I love the idea of it but the positioning of the hook/clip bothers me a little. I'm sure my aversion to it is based on me imagining it being more of a hindrance to cutting and sharpening than it actually is.

I actually ending up cutting the hook/clip off my old Snap-It years ago for the reason you just mentioned.Surfingringo wrote:I love the idea of it but the positioning of the hook/clip bothers me a little.

What I love about the design is the hook allows the knife to be clipped to a pfd, lanyard, boat, clothing or whatever. That is an ideal feature for many of my saltwater fishing activities and I can imagine it being very useful for all sorts of other activities. I would love to see them make a clip like this that could be added to the existing barrel bolt hole on the salt 1 and pacific salt!!! I would buy a bagful of those!!
I don't see how that would really work. The PM2 seems like it still allows comfy usage without choking up into the choil, for people so inclined. On a sub-3" design, there won't be room for four fingers.Z2KCT wrote:That's what I was hoping for.SpyderNut wrote:
From what we've heard, it sounds like the PM3 would be uniformly "shrunken" from the larger PM2 size.
That was my first take too. And now I notice that, holding my CF Manix at a sharp angle in diffuse light, the straight lines of the woven pattern show up much like they do in Wouter's pics. Never really noticed that before. So it appears we're sending them the CF (assuming it's made in the US) along with S30V. Maybe this has already been happening with some of the previous models and I just didn't pick up on it.Brock O Lee wrote:Looks like solid peel ply cf to me, like you get on the Golden knives.DougC-3 wrote:I'm a little confused about the carbon fiber on the Sage 5.

Yeah, I used to think the same about the old gen version and this is basically why I do not own a Snap-It, but dunno... the design has kinda grown on me.Surfingringo wrote:I love the idea of it but the positioning of the hook/clip bothers me a little.

I would be great for sure, but to me it looks like the pivot screw is there only for tension adjustment / maintenance on the blade and internal parts, while the snap itself is fused unto the body. Maybe someone that has attended the meet could chime in with their impression on this?Sithus1966 wrote: If you look at the last 3 pictures the snap looks like a separate piece, not molded.

These folders are not meant to be slicers.I imagine they are designed mostly for climbers and/or fisherman with a few tasks in mind: to cut a cord or some fibrous material, to open a food package, things like that.I am going to purchase at least one SE Snap-it and looking forward for a salt remote-release.I'm a sucker for saltsSurfingringo wrote:I love the idea of it but the positioning of the hook/clip bothers me a little.

Agreed with Sithus. That is my thought as well.Sithus1966 wrote:Surfingringo wrote:I love the idea of it but the positioning of the hook/clip bothers me a little.

Yes, the Wichard clip is a separate piece. In fact, at one time, you could buy one attached to a leather fob with a key ring from the folks who make the Snap-It for Spyderco (G Sakai). IIRC, it was called a Fook. :rolleyes: Something tells me Wouter may have (or have had) one or more of them.SpyderNut wrote:Agreed with Sithus.
