Spyderco Forums

I sure hope this is the translucent yellow/green Manix Salt I’ve been waiting for! I can certainly see how the yellow may be reminiscent of pee, so lime green may be better in this case. As Wartstein said, the Manix LW carries so well with its light weight but wide profile, it’s a winner for me!

I know any of the transparent stuff will discolor and yellow permanently over time, but I haven’t heard much about the white. There are a lot more white G-Shocks out there though, and I’ve never about heard staining or discoloring issues…

Manix LW for me. Unfortunately it was the first Spyderco I bought, so it makes buying new knives less fun when I always end up carrying my oldest one again in the end

Thinking about a white G-Shock, but I usually stay away from white stuff because it usually doesn’t stay that way for long. How do white G-Shocks wear over time, do they get really gross and dirty? And do they clean up or when they get gross are they pretty much permanently like that?

I’m usually wearing either a Vaer C3 Korean on a Barton Cordura band or an F91W. There’s currently a blue F91W on my wrist

Manix 2 LW, Knife Joker Exclusive.
Great steel, awesome color, but if something happens to it it’ll be harder to replace.

I’ll throw in another plug for an LC200N Manix LW with translucent scales, yellow or green doesn’t matter to me!

Yeah, that’s the one. It looks exactly like the dozens of fake G10 Rubicon’s out there, but who knows, there just may be a Taiwanese factory outlet store I wasn’t aware of… doubtful, but that’s why I’m asking.

I just came across some ebay listings for what appears to be a Rubicon with G10 scales and an S30V blade, and the seller claims it’s authentic “but I don’t think they were sold in the US”. The claim is that they are totally authentic, but were an “exclusive” purchased “factory direct” in Taiwan. As ...

The spring is the only place where I can see an issue, everything else can be made from non-rusting materials. Stainless springs may not be rust resistant enough to fall under the Salt moniker, however. There’s gotta be some way to make a salt-worthy spring. The Autonomy has a coil spring (though i...

I am out riding my mountain bike and I normally have my Pacific Salt clipped inside the waistband of my athletic pants but it’s currently out on loan so I had to grab my Manix LW to take its place. This made me remember... wheres my Manix Salt?? :confused: Bring on the translucent yellow/green scale...

The benefit I find with the dent is for indexing.

There were some cows playing poker while smoking weed. It was high steaks.

Wow, I did not expect to see a UKPK salt! That’s pretty cool! I’m also happy to see the Wharnie and serrated K390 knives, I know a lot of people are gonna love those. That SSS is a good looking knife in blue. The one I was really looking forward to is the LC200N Salt 2, the rest are a surprise! That...

Ooh! I love that new color! I was planning on picking one up anyways, but now I'm really looking forward to it because its so unique! I like the cobalt blue, but its so close to so many of the other blues. I really like teal, so I'm digging it!!

I hope it wouldn't be an exclusive, because then Spydercos own steel "rights" would be tied up with another company!

I just can't get over the fact you said you couldn't bring it on a hike because its not stainless enough, even to the point of suggesting it would cease to function for you if it weren't for a ceramic detent ball! :eek: Granted, its not LC200N, but 20CV is certainly towards the top of the list for s...

Obviously, the other makers will not be able to use the round opening hole.

Nor the Compression Lock.

I don't think it is necessarily as purpose-built as some would think and it would lend itself well to a lot of cutting tasks. I agree. I also don't think the design limits you to using just the tip either. I'd argue it actually makes it easier to use the entire edge more than a "normal" w...

I recall a post where Sal responded to another forum member that “Erik is working on one.” That was me! I am also looking forward to the Lil' Native lightweight. I see it as an "American dragonfly" (maybe an "eaglefly" :D), something small and very light, easy to gift to anyone ...
