It is nice but I only got to touch one once and that one had such a bad detent could not flip open without flicking the wrist. So, past it up. Good flippers shoul fly open once you over come the detent in my opinion. Probably just that one I saw. Is yours that way? Oh, and your pics are awesome. I ...

Great pictures, Tap! I really like the comparisons too. It's always great to have a point of reference to a wide array of models. The Mantra definitely is a fantastic knife.

I received my Mantra today! Thanks again to the entire Spyderco Crew!

Here it is:


Mantra with Techno:

I received my tracking number today as well! I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Mantra next week. :D

I'm looking forward to hearing the results for this one. Sounds like it has some interesting properties.

Congratulations everyone! Thank you very much to the Spyderco Crew for running this contest for us. There were many creative and beautiful submissions. I have submitted my photo to the site and its an honor to be included in the 2017 Calendar.

Thanks again,
Will

That's a tough one. I would agree with others here and say start with a Native. It is such a refined design and I personally like the Golden, CO connection. Plus, you could always pick up the Sage in the future. In the grand scheme of things though, I don't think there is a possible poor choice. I d...

Hi ShaneInDenver, SpyderWill, Welcome to our forum and thanx for the kind words. We do have a somewhat special group that hangs out here. Hello Sal, Thanks for the warm welcome. You do have quite a special group here and I hope to be a part of it moving forward. Not only are knives a shared persona...

Thanks for the video, Jazz. It's very cool to see it in action especially since Sal & the team helped to transform it from a dream into reality in such a short time. Let’s hope it makes it into production, that design looks like a winner! Thanks again for sharing your ideas with all of us and I'...

I received my Mid-Year Guide today. I have to say, I don’t think I have ever seen catalogs put together as well as Spyderco’s. The 2016/40th anniversary one was beautiful and this format for the Mid-Year works really well. Nice and compact and retains the scale photos. I think we need to coin the ph...

Thank you for the nice compliments, SpyderWill. That is very kind of you. :) Welcome to the Forum too, by the way! It is nice to have you here. What are some of your favorite Spyderco designs in your collection? Thanks again and take care! Michael Thanks for the warm welcome! :D I've been reading s...

Thanks for sharing, Michael! It's always fascinating to see some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into knife design and making. It definitely forms an additional appreciation for the craft. I'm looking forward to adding a Rhino to my growing collection in the future.
