I dont think they ever made a knife that was ugly and not really good at anything.

I'm 5' 10" tall, weigh 191lbs. Big into strength training and sports. Love heavy metal/deathcore music, a bit brash and very short tempered but have the biggest heart for animals. I consider myself strong and soft, but also very dependable (11 years at my job and have only missed 1 day of work)

I've never considered this, a very fun thread! Could I possibly be my favorite knife!?! A Manix 2!?

Micro Dyad.

I'm small, weird and don't have many friends.

But, I'm handy to have around and I look sharp!

If I'm the Tatanka and it's discontinued, hopefully that's not bad news for me! :)

Certainly not, just makes you more special, my friend! :)

I am always carrying a Manix 2, Manix XL or PM2. Three of my favorites for sure. Usually gravitate to the PM2 but that bigger Manix is growing on me-

6’4” and about 380...former college o-lineman and kinda fringe powerlifting type when society isn’t locked down.

Are there any Spydercos that are nonsensically over weight and overbuilt for no practical purpose? Doesn’t seem like their style.

I’d probably be a blunt and rusty Manbug, cause I’m a little bloke that doesn’t like to do anything that even vaguely resembles work. :rolleyes:

I would be the Utility Knife 6.5 black plain edge. Lots of potential but mostly stay in the drawer. Worst part is I would be a foreign knockoff, not to disparage any country that fakes Spyderco product. I just do not quite feel like a real Spyderco fan yet. That will change once I can fill the 4 pockets in my jeans with Spyderco, forum posts hit double digits, and I come up with a real world, intelligent yet practical question that Sal answers. If I hit all three, then I would transform into a genuine Tenacious, but still plain edge.

Best part, I would be a good copy from a great company and I would never even know, no one would know until a Spyderco aficionado kindly pointed it out.
Spyderco: Tenacious G10, Waterway, Para 3 Spy27, Pacific Salt H1, Catcherman, In the Mule Team Stable(Z-Max, Z-Wear, S45VN, Magnacut, SRS13/SUS405, M398, Aeb-l, 15v)
