I ordered my first manix 2 yesterday. This one is in 52100 steel. I also ordered a set of custom micarta scales for it.

Ooooooooo...definitely post some pics! I've got the same knife coming, actually out for delivery today. I'm digging the Gray/Black combo.
Sadly, my wife says I can take it out and inspect it and make sure it's ok...but can't have it until my birthday (May 27th) This is going to be the ultimate tease :o

Yojimbo 2! Finally
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Happy early Birthday! Great score on that Manix before they are all gone. I also made a bday purchase for myself last night, and wifey told me the exact same thing. I can inspect them, but back in the box they go until the 2nd.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:36 amHoustonB77 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 7:22 amI ordered my first manix 2 yesterday.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Happy early Bday to you as well! At least you don't have to wait an entire month!! Thankfully I have a couple other Manix's too keep me occupied, but I really want that one in my pocket!! First knife in 52100. I gotta try to butter her up and see if I can sway her to give in haha!DirtMcGirt wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:31 amHappy early Birthday!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Just as awesome as I was hoping for!! Black liners are a great look as well. Wasn't very sharp out of the box to my surprise though. A couple minutes on the Sharpmaker solved that.
Also, a 30 minute massage/light scratching while watching TV tonight will allow me to have it now and not wait for my birthday haha!

I'd post a pic of my new Millie and it's family but I haven't worked out this pic hosting thing yet lol. I'm one of those Gen-X'ers that didn't quite pick up the computer skills that others did.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 3:51 pmJust as awesome as I was hoping for!!

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
KC Exclusive. I own the Grey in the full blown Military and I am not impressed how dirty it gets so swiftly but not bothered by it either I can always scrub it.
I can see why people make such a fuss over Cruwear that steel is really incredible and exceptional. It took me 2 weeks to dull the factory blade and it happened by accident cutting open a box with bottles and caps the blade went up against both and then 20 strokes on the Sharpmaker brown rods either side and it was good to go again.
No chipping or deformation to the blade either.

Cruwear and the sharpmaker are best friends that's for sure they get along real well.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
I sure will. I plan on using it at work tomorrow. It's my understanding it doesn't hold the edge extremely well, but is a breeze and very easy to sharpen?...which sounds like BD1 steel to me, that I enjoy using.JonLeBlanc wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 5:48 pmOh wow thanks for the pic, and glad you got ur knife now!

I clean up and touch up every knife everyday after carrying them because I'm a bit OCD, so it doesn't bother me if it doesn't have amazing edge retention...but I suppose doesn't allow me to fully test a steel until it's actually truly dull. But now I'm rambling haha.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Yeah thats pretty much it; not stellar edge retention, but conversely it's easy to sharpen. It certainly won't dull too much over a days worth of use, so if you touch up every day you'll be fine. Additionally, the edge polishes to a mirror quite easily, if you like that sort of thing. In fact, if all you use is an ultra-fine micron compound on leather that WILL happen eventually.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 6:52 pmI sure will. I plan on using it at work tomorrow.

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Just got my Chaparral. Man is this thing skinny. It's a great size, but I wish it were just a little bit thicker.
Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?
Haha I just had the same experience and I disliked it enough to send it back and I am grabbing one of the last Sage 2s my dealer has instead.
