Spyderco Forums

I prefer screwed over pinned. I have never had to re-tighten a Spyderco from the factory.

Thanks Cameron, I am going to try that. It's not that it's that hard its just my fingers were getting a little tender, I wondered if there was a bur there because it requires a fair bit of force to get the ball rolling is it were. No it normal, I fool around with my EDC knives constantly and found ...

I really like the lock on the Manix2 and I found I was practicing with it so much I was wondering why my fingers hurt. I added just a tiny drop of gun oil/grease to the part where the ball bearing sits and things became very smooth, but still retained the positive lock up and effort required to unlo...

I recently dropped a knife off at the Spyderco HQ as I had damaged the tip on my Manix2. I arrived a little early and the staff graciously opened the factory shop before the normal hours rather than leave me waiting. The staff were just great, professional courteous and patient as I dropped off the ...

Causes a dilemma every morning when I try to decide between a Manix2 and the Yojimbo2

Personally I don't understand the "collecting" of knives, I have a few, but buy them to use them. I throw the boxes away and throw them in my bedside drawer and take the one out I think I will need for the day. That said I do find myself wanting more and more choices to use... I'm trying t...

Do you have a link? The only one I could find that is close was the Manix2 XL here, in which case all the Manix2 XLs I have seen have been FFG.

I would really like the Manix2 FFG with DLC too, in addition to the Manix2 XL I linked above.

Which one of the Manix2 sprints did you want?

I'm going to pick up a Manix2 and Manix2 XL in S30V with plain edges, and black blades as soon as I can find them both.

What's that thingy on the trigger guard that looks attached to the mag catch? It is actually attached to the bolt release, and is a "Battery Assist Device". It allows you to release the bolt with your trigger finger when reloading, thereby speeding up the reload. Pic thread... Stoked abou...

all the gun i saw here are for personal use or for work? If I pull out my gun, it's because it has become very personal... Spyderco Manix2 XL & Glock 19 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8372/8533013704_a4f74412d5_b.jpg Spyderco Native, Spyderco Manix2 & LMT Mk18 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8...

Arrgghh! I'm pissed I gave away my Ronin as a gift...

What about a "two piece" knife. One piece is a simply blade and handle, the second piece (kept separate in the carry on) is a sleeve that acts as a better handle and also locks the blade.
