Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10

I like all Spyderco locks except for the CBBL. I just find it fiddly and clumsy in use. I know most people seem to like it but I avoid this lock.

It's a shame the new Manix XL from Knifecenter has it. If it had been a back lock I'd definitely get one.

Re: Seki Made Phil Wilson Design?

I don't hunt anymore but 100% I would buy this. Still keen to buy another Sprig as well if Spyderco does a re-run. K390 is a good choice. I hope this doesn't change into a thread of "yeah, but do it in this SS or that".

Re: Folder Survey ’23 - Your Preferences Needed!

Good job on the survey. I did not read the whole thread so I apologize if it's already been said. It will be interesting if the results match Spyderco's own sales data.

Re: Sprig Re-run

Bump for interest. For those that don't have one, the Sprig is both beautiful, and in use, exceptional.

At the time, problem was the same of your I was at school/university, and I lacked of fund. Now they are quite impossible to fin...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

Probably late to the game with the regarding steel discussion. I would have liked an intermediate steel like XHP to have been used. A bit better edge retention than VG10 but still easy to machine.

I cant imagine a hybrid between the 2 knives. I can imagine a Military 2 with a back lock.

Re: Canada's knife laws just cost me almost $400.

Perhaps I'm just a cynic, but I don't think that the knife has to be legal or illegal, I think it depends n whether or not the officer in question likes it. sal !00% That's exactly why This shouldn't be left up to some turkey that has a chip on his or her shoulder or someone who's jealous of your p...

Re: Cutleryshoppe exclusive?

Did CS already run an orange satin P3 LW in XHP? I have a G10 version but I didn't see the LW in a satin blade.

Re: Thin grinds?

The GB2 is beautifuly thin behind the edge, A fantastic cutting tool. IMHO the bet blade on any Spyderco. It's a shame they don't put similar racecar blades on other models.

Re: Is there any interest in a THIN tool steel knife?

I'd like to echo the support for very thinly ground HHG. I've started a thread on this before. I think the GB is one of the best blades to come out of any Spyderco factory, Im just not a fan of the rest of the knife. Spyderco has proven it can do it pretty much perfectly with the GB/GB2. (at least a...

Re: Military 2

Just let me get a Military 1 in PE and SE MagnaCut and give it a proper send-off. Peel ply carbon fiber is fine, and if you really wanna get fancy with a real salute to the greatest you can give it a palladium bug in the handle like the Centofante has (and like a previous Forum Military got).
