That seems like a great deal on that Native. Is the hold back for people the smooth G10? Lockbacks have a full grip to close and the Native isn't going anywhere when gripped. If it was not Christmas time I would love to have one. I actually like the smooth G10 now. I'm kind of done with shredded po...

Cant wait to see photos of these full size SNK Manix LW’s in the wild! It’s surprising that they did the Oversized Manix before the normal, full sized Manix LW.

I was surprised too but I'm pretty sure it has to do with production timing/scheduling. Maybe getting FRCP scales takes awhile?

I have to commend SNK for their choice of the Shopify platform and the superiority of it.Spyderco should take note.

Didn't Spyderco just use Shopify for the online seconds sale?

I wonder if St. Nick's (and others) often keep some back and dribble them out occasionally. I got a backup the last time they had some for sale, I think about 10 knives then. Not sure if this is the case with the Goddard but I know with other Spyderco exclusives they held some stock to sell in thei...

I got busy with work this morning and completely forgot about this. Good thing already had one coming. Looks like they're still available anyway

EDIT: I just realized I got my shipping notice. I'm guessing it'll actually ship on Monday as previously indicated

Thanks for the responses, fellas. Sharp Guy, that's encouraging info. I'll probably hold out for the BD1N version, as I'm not in a hurry to add the Manix but I eventually want to add that knife to my Spyderco lineup. Something tells me that I'm going to love it. I'm sure you'll enjoy BD1N even more...

$40 more for the LW than the Maxamet/G10 Sage seems like weird pricing.

I didn't look for purchase price but based on the MSRP I figured it had to be more than the Sage 1 G10 Maxamet. I like the Sage 5 LWs but I'll stick with what I have

Oh I gotcha! I thought you meant breaking it down into bin size, not cutting it down past that point. Makes a lot more sense now. I no longer have the warehouse manager job. So I'm not using my knives on the job like I used to. I work from home sitting at my computer doing CAD drafting all day. So ...

Something's up if it took multiple knives to break down a single box. Hit any staples or anything? Nope! Nothing was up. It was a big appliance box and I intentionally cut it up into tiny pieces I'll probably do the same with the bike box if I have the time (and desire). I did the same with the box...

My first Manix 2 LWs were BD1. One black FRCP and one translucent blue. I gave the blue one to my friend (he loves it) and I still have the black one. I have many knives to choose from including two other M2LWs. That BD1 knife still gets a lot of use. I've cut up all kinds of cardboard with it. Whe...

Great info Sal!!!

I don't participate in lists like these because for me it depends on the day. Too many good knives to choose from

There's no sense arguing about which is better, Caly 3 or UKPK. I have both and appreciate the virtues of both. I think it's fabulous that Spyderco gives both options. If you like one or the other then buy it and be happy

C'mon over. Our two German Shepherds will be happy to show you

I agree that the UKPK is a wonderful iteration of the Caly3

Actually, the Caly 3 is a locking version of the UKPK. The UKPK came first

I'm wondering when we could see a caly LW in magnacut or K390.

They have to start making the base model first. The Caly 3.5 LW is on the horizon. I don't think I've heard talk of the Caly 3 LW but I would think that'll come eventually

...I keep all my SNK knives in a locked... sock ...drawer along with a bunch of other knives. Often I open that drawer with the intention of grabbing something from SNK to carry. Sometimes I do get one in my pocket but a lot of times I end up seeing something else on my way there and end up putting...
