What about my knife? Is that rust?

Here's a couple pics of it. Does your Manix look like this?

I recently purchased a Manix, and am concerned that it may be rusting. The part of the blade that hooks up with the lock back has a red-rust colored look. I tried wiping it with a q-tip dipped in oil, but the q-tip came up clean. So I am wondering if maybe this is some kind of protective coating for ...

Nothing? :confused:

What new :spyder: were introduced this year at the Blade show?

What hawkbill type knives has Spyderco made in the last few years?
I know of the following ones, but are there any others? Maybe some limited editions?

Harpy / Merlin
Spyderhawk
Matriarch
Civilian

Benhcmades is not.

:rolleyes:

Can't go wrong with the Combo. :D

What knives does :spyder: make with a black coated blade? I know they offer it on the Military and Paramilitary, but are there any others? I'd love to see a black bladed Manix. :cool:

Flagship usualy means the top of the line. The most expensive, best made model. The Delica is a classic Spyderco, but it's not the top of the line. The flagship would probably be the Military. ****, the Delica isn't even made at the Spyderco plant.

You think AUS6 costs more than VG10?

I'm wondering if anyone knows why :spyder: uses VG10 blades for the FRN handled enduras and delicas, but AUS6 for the stainless ones?

What is UFs?

If a knife is still sharp, and you just want to touch up the blade, get it back to razor sharp, is there any need to follow steps 1 and 2 with the brown rods? Why not just start at step 3 on the white rods? :confused:

I need a new knife and I allready have a large collection of folders, daggers, throwing knives you name it but what I really want to purchase is a butterfly knife. I am not sure what to get though I mean theres the benchmade models but they are so expensive its ridiculous. I like the Spyderco ...

Emerson CQC7 lists for $160, and the Benchmade 910 lists for $130. Millie lists for $180.

So the law is on your side if you shoot that waste of humanity and you don't agree with it? :confused:
Then you'll love being in Canada where you cannot use a gun to threaten an intruder. And if you fight him back while he is bashing in your skull or raping your 9 year old daughter, he can ...

Well, one way of looking at it is that the Military has been on the market, and selling well, for going on ten years now. If there were a pattern of failure in normal use, it would have surfaced by now. Knowing Spyderco, if that had happened, it would have been addressed and solved.

If I ...

I just wish they made it with a more substantial lock, like the compression lock. Either that, or add titanium liners to it. Maybe for 2006 :D

I recently got a Black Blade Military :spyder: and have a question about the lock. What kind of steel is the liner-lock made of? Also, can this type of lock stand up to hard use?
