Re: 15V Shaman!

Came out of hiding to share that I just got one of these. My wife went to CO for a wedding over fathers day weekend and surprised me with box direct from the SFO. I was a little nervous that it was going to be a stock PM2 or something but you can imagine my surprise when it was the 15V Shaman! She c...

Maybe overshadowed by Fridays PM2 drop.
Which one is this? Sorry I missed the memo.
BHQ has their M4/Jade combo with tanto blade PM2, also in satin or DLC

Re: DLT Manix 2 Purple G-10 CPM Cru-Wear

Got mine with no issues. Very happy to add Cru-wear back into the rotation. I still miss my grey checkered cru-wear manix I foolishly let go of. This one is right up my alley with the purple G10 and DLC blade. To me its a subtle but elegant combo meets badda$$. Plus I love how sticky you can get cru...

Re: BHQ with a hap40 Lum Tanto exclusive?

Loving mine! VERY sharp out of the box and in excited to have a slicey thin tanto, in a tough blade steel. The clad factor just adds to the coolness, personal still not sure of the actual benefit for a folder. Mines a hair off center but no where near touching. Added a few drops of Hoppe's to the wa...

Re: Manix 2 Sprint Run

If toughness is your top priority, K390 is tougher than M390 but is a tool steel. Although in my 4 or 5 year experience with K390, it wants to patina more than rust and I live on a salty Maine island (I've gotten a spot of rust on my CTS-204P Para if that means anything..)

Re: Manix 2 Sprint Run

I am very interested in what you are proposing. My first choice for blade steel would be K390 in a skeletonized SS liner/G10 configuration. I think that would be a very stout working knife, capable of doing a wide range of tasks. Plus lefty friendly. As far as the G10 color, I would leave that to th...

Re: Maxamet or K390 Manix 2 LW Back Lock?

I would love to see K390 on the Manix 2. I think it is the perfect platform for the steel. However, I would think a hard use steel like K390 would be better suited in G10 with full or skeletonized steel liners. IMHO

Re: Mail Day + Sprint Runs

The Lefty Military is what got me into this whole Spyderco world (which I guess was just a short lived production run) But after more productions runs, exclusives and sprints than I can count, my favorite is my Blue BBS M390 PM2. The PM2 has always been one of my favorite models and this color and s...

Re: K390 Offerings

Manix 2 in any G10 would be my dream knife. PM2 would be great as well. My K390 mule has been my go-to prep knife since its release. Hands down favorite steel.

Personally I've noticed my "rotating" is slowing down as the years go by. I think Im just learning what it is I actually like and is right for my use. I guess thats what I set out to do when this whole thing started; find the perfect knife... That said, I'll never be a "one knife guy&...

Re: How to find out about new sprint runs?

Once you hear of an exclusive coming from a particular dealer; follow and subscribe them on FB and IG. And then be prepared for a long "bathroom break" at work due to "site crashes". Its exciting!

Re: Super Blue??

Depends on your budget. Personally I have regretted selling my Super Blue Caly 3 for years now, but never enough to pay the price hike. Its my favorite steel in the patina category and takes an amazing edge very easily. Great for light use.
