I'm with D, Sliverax Sprint would be awesome!!

What do you fellas think about being able to do a Millie with a 4 way clip and the Stop lock? In theory the Stop lock sounds great, but we'll have to see it in use with the Parata first! I thought I remember hearing rumors hear that the Millie 2 could have the stop lock. I don't know how much the de...

Sliverax! It really is a big, little knife IMHO. Folds up into a sleek design, deep wire clip, CF scales, thick stock makes it up for beefy tasks, but the tallness of the grind makes it pretty thin behind the edge. It really is that awesome. I find myself carrying it more than my PM2 and my KC exclu...

I read in another recent thread that Sal talked about using Ceramic Detents to make them even more corrosion recent, is there a ceramic detent in this one Lance?

Does everyone here freehand sharpen it sounds like? Would you rather use that than a fixed angle system (KME, Edge Pro, etc)?

Makes me want to buy a Waterway! Kuddos again Lance!

It's an older black G-10 version in VG-10. We're working on a lite wgt, so I'm carrying. sal Awesome on the LW Caly! What steel are you thinking for it? And I have the Sliverax today! I find it getting better and better everyday. It beats out my PM2 and M2 KC exclusive with Cruwear and CF. I'm just...

Just enough to tease us!!!! What kind of steel does it sport Sal?

don't have 52100, but put my M4 steel to apple vinegar for around 8 hours, then use Brasso to brush it for 2 hours to create gradient color. here are the result https://i.imgur.com/m0aCnB8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tJKXW4W.jpg Now that Patina looks great! Almost like an Acid Wash is what I see. Did i...

Gundamaniac, Congrats on the entire process! Really cool story! I love my Sliverax, and it still flips very well for me. One thing that looks like will lead to better flipping on the Amalgam is that the flipper tab is placed more in front of the pivot than what the Sliverax is. This should allow for...

Benchmade Bluelube! My local knife store has some on hand and I've bought it from Knives Ship free for about $10! Works well!

Who handled a Parata at SHOT? What did Spyderco say regarding the estimated availability? 2nd quarter? 3rd quarter? I'm excited about this one!

anyone find either a pattern to do 3d milling myself, or a supplier of custom scales for this awesome knife? Carbon/G10 is nice, but I want to make one with natural micarta and don't have the setup to do it right myself. Also looking for flat screws like the PM2 has. and what about a sprint run wit...

THIS. 100% THIS.

Know this sounds awesome!

I was wondering how long it would take EvilD to weigh in! :D I prefer my Sliverax for EDC compared to my Manix and PM2. It has more blade length, slices just as well on my experience, and I love the deep carry wire clip that allows it to slide easily in and out of the pocket. Then the fidget factor ...

I like it! I have recently acquired the KC exclusive Manix with CF and Cruwear, so I don't have a long term report. However I am extremely pleased with how stainless it is. I initially heard its non stainless and babied it, then started reading how it's along the D2 lines of non stainless, but only ...

I don't NEED a knife, but the DLC M4 Manix would be absolutely incredible. Or the Parata to check out the Stop Lock with the Caly like handle!

Military 2 with the Stop Lock in the tip up carry position!

Awesome! I like it, great idea!

The lock lifts up and out real smoothly and easily and operates similarly to a compression or CBBL in action. Really a one thumb function. I'd say even easier than the Axis lock on the particular model that was exhibited at BLADE. I think it pivots towards the blade when going up. YES!!!!! So excit...
