What's Everyone's Latest Spyderco Purchase?
I had a "spur of the moment" idea yesterday to purchase a new Spyderco, and ended up with the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive Manix 2 LW in S90V. I'm curious to know what has been everyone else's latest Spyderco purchase?

Picked this one up second hand from another forum member a while back. Haven't had another purchase in almost a year.

New and improved Military Left Hand:
I already have one from the prior run, but it just seemed like the right thing to do. :)
Need to buy a back-up lefty Para2 while they're available as well, trying to spread things out a bit though.

Found a Meerkat HAP40. Hopefully it will be here by the weekend.
Re: What's Everyone's Latest Spyderco Purchase?
Gayle Bradley 2, ordered Monday from Blade HQ, arrived today with regular shipping. Can't beat that.
I've carried the PM2 since last October as an EDC, and love it. The GB2 is smaller but heavier. Feels great in the hand, looks great, smooth as silk. But I don't know if it will beat out the PM2 as an EDC. Still in the balance.
Just joined this forum today. Fell down the Spyderco hole about a year ago. I'm ashamed to admit that I thought for years that I could get by carrying only old Gerber FS 1s and 2s, old Herters Canadian Patterns (or new old stock if I could find them), and a Tree Brand, Victorinox Spartan, or occasional Benchmade. Then I found Spydercos. Game changer.

Re: What's Everyone's Latest Spyderco Purchase?
Grabbed some back up Pacific Salts when I heard they'd be switching to Endura 4 handles. Might pick up a few more whenever the Pacific Salt 2 materialises.
Re: What's Everyone's Latest Spyderco Purchase?
My latest is a Manix 2 LW with Maxamet blade. I love the Manix 2 platform but bought it mainly for the Maxamet blade which is proving to be a favorite for sharpening and edge holding. It just keeps on cutting!
If the Manix 2 is ever offered with a K390 or a PMA11 blade steel that would easily be my next acquisition.

Welcome again, blockade :) I also owned Tree Brand, Gerber, and Victorinox before I got my first Spyderco.blockade wrote:Thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here.
The last one I received was the same as yours, the CS exclusive orange Manix S90V, and I'm crazy about it! -- my first orange knife. Never thought I'd want an orange one except for rescue or whatever, but it's obvious that I've now been bitten by the orange bug.delican_38 wrote:I had a "spur of the moment" idea yesterday to purchase a new Spyderco, and ended up with the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive Manix 2 LW in S90V.

I have a brown DLC Yojimbo2 waiting for me in my mailbox at home, along with an MXG clip for a hopefully coming Para 3 CruWear, but I'm presently stuck in a building which is under lockdown because of some sort of police standoff and can't go home to get the Yo 2 until this is over. It's been going on for over an hour. Hopefully no one will pilfer my mailbox
