Just got caught up on this thread. Loved reading it and living vicariously through OB. One of the smoothest knives I own is the Para-2, and I've decided it was time to get a new knife that rivals it's buttery feel. The Sage2 is what I've come up with. I've always wanted a sebenza and would love a kn...

Oh I'm definitely buying more for not in the office... I have a "to buy" list going as we speak. Anyone else do that? Spreadsheet style with best vendor/prices? As far as the CF on the sage 1, I think I may have misled in my OP. I don't plan on using my knife at work. I was more trying to ...

Thanks so much for all the responses. I was researching the Caly and seem to continually get reports of gritty action. Not sure how true it is, but all I hear about the sage line is how smooth it is. I've heard quite a few people recommend the sage 1, but not too many for the sage 2 or 3. Any stand ...

Similar Quality Para2

OK so looking for some help here picking out my next spyderco. Don't care how much it costs. I currently have a delica and endura in FFG, tenacious, native, and para2. The para2 was my most recent purchase and I'm blown away by the quality. The detent is perfect for me, and the knife opens just sooo...

The transparent blue manix is supposed to be full production so you won't need to jump all over it to get one. I'm holding off buying a manix myself because I want that translucent one. Checking the forum for news is a great way, but I also like checking out youtube for blade and shotshow coverage. ...

GPKnives originally had an estimated date of 5/1 and as that just passed it has been updated to 6/15. So who the **** knows. My preorder has been in since December and I'm thinking about canceling it.

Topic: Delica with exotic steels?
Replies: 10

I could be in the minority, but I think the large appeal of the delica to me is how much of a value it is at its cost. Driving this up for an exotic steel would put the delica up against quite a few other knives that I would probably consider before getting the delica if I only needed 1 or 2 blades....

Grand Prarie has an estimated date of 5/1. I pre-ordered mine in January and I'm definitely getting antsy.

I was looking for an update and found that it may be in stock. I don't feel like canceling my pre-order so feel free to check out osogrande and see if it's actually in stock.

I had to open something in a car with one of my EDC knives and foolishly put it on my lap rather than back in my pocket. When I got out of the car the knife fell out into 5 feet of snow without me realizing until about an hour later. I spent an hour shoveling snow and finally gave up. A month later ...

Goodluck on your choices. Don't worry, you'll have all 5 that you listed within the next year anyways. Spyderco is addictive! I say you should get the endura FFG. As your collection grows, black gets boring. Then I would say either the Para2 or the manix. I recently got the para2 in digicam and I ca...

I pre-ordered it from Knife Center but it's still listed as a preorder only. I even got an e-mail at the end of February saying that my order should ship within 5 to 7 business days if not sooner. But I'm pretty sure that's just an automatic e-mail that goes out to everyone that places an order. I t...

Any idea when translucent blue manix comes out?

I pre-ordered this beauty from KC a while ago and am impatiently awaiting an e-mail notifying me it's shipped. Does anyone have any idea on when this could happen? I would take speculation at this point because I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet that talks about when it will come out. Tha...

Steve - The Native 5 looks awesome in G10 but what about the fluted titanium?? I was amazed when I first saw it.

Too many choices!!!
