how many of us carry a HEAVY folder daily?
I never heard of Sypderco until someone gave me a Police SS many years ago. I thought, "this is way too big and heavy for me" but just for fun I clipped it on. I forgot it was there. Then I got interested in Spyderco and ordered a Calypso Jr. (more my size) and the rest is history. My latest Spyderco is the Dodo. The Manix looks like a monster and not for cliping on to PJs but surely has a niche in the heavy-duty work place and should become a classic.

:eek: :eek: Now there's a woman who commands respect!! What happened to the Pink Civilian??dialex wrote:My wife's EDC is a Chinook (first generation). She usually carries it in the right rear pocket of her jeans and she doesn't feel uncomfortable with that little knife though she is a pretty slim figure. :)

That knife has more teeth than spasmodic dentist!! Looks like part of a drive gear from a Varian M2000 cluster sputter deposition load arm drive motor. (I should talk..... I've sent my Extrema Ration Fulcrum through the wash once or twice. It sounds like a full armored cavalvary frontal assault when the spin cycle kicks in. How do you forgot you were carring tank for a day?? :confused: )
When I said that mercy stood
Within the border of the wood
I meant the lenient beast with claws
And bloody swift dispatching jaws.
Death Before Decaf! ! :spyder:

I don't care so much about the weight of a knife but rather about the handle length and width. At certain dimensions, I find it becomes uncomfortable in the front pocket (I sit a lot). This is why I moved the Lil'T to a belt sheath. There it could be twice as heavy for all I care. But even on a folder which I would mainly carry in a belt sheath, I wouldn't want to miss the clip.
I am leaving in two days for Germany, but man, as soon as I am back in November, I am going to order a Manix!!!! (Speaking of large folders :D )

SS Police is a totally different story from chinooks. As it's very slim and got a smooth surface on the handle, it slips into pocket easy and rides in the pocket comfortablly.bell wrote:I never heard of Sypderco until someone gave me a Police SS many years ago.

Carry a big knife, walk softly...
I carried my Commander for about a month. Great knife, the wave feature got in the way, I too have big hands. It was just too heavy (and big)
for e-day carry. I really like a slim profile in a knife. 90% of my knives are tactical, so if I have to discreetly carry one or three....well, it needs to be
comfortable in my hand as well as pocket.Pocket clips are a wonder to behold.
It will be my Endura clip-it for me for a while.

Considering that I often carry a firearm, any knife I carry seems very light in comparison. I find that I can pretty much carry any of my knives while wearing anything in my wardrobe.
Another thought: a large knife can do anything a small knife can do, but a small knife cannot do everything a large one can do.
And finally....I like a knife that I can actually feel when I'm carrying it. I'm not saying I want it to drag my pants to my ankles, mind you. But a solid knife just "feels" better, more reassuring.
Samo, nice SnG! What generation is it? I have a 5.

The Native III is the largest EDC folder I have - if I need anything bigger I carry a fixed blade eg Moran FB01. Being vertically challenged with small hands any folder over 4.5" closed feels uncomfortable to me. The Native is big enough to do all I ask of it. I have considered the ParaMilitary and Lil Temperance but keep coming back to the Native - maybe a ParaManix??

Alllllrighhhht Samo! That Sng is awsome. If there is anyone who can use a knife like that it, is you. So do you carry it in a tool box, a shopping cart, a special shoulder holster or what? You are the man :D .
Chinook II???
Ok, Ok I keep hearing the accolades of the Chinook II. I have a lot of Spydies but I have not had the pleasure/honor of owning a Chinook II. I hear that when they switched from 440 V to S30V that it made a profound difference. I will make it point to put it on my ever growing " must have" list.
I just got my first Military in the mail today ( the S30 V combo edge). Please ( all of you Chinook II fans) tell me how the Military and Chinook II stack up for a heavy duty EDC. I'm listening. Which would be the all around best? :cool: :spyder: :)

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.
