Got wind a while back that this model was a sprint for Bento Box Shop. I got on BBS's list and had the knife within a week at a fair price. Nice steel that has developed a very mild patina that I rather like.Donut wrote:How did you get a Tan XHP Manix? :)

The Logic of Our Acquisitions
Glad am I that Sal has said no one is going to buy every knife Spyderco produces. I certainly can't afford to, so I have done some thinking about what has caught my eye since I began to acquire Sypdies in February. I discover that I prefer (over the many alternatives): Leaf/spear points Plain edge F...

You did make me look! After all, what issues could there be with this wonderful knife? It's back in my right-front pocket after sitting out a week while I EDCed my new Manix 2. Unlike the Manix 2's aggressive jimping along the back, which I really like in the hand, the Sage 3's closed back is friend...

Curious about blade logo
Am I imagining things or do Spyderco's factories apply logos to the blade in different ways? Golden (source of my Paramilitary 2 and just-arrived Manix 2) and Seki-City (source of my Dragonfly) seem much alike. The logo, metallic in appearance, seems to be level with the surface of the CPM S30V, CPM...

New to Spyderco, I have acquired in quick succession a Tenacious, a Dragonfly 1, a Sage 3 and a Para-Military 2. I EDC the Sage 3. In addition to its sky-blue scales and its fit and finish, I admire the Sage 3's resemblance to points in the Clovis tradition of Paleoamerica. I do have my eye on the i...

There are a number of dealers that have a formal pre-order system. KnifeCenter, Cutlery Shoppe, KnifeWorks, and Howes Knife Shop come to mind, but I'm sure there are others as well. I have a hunch that most dealers who do not advertise pre-orders would probably be willing to reserve a knife for a r...

I've had my Sage 3 for a few weeks and, just because I like the feel of a knife in my hand (need I explain in this forum?!), have gone through binges of opening and closing it. I'd say the bolt is now marginally stiffer, even after a drop of oil, just at the start of its release. Where I think the t...
