Anyone have an Autonomy 2 and Caribbean they can get me some shots of? Preferably the leaf blade Caribbean since it'll be more similar.

Man, I really wish they were the same. It's splitting hairs but I want all the edge I can get. Still, I think this will be an inevitable purchase for me, I just worry I won't choose it over my Autonomy 1.

Pacific Salt 2 H1 gen 2 (top - 77g), Endura 4 FRN ZDP-189 (bottom - 91g) - both with REK straight spine mod. Closed length are the same - blade length on the Endura is slightly longer.

I really am surprised the Mantra wasn't a much bigger deal. I guess it can maybe be blamed on detent strength and bearing issues but overall it was an awesome design.

I wish it was more popular as well. I had the bearing issues and had to send it back to Spyderco to fix, but it's been great since.

I think it could have done better if it wasn't a flipper as well. The handle was too small and uncomfortable with the flipper tab taking up so much space. The ergos are night and day better for me with the tab removed.

I bought two backups for it, hopefully I dont lose any and they last me a lifetime.
