I'm currently playing with a Sage 5 LT WT REX-121 proto.

I posted about the knife on the first page. It's honestly, not anything that special. I agree, pretty crazy how some people seem to think this is the end all PM2 grail knife. I honestly found it ugly in person, especially that coating :eek: The S90V/CPM154 laminate with cf PM2 is the ultimate grail...

Its been awhile, but I finally have a new Spydie on the way: 204P green Delica. It's gonna complement the green PM2 (also from Knifeworks) very well.

Just read the December Spyderco Byte and I realized that they did the thing I was asking about by designing SPY27: "Continuing this evolutionary path, the new Manix 2 Lightweight proudly features our proprietary CPM SPY27 blade steel. Starting with a tried-and-true Spyderco standard—Japanese VG-10 s...

I like all 3 clip styles/brands. The thing that has defeated clip retention the most in my experiences is sitting on a wicker chair. I've had clips bent and broken, and knives removed from the pockets while using that style chair. Seat belts are good at snatching knives too.

Nothing original, just for fun.

I can't believe I just only noticed the Schrute farms background. I think Dwight would love this knife. Perfektenschlag! LOL. :D On a more serious note, what clip are you using? That is a MXG deep carry clip more geared to the Manix or Native. Dwight would like the knife, until he reads "Taiwan" on...

I have too many Delicas. I want this one too, really bad. Classic Spyderholic Conundrum.

The Chaparral is a knife I want to love, but that cliché issue of "lock bar too thin, hurts thumb" unfortunately made it a deal breaker for me. The FRN was nice, very similar to Seki but more like Kinects vs Lego. The CF/G10 was alright as well. Perhaps three's a charm with the wood handles, and I'...

Endura or LW Manix sounds excellent. LW Manix>G10 Manix

Manix 2 LW x100

I wanted a Delica Wharncliffe HAP40 so bad I paid MSRP for it. No regrets. M390, S90V, etc. would be excellent. Stainless steel for the sweaty hands.

I've been waiting for this topic to be discussed here. I had an issue with the back locks on the Native Chief and the Siren; like others mentioned, in the hammer grip (and other grips) my palm would actuate the lock bar enough to make the blade loose. They didn't feel safe and I ended up selling the...

I'm guessing Eric would suggest a Sal design.
Since I enjoy carrying 2 folders, in reality I get to carry one from each

"Extension" or "Extend"
One of the other synonyms perhaps.

That's gonna be a great alternative to the Endura or Police. Call it the Extension or something.

I keep coming close to buying a millie. It’s got a sort of odd “vintage spyderco” aesthetic that I can’t quite shake. The simple construction, the soft corners on the bits of the handle around the pivot. I’m not even really into big knives, the spydiechef is about my limit. But it’s oddly alluring....

Good question. I sold my Delica in CW and regret it a little. A new Endura Cruwear with that gray FRN would bring back that joy for me, and I think CW in a larger blade makes sense.
