I hope 7.5 cm, not mm...
Nice, that's manix-ish or even a tad more.

Doh! Yeah, typo - definitely cm, not mm!!!

Very nice, as always!! :)
How much cutting edge is left in length?

Thanks Wartstein! Just measured - 7.5mm cutting edge (about 2.9").
edit: Whoops! 7.5cm, not mm.

Mini-Southard chop today:

Mike Burch!

So awesome D!

Chopped Large Lum today:

Still available, thanks anycal!!! Had given up hope, but just nabbed one, woooooo!!!!

Love how this thread turned into sk8 talk - my favorite thing in the world, way beyond knives. Sk8ing = life!!!

Here's a Manix chop I just did for a customer, w/ 2 alt blades:

Where’s DigDug72? He runs a prolific Spydie chop shop. ;) :) Thanks Cambertree! I'm actually finishing up a Manix2 chop right now on a sprint run w/ the weight holes in the liner. It's been tricky - required repositioning the rear standoff, and I definitely had a harder time than usual w/ it. I'll ...

^ LIKE! Thanks SG! Um yeah that is cool! Would buy one of those for sure. I really appreciate that Bemo, thank you! Your "chops" just do look amazing. Like meant like that in the first place. Thanks for the pics! Yes, that´s how I´d want a Lili Kapara to be... :) (But in this knife I pers...

OK, found some:

They look like you did a very nice job. Thanks Cl1ff! I just strongly assumed that the knives in the vids where "chopped" by you, but could not 100% sure. I do recall when you posted the Kapara and other "chops" on this forum, all where just amazing! :) Perhaps you´d like to sha...

Might be interesting for some: https://youtu.be/nMQT_1U24Bw Thanks for linking that Wartstein! I didn't bother posting my homespun mini-Kapara chop in this thread, as I figured you guys have already seen it, but I did send it recently to Metal Complex to check out, along w/ a mini-Smock chop, and a...

Oh man, a Spydie Lum cai dao would be beyond epic! Got a cai dao for my wife last Xmas, and its our go to food prep knife now for many things (yeah, especially slicing veggies). Agree with Fireman that the traditional ergos need help, and I can't imagine a team that would do that better than Spyderco!

Didn't think I'd like this one based on specs/pics. Sure was dead wrong! The SpyOpera's been kicking everything else outta my pocket for the last week. Love this lil knife.

Yep, they're both Taichung spydies, and I'd imagine that's the main factor (factory/country of origin) for compatibility. The Taichung spydies are gonna use metric hardware, while the Golden USA ones use standard US hardware. Would imagine the Seki City also use metric, but could be using different ...

Thanks for the awesome kindness and encouragement Spydie familia!!!
