Keep in mind the 12 doing the "trying" likely arent knife knuts. Specially not ones interested in self defense.

Definitely wouldnt complain.

Sal, Id love ANY steel you guys made into a knife.

Tamahagane has simply always fascinated me. The wood-like grain that shows when polished is sweet. The work that goes into it. The ART behind it.

Of course there are much better options now. Prolly never happen.

But if it does, ill be glad God ...

With Spyderco being a leader in exotic steels, it would be awesome to see a tamahagane blade offered by them at some point. Like on another mule run or whatnot. Word.

Definitely wont be holding my breath on that one tho ...

I absolutely LOVE my 701 set. Shoulda bought like four sets to last me forever. I don't follow the official instructions, as i find it very awkward and wobbly trying to balance the rod and maneuver the knife. Also find that the amount of strokes recommended usually produces a pesky wire edge. I just ...

In South Dakota you can walk into some knife stores and buy one, then leave and carry it same as a slipjoint with a thumb notch.

Funny how the area of dirt where you hang your hat can affect your potential criminality.

Good to know. Ill see if i can find one to handle.

Figured. Makes sense. Thx.

Tenacious is honestly too nice to beat on. Got a Cold Steel Voyager for that.

Thx guys. I suspect it was mostly a matter of Spyderco starting the native with walmart to expand the brand, as said. I believe it was around 8 years ago, but that is a pretty wild guess. I recall at the time seeing the exact same knife here and there for 70, while still 40 at walmart. Wish I would ...

Hey all, im sure this has been asked, but i figured id ask again for a nutshell answer.

Many years ago, I bought the made in USA s30v FRN native when walmart was selling it for forty bucks. It disappeared from my pocket soon after while i was working. Truth be told, i wasnt in love with it, so I ...

The perfect balance of form and function.

When a knife has perfect ergos, perfect performance, and looks awesome, the formula is complete. This puts it on my favorite list.

Interesting. Thx.

Thx for the info guys.

Course. Her name is Manx Spyder.

Downloaded a different QR scanner. Worked fine this time.

Opus,
If youre seeing a true bead blasted finish, id be concerned. Im pretty confident spyderco doesnt even use bead blasting. You sure thats the right description?

Dutch,
When you describe the polish, are you actually seeing grind lines, like the lateral ones found on, say, a PM2? Mine has none ...

Im quite curious if this is intentional.

Just received a brand new Manix 2 LW. I have no reason to suspect its a fake. However, when i attempt to scan the QR code, it doesnt even register on my phone. Ideas?

Thx.

Strange. Thinking if you got it from walmart its prolly real. I just scanned my brand new Manix 2 LW, and the code wouldnt even register on my phone. Now im starting to worry a bit. Maybe somethings up with the codes???
