Re: Best Spyderco value
Military S110V. It really is a broad subject, but considering the steel (and what other companies expect you to pay for it, IF they even offer it) this probably is the most bang for your buck. There may be more inexpensive options that do perform great but this Military is a bargain for what you ge...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Hi - My question is simple - it appears from searching the net that there seems to be a few happy owners of this knife, and found a few threads discussing it. But what is odd is that nobody took the time to write a user review about it! There are literally two reviews out on a Google search - I thi...

Re: C41GPFGR5 S90V Native 5 KC Exclusive
Just bought one of these a couple of minutes ago from KC.... excited to get it and try it out. I was eyeing up the Manix 2 BL for the longest time, but caved on this one first because I don't have any knives in S90V and want to give it a try. The liner-less providing a middle weight option between L...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Why aren't there more liner-less G-10 offerings? They're coming... They just switched the Native to linerless as a running change. I believe there's more coming... Yes, I linked that Native 5 liner-less G-10 in about two posts ago...look up! :D ... as far as the Manix 2 - let me ring home my cost e...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Yeah, I 've heard the XL sentiment a few times... it would seem the liner-less G-10 would make even more sense on bigger knives for the implied weight savings without giving up strength? I mean, lets face it, those thick G-10 slabs HAVE TO be more stable / durable than FRN, and having a middle groun...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
By the way, here is another one with the same DNA as the Manix 2 BL that has always intrigued me a little: https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C41GFGR5/1108 It is also linerless G-10, and from what I have read also have nice thick G-10 slabs.... this is very similar to the Manix 2 BL. Then agai...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Gonna go get mine out of the box, and put it in the pocket, though! Hope you don't plan on putting too much else in that pocket LOL. :D Seriously, it does look like a fine knife. All my sensibilities tells me it is exactly what I think it is, just wanted to test the waters with some of the satisfie...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Regardless, I am still thinking of buying it myself... it LOOKS like a well built knife in pics and on paper. I have never owned (or even held) a liner-less knife in G-10 with that thick of a slab - so I am going on faith with that.... but then again, the LW's are linerless and this has to be much ...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
I have trouble with the boring label - there are a lot of knives with g10, s30v-like and back locks that sell like crazy.... can you say Native 5 (although the Native is S35VN, it is very similar to S30V with many of the same characteristics - edge retention, corrosion resistance and sharpening)? Th...

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Hi - Long time Spydy owner, recently back looking to add a couple more to the collection after one of my old-timers seemed to have gotten legs and disappeared. :confused: Joined the board to begin with a query about the Manix Back Lock version which has caught my eye. I do recall back some years ago...
