Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Chaparral by the way may be a knife you want to look at. Agreed! but already own. Looking for an excuse and rationale to buy another smaller Spyderco. Wife has a G10 sage D'fly I bought her years ago, but that's off-limits to me; I'm told I have plenty of my own knives to use. So I've narrowed it d...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
Thanks for the analysis so far. Would there be less distinction between the FRN D'fly and the Lil' Native LW? Because I'm leaning in the direction of an FRN LW model of one or the other. In which case, the D'fly K390 FRN has 2.3" long blade, 2.5mm thick, 1.2 oz. The Lil' N LW will have a 2.4&qu...

Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
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...

Re: Flattening Whestones
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...

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

Re: CBBL vertical blade-play/lock-rock
^ 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.

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

Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?
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...

Re: Native Chief Lightweight!!!
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...

Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?
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...

Re: Sage series collection - What's the next Sage?
...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...
