Re: Are there any Shaman Sprints or Dealer's Exclusives planned?

Hey Austrian compatriot ;), Don´t know anything about new Shaman sprints, but Palo Art actually contacted Lamnia sometime last year if they´d do a (and the first) European dealer exclusive, see this https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?t=95535 thread.... Perhaps you could advocate for a Shaman t...

Re: Your favorite color combination?

I am one of those who actually really like bunt orange.
Even more so when the REX 45 blades it comes with show some patina or the HAP40 blades patina and scratches on the soft SUS410 cladding steel..

Re: Any Double Bladed Desires?

I'd actually like to see a Dyad featuring a comboedge blade and, yes, a saw (most will know that Soyderco had a folding "Spyder"saw in their lineup back in the days).

Even started a poll on this once

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

I have no interest in a serrated Manix 2 in any steel, but I still don't understand why there aren't any in the lineup. It seems obvious there should be at least one. Maybe they haven't wanted to introduce a new blade until the screwed CQI came out, or until the Salt release. My guess is it's just ...

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

That has not been my experience. I've found that serrations cut some tough materials better than a plain edge. When the job is complete, the serrated edge is still suitable for continued use, while the plain edge can be disappointingly degraded. For this reason, if I think I'm going to encounter so...

Reporting back . . . I bought a Dragonfly 2 with Black FRN and VG-10. Decided my capability gap was not having a blade under 2.5 inches for carry in a more (blade length) restrictive nearby locality. (It does look great next to the Endura and Delica.)

I sure hope you went for SE... ;)

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

I am a huge SE fan. Almost all my Spydies are SE or CE. That said, I don’t really understand what keeps Spyderco making SE versions of so many of their knives. My observation is serrations are almost unknown in the folder world today. If serrated folders were profitable surely there would be a lot ...
