Spyderco Forums

Picked up a Manbug Leaf at BLADE this year and I've been using it as a work EDC. It has performed just fine for all my usual hospital office cutting jobs. My only adjustment is getting used to no pocketclip - I have to pay attention when I pull my keys out of my pocket that it's not tangled up in ...

Didn't the patent for the lock end in 2023? Maybe the market wants more compression style button locks vs ball cage and axis style?

But I would prob buy a 2.8" blade micro manix

Wondering why the ball cage lock is only used in the Manix 2? If Spyderco holds the patent, why not maximize before it becomes a free for all like the Axis lock and now soon to be Compression lock?

Well after my wife snatched the zdp dragonfly I wanted to get myself a micro carry. I am surprised the cutting edge is practically as big as the dragonfly 2. I added the lanyard and Prometheus delrin keychain snap just to add some grip options.

The curved drop point was what prevented me from ...

The victorinox is the Rambler for size comparison

Well after my wife snatched the zdp dragonfly I wanted to get myself a micro carry. This thread reminded me the manbug does have a non drop point version. And I am surprised the cutting edge is practically as big as the dragonfly 2. I added the lanyard and Prometheus delrin keychain snap just to add ...

Thx all for sharing your own photos and stories. I have owned a long list of knives and have been on a purge. I literally have two blades. This dragonfly and a victorinox climber. I plan to give the df to wife. And use the climber as my Edc tool box.

But I am looking at a few options to expand the ...

that lil native in 15v rose my eyebrows the most.

Lil Native Backlock returns as a 15v sprint!!!

Also very interested in the PlainEdge MagnaMax mule and the Fatcarbon Chap.

The Metropolitan is a maybe and after my experience with the NAND, I’ll wait on the COBOL until I can handle it.

Do I ...

Reviving this old OLD thread. Most wrists and hands will fail before most locks.

Any ETA on Native 5 LW in 15V?

Looks like you only sharpened 1 time. I hope my k390 I just bought holds up as well. If you are thinking same size consider lil native.


I prob have sharpened three to four times a yr at most. But also maintain weekly on a strop. I am thinking a little longer like 3". Had a delica and para 3 and ...

:bug-red-white I don't post much but just wanted to share after 11 yrs that this Dragonfly 2 has done majority of the package/box cutting in our household. It has also been a main carry for when I want a locking knife that vanishes in pocket or waist band for shorts.

The ZDP is easy enough to ...

Just got mine in the mail today. It's a slicer!

I am not worried. It is Spyderco! Besides my Salt 2 wharncliffe in LC200N is serving edc duties like a champ!

Thx for engaging. I will try to email this thread to Eric Glesser.

Any shot we will see an updated Schempp Rock Salt in Magnacut? I am losing hope finding a pre owned Rock Salt or even VG10 version.

Please contact me if you are interested in selling your Swick 2.

Well i just put my foot in my mouth. Just ordered the Dragonfly again in FRN.

Hi there. I love my para-military 2. Do they make this knife in a smaller version with compression lock, g10 handle, and s30v w/full flat grind?

Now the lock lug is still at the 50% position, it doesn't move. It's the same with my other titanium framelocks, after the break in, no movement.

Glad to hear a couple positive long term outcomes.
