Yes, deciding between that and the SE. I only have SE on small hawkbills currently.

So, do people like the wharncliffe better in PE or SE. I think I saw Sal posted that he was using it in the spyderedge.

Yeah, I am likely out on this one. Just don't think I would use it. Hap40 makes me think this model is not intended to be a worker. However, I do love it on my caly 3.

original picture isn't showing up for me. too bad

mine had the screw with the visible threads on the clip side

Well look at that. Kind of glad I missed it because I will actually use the salt version.

Should the Shaman be released with a radiused fluted scale like the Military and other model sprint runs I would definitely reconsider. As it is I think the slippery scales tip the the balance in the PM2's favor although I like the idea of the radius edges and a departure from standard G10 checkere...

Which one was previously released? How is it different than the upcoming Spyderco C41PYL5 Native 5 Salt Folding Knife 2.95" LC200N Satin Plain Blade, Yellow FRN Handles?

Neither. Diamond or cbn rods are going to prove much more important for maintaining extremely sharp edges. It is a simple matter to make any steel sharp enough to whittle free hanging hairs with just the regular fine rods. How much sharper than that do you want your edges? If you aren’t able to get...

sure is pretty

Hi Rotten, Welcome to our forum and sorry for your disappointment. When we did the math, the cost of the G-10 machining was double the estimate. No choice but to raise the price or disco the model. "Worth" is another discussion. sal thanks for clarifying. Based on how much I enjoy the Sha...

I think the Shaman is amazing. I was fortunate to get my before the price increase. Therefore, as much as I would love to get a sprint run, it will all come down to price.

in my opinion, a PM2 is not a must. I have owned 3 and currently own 0. Looks good. but a lot would look good in this combo. Shaman please!

Enjoying M4 the most these days.
I would just like to mention that Hap40 is currently the only steel I have where I am feel somewhat nervous about accidentally getting cut with it. It just seems like it would slide right through without even noticing. So sharp.

Are they out yet?

Unless I completely missed it, I do not think any of the vtoku2s have been delivered.

This is my first manix. I really like the scales and blade. But if they make a Shaman in this combo, there is a chance I will not buy another knife for a long time.

Same here. i was interested, but now it would only be to try the new steel.

I have both the ladybug and dragonfly hawkbills in my possession right now. The ladybug makes the dragonfly seem like such a big knife! Never thought I would think that. Currently, I do not know what I would use the dragonfly hawkbill for that I can't get by with just the LBHB. More grip and a stro...

Anyone have an idea when that knife will be coming out?

I wont be getting either one, but I do like the ankerson one better.
