What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

I like it. :cool:

Yeah it's a fantastic design and rides so well in the pocket. Been cutting down cardboard boxes and it's just lasering through them.

I might as well start posting here. Been lurking since the spring.

Carried my Zome Dragonfly today. It's a small knife at 3.33" closed, but it functions just like a bigger one. Weightless too. Clip and choil make it much better in use than the Ladybugs I've had before (cheapest Japan Spyderco is why I bought them.

This one just arrive this afternoon, so it is now in my pocket. I've been enjoying my REX 45 Native 5 LW-- carrying it at work this week. The Manix 2 is a new model for me. I once handled the G10 model in a shop. I find the Manix LW to be quite compelling from a value, weight, and price perspective. REX 45 is some good stuff.

We'll see how i like the model in the longer run. My initial impressions are favorable. :spyder: :cool:

Those Rex45 Manix sprints are a really good value. I've been tempted to get one to try Rex45 but I have that M4 Manix XL to play around with once fall arrives.



Did about 75 miles today

I'm toting the left hand PM2 and the K390 Lady Bug, today. Yesterday, it was the Smock.

What a lucky man I am: High up with the Endela yet again...:)

Beautiful! I can almost imagine the cold fresh mountain air. Where is this?

Great pic, Wartstein! :cool:

Thanks, Cambertree and nerdlock! :)

Where is this?:

It is called the Tennengebirge ("Tennen-mountains"), a not too well known mountain range in Salzburg:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennen_Mountains
While the wiki-statements about climbing and extreme ski touring routes are very true, not so much the part about "numerous trails and "many mountain huts". The latter is only true for the hillsides leading up to the plateau, up there are very few marked trails and only two shelters (which are not managed huts furthermore, so there is no host up there).

What the Tennengebirge is really famous for: The largest ice cave in the world:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisriesenwelt
in this link you can watch a clip about the cave: https://www.eisriesenwelt.at/en.html
The cave is a heavily touristic spot halfway up on the otherwise pretty lonesome mountainrange, there is a cable car almost up to the cave.
From the cave a pretty airy and not too easy trail leads further up on the plateau, but not many people go there.

The second thing especially Americans would know the Tennegebirge for: These mountains can be seen in a scene of "sound of music", a movie very popular in the US, while here in Austria most people are not aware of it...
The first pic in this link https://www.salzburgerland.com/en/sound ... il-werfen/ shows the Tennengebirge in the background...

Well, and now I think the Salzburg board of tourism should pay me... :D

That was very comprehensive, thank you for the detailed reply Wartstein :) I like hiking and climbing mountains also, and I do dabble in a bit of caving myself, though we do not have that kind of majestic view your place has. Thank you for sharing. I do hope someday, after all this COVID stuff, I can visit these beautiful places you have posted here. You are very lucky to live near these amazing sceneries.

family outing to embrace the nature :)

I've been trying to shake up my rotation. But, I always seem to pull the Micro Dyad out of my pocket, when it's time to cut something...

[VooDooChild]

Good day for the Siren.

Really cool! Save that one for next year's calendar contest!

[TkoK83Spy]

Thanks guys! I was looking for MFG info on some impellers and then that idea just hit me. Guess I'll give it a try in another thread now :p

[Cambertree]

Wartstein: thanks for that fascinating post, my friend. I really enjoyed reading the wiki articles and watching the footage of that amazing ice cave.

When you do hikes/climbs up onto the peaks and plateaus, are they mostly day trips, or are they multi day adventures?

That Laufen hut looks pretty palatial compared to some of the cattlemens huts we have up in the Victorian high country, which are basically corrugated iron shacks where you can sleep and light a fire out of the weather and that’s it.

Often you will wake in the morning to find the water jugs frozen solid inside the hut. The plus side is sometimes you can step out of the door in the morning and shoot your lunch right there for later in the day!

Rick, it’s been a real pleasure to see your composition and photo quality go from strength to strength lately. Man, you’ve been posting some great images.

A quick pic from a bike ride today:

Nice score there, bro. :cool: :spyder:

I’ll be interested to hear what you think of that knife.

I’ve never handled a LW Manix, and the REX45 runs have eluded me so far...

You prompted me to bring out my pair of Manixes today:
