Re: if you could only own a 5 Spyderco knife collection:

I'm going with:

Manix 2 XL
Manix 2
UKPK
Stretch 2 Straight Spine
Pacific Salt 2
Mantra 1

Hm, that is six. Maybe the two Manix count as one? If not, it depends on the specific day. But in general, the Pacific has to leave the list, it's a close call.

Re: Manix Modifications. What have you done? What do you want to do?

i do feel that the plastic cage operated a little more smoothly. it's more difficult to use the metal cage with one finger as opposed to a pinch grip because the stem of the cage binds a little on the spring. i can still do it though and still prefer the extra traction of the metal. If you replace ...

Re: Reveal 14 Live!

Very nice 👍. Three new Manix 2. The Crucarta XL and the salt are an absolute must have. Now, that I think about it, the normal Crucarta is one too. Very, very nice to see a new Manix 2 XL. And this combination is very near perfect for this knife. Absolutely getting one. No question. The salt Manix 2...

Re: Poll: Which Golden Model Do You Want to See in 15V Next?

UKPK or Manix 2 XL.

Voted for the UKPK but both would get my money.

Re: Most used VS favourite 🤔

My favorite is my most used, in terms of how much it has cut and what I grab when I know, I will need a knife. But, because of carry laws, my most carried is not my favorite. I carry my favorite from time to time, depending on where I go, but the other knife just never leaves my pocket. Favorite is ...

Re: What you don't like about spyderco knives?

First I want to say, Spyderco is my favorite knife brand. There are no other production knives out there that perform that well, or at least I don't know of any. But they are not perfect. So this is, what I don't like: The hole. Don't get me wrong, the hole is by far the very best opening method out...

Re: Corrosion Reports

I forgot to take pictures but still wanted to share my experience with CPM-15V. After carrying my CPM-15V Manix a lot without any treatment to prevent corrosion, besides wiping the blade clean with a dry rag, I put it in a drawer for two weeks. After that time it had many small rust spots all over t...

Re: Manix 2 lanyard barrel disassembly/reassembly question...

I got a S30V Manix that had a terrible life before getting in my hands. The lanyard tube doesn't hold the scale on one side now. Since it's the only thing keeping the butt of the handle together it's annoying ^^. You probably can fix this with a center punch or something similar, as long as the dia...

Re: How have your preferences changed over the years?

I think, my preferences have changed more into extremes. On the one hand, I really like the high edge retention steels. K390, CPM-15V and Rex 45. All these steels have rusted on me. But the edge stability, retention and the hardness of the blades are just phenomenal. Cuts after cuts through anything...

Re: Native Chief LW full serrations

I love it and want it. Are the serration pictures necessarily representative of the actual serrations in general though? The way they are ground, I assume they vary from knife to knife, even within the same model line. Not so sure about that. The UKPK even had a different number of teeth in the cat...

Re: Reveal 13 Live!

The M4 Tenacious and the UKPK are very interesting. The Subvert is cool.

Waiting for the EU prices of the Tenacious. I'm not sure, if it still qualifys as a budget model. But the steel isn't budget anymore either. So I will see.

Re: Fixing Lock Rock in Seki FRN lockbacks

I just got a new Pacific Salt 2, a few days ago. It had massive lock rock out of the box. But it also had very loose screws out of the box. I was able to tighten them by more than one full turn. After the screws had been tightened there still was lock rock, but way less. I personally accepted the re...

Hardly a mod, but more of a personal test.

The clip from the CPM-15V Manix 2.
Stock and shiny:

Stonewashed and more fitting to the blade finish. Not 100% the same, but better than original:

Still can't decide, if this is amazing or awful. Kind of the best of both worlds. If there is such a thing.
