Re: did somebody say magnacut manix...?!

Thanks Beau. Could not resist...my avatar made me do it... :smiling-cheeks I am just now, at this moment, on December 25th, 2023, as I wait for my Thursday delivery. Finding it odd, that are we really getting a black clip and hardware, on this satin bladed version? I have to think that it's at leas...

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!

I'm about 340 miles West x Northwest of you, Manixguy@1994. So maybe this time it was just a Midwest thing? :smiling-cheeks

They sure can't blame it on the weather though. Up until today (1 inch of rain @ 52 degrees), the weather has been fantastic for the last dozen weeks.

Re: Manix Sprint

Help me think back, RustyIron. Isn't this the first Rex 45 to be DLC coated, on any Spyderco knife? There was a similar Para 3 and Native 5 from GPKnives. Also a Blade HQ copper handled PM2 exclusive. Thank you. I just couldn't think of any, and I don't follow the Para 3's and Native's very closely...

Nice haul, Steve. The satin one is an especially smokin' deal.
It sure is! :collision

Re: Anticipation of: CPM REX T15 in MT34

This T15 has GOT to be just about to drop, right? You would think ! Man, it's been a long wait. It hadn't occurred to me that Spyderco might wait for a previous model to sell out before producing the next. That brings a little raincloud into my knife life. I suspect that the T15 Mules are already m...
