The current regular manix finishe and the pm3 standard finish are really nice too. Hard to beat the beauty of the taichung ones like the swayback and drunken as well.

About 8 or 10 years ago, Cold Steel posted a series of videos where they torture tested other manufacturer's knives. I am pretty sure the Manix was the ONLY knife they tested (other than a few Cold Steel models) to survive every test. The final step was using a hydraulic jack to induce failure, and...

Happy to see the other people posting about the bolstered micarta persians

Native chief would be excellent! Would definitely prefer that over the manix. Love that backlock and long slicey blade.

Doesn’t get better than the self close bias on spyderco lock backs. I never worry about them opening in my pocket.

I’m not too worried, I imagine if you really want to pick one up you should be able to.

Looks good to me, nice and solid

Really enjoy it on my salt 1!

I miss the "dinosaur" and "gear" jimping styles and wish they'd do different styles of jumping on different models once in a while. The gear style on my original Native was so cool. The dinosaur style on the old Military was cool too and I wish there was a modern refined version...

Wish I didn’t miss out on the cf/ti framelock millie in s90v and the slyz bowie. Also I would like my lil persian with bolster and micarta back

The back lock on the native chief and the liner lock on the military are things of beauty. Spyderco does these locks the best of any company. I love all of their locks, all are executed so well and im glad we have a variety to pick from. Can’t think of any ither company like that

Why resist this SXL? Don't you already own a Military?

This should be front page of the catalog

That’s a good looking knife
