Spyderco Forums

Thank you for all the information guys. I sure do appreciate it. PS SAL if you get around to reading this thread I think a few of us including myself would really like to know why you chose to run with a 2" blade on the Chicago. And perhaps you could tease us with some sprint tun maybes or nevers? :D

I am not that familiar with this line from Spyderco. Somebody want to answer a few quick questions and help me out? -Is the Chicago considered to be in the same line with the Cat? -If these two knives are part of the same line then are there any others? -Has there been any Sprint runs done on ether ...

I'm submitting a photo of the ultra light manix 2....this is a prize knife from last year and I took this photo earlier today in the Lost Creek wilderness inside the Pikes national forest. I use this knife heavily and can't really describe how great it is, truly a model I had to experience to appre...

I put these on my manix 2 and they have brought this knife to a new level. I now have my favorite knife ever.the handling grippage.so comfortable.they are worth every penny from carbon grips.I got another pair for my sprint manix2 with carpenter steel going to make that knife priceless. Pictures or...

I'm in. My fav is CTS-BD1 by a large margin. It's just perfect for me in every way.

Spyderco Manix 2 Translucent Black

Although I would not recommend just going with a folder. Get yourself a fixed blade.

All locks will wear out in time...... Under normal use it's more than strong enough and will last a life time. Various things will speed up wear such as constant flicking and other abuse of the knives. Bottom line is if a knife is a flip toy the lock will wear out faster than one that isn't... Are ...

I keep all my spydercos at my local Gringotts bank. Vault #47

Here are some crappy pics of mine for comparison.

I don't remember the Q saying 'blade' on it. A red flag might also go up do to it not having a box and still marked as "new".

What swiss army knife is that? I want it!

My first spyderco was a persistence. My last spyderco was a Manix 2 translucent black. Over time I have been surprised to find that all my spydercos excel at pretty much everything I use them for. I have yet to have one brake or snap off a tip. I am always amazed at how much knife you get for the mo...

It depends on what I am doing that day but the simple answer to your question is yes, every day. If I am going to work (I have to dress nice) I carry a Juice S2 in a leatherman leather pouch on my belt. If I don't want it on my belt while at work then I carry a micra. Around the yard it's a leatherm...

H1: Great steel that is rust proof. I often use my spyderco salt while the weather is wet or if I am at the beach. The edge retention is great although it can be a bit diffacult to sharpen when the time comes. VG10: I have much use with this steel to be honest. I hiked a lot with it and found it to ...
