you need one more to complete the letter A. :)

i have an endura FRN with the black clip, is there any way to polish the clip so it would look like stainless steel? can i just use metal polish to strip the black coat off?

ok, got it thanks. BTW did you use the chinook for the same tasks that you used the others for?

i thought that the blade on the mini manix was 4 mm and 3 mm on the m2.

orange large manix for me with a 4mm thick blade of s90v, saber grind, large diameter pivot, full steel liners, and ball bearing lock. that sure will scratch my itch.

that's not saying anything. maybe abuse for you is light use for me or vice versa. what were you doing with them when their tips broke off?

hickster, I'm in the Philippines. my old schrade 130t works fine but that rock salt is one attractive knife. most of the time I can carry anything up to a machete but since it's election time it is also officially crazy season here.

How did you break their tips?

How can you tell it's a knockoff? i woulda been taken in.

How do i get to be one of your groomsmen? :)

closest image i could get of the cross section. hope this works.

ideally i would want something that has the endura 4's saber ground blade with solid liners like the CG and a lockup like the original manix. but that would be a custom and would cost too much to be a beater knife. batoning a bamboo stem is way easier on the knife than batoning wood since bamboo is ...

My list of hard use tasks. 1. digging at the roots of a mango tree to look for root rot. 2. cutting off the part with rot. 3. trimming up to 1 inch diameter branches. 4. cutting up sacks of fertilizer. 5. preparing firewood from bamboo(some batoning required) 6. cutting and shaping bamboo sticks for...

ah yes the chinook and the GB both rock, but price wise the mannix 2 seems to be the winner. steel is just 154 cm but i think that will be sufficient. edge retention and hardness won't be a major requirement. it's the construction( lock strength and pivot strength) that will most likely be the first...

my EDC is an endura 4 FRN. i like it a lot but I'm looking to try out the manix 2 and it's rep of "built like a tank".

:)

ah validation. i'm planning on getting a manix 2 but budget constraints dictate the 154 cm bladed one.

just out of curiosity, what's the hardest use folder that spyderco produces? or the one that can take the most abuse?

what I did with mine was to wedge the closed blade with paper to move it to the opposite side that it was crooked on. then i loosened the pivot and then tightened it right back to where the blade wouldn't budge. then i took out the paper wedge and loosened the pivot to the desired tightness. the bla...

I just got bitten by the spyder and I just bought my first two. the first is an all black millie which i ordered by mail and the second is an endura that i also ordered by mail. The prices i paid for these knives are a somewhat substantial here in the philippines but i have no complaints. I'm just h...
