Spyderco Forums

The Most Interesting Man in the World was recently overheard to say: "I don't always carry small knives, but when I do, I don't know which I prefer, the Dragonfly or the Lil' Native." Given that the MIMITW is seldom indecisive, I thought perhaps the knowledgeable members of this forum coul...

Why do you all appearantly use specifically a glass plate to stick sandpaper or whatever abrasive to? Why not any other hard plate? (Like some metal)? Glass is cheap. Glass is flat enough. Glass wears slowly enough. I have an old cast iron surface plate. It's not super-precise, but I'd prefer to ke...

Thank you Mpoakes for this report, good info to know, and glad you found a fix.

Just finished swapping lightweight scales to AWT MAGPUL FDE aluminum.
I'll be rockin this today.

Lookin' good!!

This is a great thread to keep current. I think The Wartstein has an excellent idea here!

^ I hope you guys are right, an upside down cage would be a relatively easy fix. Something is keeping the ball from seating all the way in. I would also look for a burr along the surfaces that the ball contacts during lockup.

M4 Mint Madness!

Blade HQ has their exclusive Manix 2 LW with DLC blade (C101PJGRBK2) on sale for $119.99... https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Manix-2-M4-Lightweight-Mint-Exclusive--195384 For perspective, the blackout BD1N is $153.75. Such a good steel, in such a good knife...if I didn't already own the satin...

Outstanding review. Very much like the separate categories used.

You really haven´t ?!
And I thought Vivi and I would actually start to get annoying, cause we´ve shared our clips on that quite a bit already

OK, maybe I have, and forgot. I'm pretty sure I watched your vids. It's a neat trick and I'll have to try it.

The fatty in the middle rides today

Just because I like the photo so much. Hey, isn't there supposed to be a Stretch in that photo?

Hey @Bolster, have you tried the Leaf Jumper yet? Slightly slimmer in pocket than the Manix and the overall edge profile(footprint) is more in line with the Manix. More straight than belly. I know it lacks jimping and a boye dent. However, the extreme hump proves the jimping useless and the ease of...

For those who are concerned about pocket shred, but want to carry the knife anyway...any modifications possible? Could you fill in the grip troughs around the clip contact area with epoxy? Possibly sand the upper sharp tips of the grip squares a bit, at the clip contact area? Alternately, what other...

It´s funny how different folks are concerning what they find to be a "nice" carry... I didn't add a lot of detail to my comment, but to clarify, if I'm mostly standing/walking/hiking during the day, Manix-sized tallness/width is fine. Backpacking? Manix is my preferred folder. It's on day...

...Do you find that the current Manix 2 is too tall to carry comfortably? If Spyderco ever produces a mini Manix 2, the height of the knife won’t increase. Proportionally it might look taller but it wouldn’t exceed any of the current Manix 2 dimensions.... Yes, I own a lot of Manix 2s and love them...

Unless I’m mistaken, the lightweight FRN Lil Native hasn’t been released in any configuration yet. It’s highly likely they will offer the Wharncliffe version of it at some point.... Ah, not released yet; I'm jumping the gun. I hope your prediction comes true! I was surprised to see that the LW LN's...

...I´d totally be for a smaller Manix, exactly like the Manix 2, but only one single thing changed: No pinky hook, or at least pinky hook moved further back, so that still four finger fit comfortably on that handle! I could live without the pinky hook, too--although I don't mind it. The Manix almos...

I'm warming up to the idea of a shorter blade and am exploring options, but haven't been paying attention to past releases...has there ever been a lightweight wharncliffe/sheepfoot Lil' Native?
