the best he had.

I really don’t want to post a complaint, and ...

Actually, the 50th model has been in-the-works for the past 2 years.

Here's hoping it's an ambidextrous lock.

Backlock Lil Native 15v is on the way! Glad to see the G-10 version brought back for a sprint run. Hopefully, it's the first of many.

How lazy we are! Is it perhaps autumn's fault?

Unfortunately, I don’t believe that anyone else here shares your passion for this project. Perhaps it’s best to just use this thread as your own archive rather than mock other forum members for not responding.

I’ve only bought two Chinese Spydercos since 2015: a Bow River and a G-10 Bug.

The Bow River was a gift for my son, and was the one he wanted when I took him to a knife shop. I actually tried to talk him out of it, but it’s the one that most appealed to him visually.

The Bug was a novelty I’d ...

As a lefty would love to see more if economic . Must say there are many PM2s still available in CPM S30V so demand is an issue . I don’t think PM2 righty blades are interchangeable to a lefty set up . MG2

They aren't interchangeable unfortunately. We would need dedicated lefty blades.

Or maybe they could just manufacure lefty blades that the owner could swap into their existing lefty handles.

With the new blades, Spyderco would also need to manufacture LH liners and LH scales. You'd be able to retain your RH clip, screws, and spacers.

I think he means replacing just ...

Good afternoon all. I'm carrying my Lefty PM2 in S45VN and got to thinking how nice it would be to see some sprints of this model in some of the other steels that the PM2 has received over the years. Any of my fellow leftys interested in 15v, Cruwear, s90v, SPY27 or dare I dream, Magnacut?

I know ...

This is the first Reveal in a very long time that has nothing that interests me. I may grab the 15v Chief if it shows up when I've got cash to burn.

I'm hoping all these new G-10 Salt models don't beat the previously-announced Manix and Manix XL G-10 Salts to market.

Blackout Manix Salt
Blackout Manix XL Salt
15v Backlock Lil Native
Charisma
PE Magnacut Native 5 Salt (waiting for a restock)

Warrior in LC200N would be a nice sprint (chose it over Magnacut due to availability in Seki).

This is why I prefer locks with a close bias, such as Back Locks and Ball Bearing Locks.

I’m definitely interested, but I’m also waiting for the PE Lightweight Native 5 Salt to show up again. I missed the first batch.

If I ever get to Colorado…

Crucarta Native 5 and Metropolitan (now with confirmed proper tip seating) are on their way!
