O I see lol, I didn’t realize that it was a bother for people. So what’s this one then?CE21D630-A7B9-459A-A0F8-26F89F8781D0.jpeg That’s just another wrench in the works! :grin-squint As far as I know, that is the “Manix 83mm” but the early runs were initially labeled “Manix 80mm.” They are the same...

I literally just bought an old school “mini manix” on BF. It’s also called the “manix 80mm” and its a backlock. It’s slightly smaller than the manix 2 but it’s what the manix 2 was evolved from It was “Manix 83mm” and to my point, it has never been named “Mini Manix.” I hear what your saying. I jus...

My response should probably be deleted. My earlier-noted understanding of “cult classic” seems opposite what has guided many responses here.

Just sitting around with a few of my favorite Golden goodies. I think they look pretty good together for a group photo.

They look as comfortable as well-worn jeans.

Had this knife been a midlock, especially without a Boye dent, I could understand the described blade-play. I have many Spydies with a compression lock and can’t even imagine what is described. Were it mine, I’d send it to Golden for the fix.

Sliverax

Jeff, does the Sliverax achieve a negative blade-angle nearing an Ayoob’s?

My experience with each in the OP’s list (I have a Yojimbo, not a YoJumbo) has me agreeing with Nick. You can’t go wrong.

I hasten to say, though, that a Yo’s cutting properties, which are fantastic, may surprise you if you are not familiar with Wharncliffes.

I called customer service and they are in the process of exchanging my box for a premium box. All good so far. Glad to see you’ve modified this thread’s title to lower the temperature for later visitors. Sullying Spyderco’s earned reputation for bending over backwards to make things right, BEFORE t...

I thought MagnaCut made the Military2 Salt pretty much a certainty. As with the imminent PM2 Salt, my concern has been corrosion-resistant liners. The PM2 Salt appears to have answered that concern with full liners, and so, too, Eric’s PM2ization of the Military Model. My remaining concern is the sc...

So it’s your grip, not a pressing of the blade on a surface, that results in the blade playing vertically?

I have a fair-sized herd of Spydies and carry pretty much what happens to appeal. But by year’s end—having spent time with new acquisitions, or with comparisons I want to make, or with subjects of conversation here—my most carried and used is usually a PM2 in a preferred steel (10 at last count). Tr...

Excuse me, I have every right to post my disappointment online. Don’t worry about it. And there in a nutshell is what is wrong with the world today Right, because my example is totally what is wrong with the world today 🙄 Instead, bash me because I clearly didn’t get what I ordered and was disappoi...

Sorry to see the damage. Did you use your 110V Manix on its factory edge? Photos kinda look like factory. I'm not saying it will stop all chipping, but see how your knife performs after several re-sharpenings. Lots of people report better edge stability after the factory edge is gone. My thoughts, ...

Is the movement a one-time deal per opening, or does it repeat when you press?

An original t1 design run with a steel upgrade and black micarta would be just lovely.

Not to say that Sal would unleash a failure-prone knife on us, but I’m sorta devoted to full-tangs in fixies.

One could definitely go on living without a Temperance, but why, when it might make you feel what you felt so long ago

Thanks for this pertinent and compelling comparison.
