First thing I’d do is keep an eye on the BF Exchange.
Your $100 would go much farther that way.
Depending on your needs plays a big part in choosing a specific model.
Personally I’d look for a PM2 or a Manix. Both amazing Spydies.

Couldn’t agree more!! Love CF!
I just unboxed this bad boy! I fell in love with the orange G10 version......but CF was available and I couldn’t resist! It has a very different texture, feels great!
Joe

Just arrived yesterday and color me extremely impressed!!
F&F are literally perfect! Free dropping action OOTB and locks up withno movement at all!
Perfectly centered and Knives Plus put an outstanding edge on it!
I see LOTS of carry for this beauty!
Joe

I have 7 Manix 2s......still not enough!!
6 PM2s.....can’t get enough!!
4 Millies......what a fantastic design!!

My 3 favorites??? All tied for #1! Domino, Southard and Advocate.
Joe

The coated XHP Para 2 is my favorite version.......but no way am I paying $300 for it.

Just ordered one yesterday......$99 for the CF version. Could not pass it up at that price.
Really looking forward to checking it out.

I just ordered my first Para 3 from Knives Plus. They do a few mods to some Spydies. I chose a black blade with red dyed camo scales. Really looking forward to it, but it will have some serious competition!! I LOVE my 5 Para 2s and 7 Manix 2s.......they both are almost perfect for me. Can’t wait to ...

Great topic!! Along with dog pics??? Cannot get better!! The knife for me??? Definitely the Native. The only reason I even have one is I found a Franken Native for real cheap and couldn’t resist. It has been an excellent performer, but a terrible fidgeter! Carry it as a work knife, HVAC, and it has ...

I love the Manix 2 and the BBL. it doesn’t act like an Axis Lock because it isn’t an Axis Lock. Also, if you call Benchmade, they will tell you to use 2 fingers to disengage. If one finger is used, over time you will break the O spring on that side. Ask me how I know!!! The thing with the BBL is it ...

The Back Lock on mine lines up flush with no spaces anywhere.
Also, the grind looks off towards the front of the blade.
Hard to tell if it’s a fake from your pics though.

That’s 2 Spydie families brother!! Doesn’t it feel so much better buying a knife for one of our kids than ourselves??? I cannot wait to see the look on their faces when they realize they’re getting a new knife!! Priceless!! Love how your girl KNOWS what she likes!! Joe Great point about gifting Spyd...

Been in that same spot a few times with deer hit by cars.
Horrid, but you know you did the right thing.
Joe

Great point about gifting Spydies Eli! I have 3 sons, 19, 25 & 28.......all 3 have been given many Spydies!! They also seem to ‘borrow’ some! I use the word borrow very loosely!!
This hobby is even more fun when our children get involved! Lot more expensive, but worth every penny!
Joe

Keep it fun and don’t go crazy!! It’s very easy to do!
Joe

Excellent decision brother, and I’m sure you’re gonna love that bad boy.......ESPECIALLY at that price!! Let us know what you think when it arrives! Joe Hi Archangel, I would suggest that if you want one, you should get one and enjoy it. If you have a problem, we will certainly take care of you. The...

This has been a sore spot with me for quite some time now. I have an Advocate, a Domino and a Southard. All 3 came out of the box as close to perfect as can be. All 3 have been carried and used extensively. They all flip perfectly and have become my favorite Spydies. How these ‘experts’ can cause su...

Have mine for 2 years and never had any Lock issues.
I’m around 50% for at least a year. Excellent flipper and great knife!
Joe

Well, perhaps the title should be the knife selecting process. Like so many out there, I don't have a brick and mortar store to fondle much of a variety of knives, especially Spydercos. So I read and watch videos and look at pictures and do my level best to dissect, discern and decide on what I thi...

You guys are killing me... Waiting for mine to make the trip over the big pond. Very curious to see how this "new generation" of flippers works out. My advice is to avoid the internet and any opinions lol. It's getting to the point where you'll find whatever opinion and review you really ...

I'm guessing these will both have skeletonized liners and both are a hair over 4 ounces. Just a guess.
