Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
I have to give the slight edge to the Manix2 LW S110V over the BBS Exclusive Domino with Blue G-10 and CTS-204P just based on the fact that the Manix2 LW is the best value in the industry, IMO.
I love both knives equally, though. They are definitely my two most carried and will be a hard act to follow for 2015.

Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
My vote would have to be the Slysz Bowie. Followed closely by the Rubicon which I am still getting to know. It's been a fantastic year for new Spydies!! Looking forward to the DogTag, Chubby and K2 in 2015. And hopefully the Spydechef!! Keep Marcin's designs comin!

Tatanka: what can I say? It's a big piece of . . . steel! Practical for me it ain't, but it's just fun to own the biggest in someone's product line. May the PowerLock make its appearance elsewhere.
Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
Many excellent ones were delivered in 2014 including ParaMilitary2 Composite Blade, Chaparral Stepped Titanium, Rubicon, Lil LionSpy, Slysz Bowie, K2, Native5 S110V/CF, Yojimbo2 S90/CF, Chubby, BattleStation, Manix2 S110V LW, etc.
Of these my favorite is Slysz Bowie. Simple, elegant, refined and smooth.
Rubicon & Chaparral Stepped Titanium win for their respective gorgeous CF and Titanium scales.
PM2 CB for the technology win.
Manix2 S110V for the bargain champ.

Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
Yeah I know and I've been eyeballing it for some time >> but I won't get one until they make it in Spyderedge. It's still been one of my favorite newer Spyder designs in the past 4 years or so. With the possible exception of the K-2 which I like because mainly of the blade steel.gbelleh wrote:But the Ulize was a 2012 release.
What can I say?? I still like many of the older school Spyders the best. Those GOLDEN ERA SPYDERS 1998-2003 are what I cut my teeth on :D :cool:

S110V Manix 2 for me as well. For performance and value all in a lightweight EDC package it could be a candidate for one of the #1 Spydies of the last decade.

Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
I just counted the votes, and...
Currently the Manix 2 lightweight S110V is in top place, closely followed by the Slysz Bowie and the Rubicon. Keep voting, guys! Maybe we will shut it down after one week and declare a "best knife of 2014?"

Seems like we're doing fine counting the votes entry by entry (BTW I guess we're voting!). I wouldn't want to exclude any models by any sort of number limit for the poll imposed by the forum software. Not a big surprise to me the top contenders are the Slysz Bowie, Rubicon and S110V Manix 2, all awesome knives!!

Millie!
Wait what I can only do new knives? Lame.
Ok in that case and fully knowing my vote is wasted I say K2. 10V titanium slicer, yes I want.
If the Manix was just a little bit easier to actually buy I might have gone with it for the value to 110V ratio.

On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.
Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

Re: 2014 Spyderco Knife of the Year!!
I will put the Rubicon in my top spot, followed closely by the Slysz Bowie. Cruwear Manix and S110V Manix tie for 3rd (althought I prefer the Cruwear model, there's no denying the bang for the buck value of the S110V Manix.)
I think the LW Native 5 deserves an honorable mention. S35VN, a very solid lock in a 2.5oz. knife for less than $80 is one heck of a deal.
