I like your latest group of pictures. Very nice diversity using unique background. Dan
Some were contest ones and the others were made for the contest but just did not make it true the selection proces.

Re: A picture Tale of many Manixes and there Friends
The classics are the heart and soul of Spyderco. Not that i do not like the newer models but they do not give the same feeling for some reason. Perhaps because of the change of times everything feels hasted and less love is put in to things. That is how i feel most of the times. I wish i could afford more classics but prices are sky high and i am not in the right time in my life to chase such things.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 9:00 amThanks you , very thoughtful of you and very much appreciated!

Also about the newer stuff i can not say i have bin blown away or got hyped for a model since the Nirvana so maybe its not spyderco but just me.

I would love to have some new models in Titanium frame lock but can’t justify price being a lefty .

The resilience is an amazing model.I was lucky to scoop this one up second hand so i paid close to nothing and is probably the best “bang for my buck” i will ever find.

Even made a few for Jeff!
The green one was my first custom scale job. ( you can see that because i screwed up the lanyard tube.) Still pains me if i look at it.

This one is for JSumm (Jeff) because we all know how much he loves his polestar!
Re: A picture Tale of many Manixes and there Friends
Oh thanks Apollo! I didn't know you owned one. Such a great all around model. In fact, I may skip out on the new Leaf Jumper I like it so much.

Re: A picture Tale of many Manixes and there Friends
You’re welcome! And yes i have one for a few years now and its my favorite work edc.
I think its my favorite design of Sal himself.
Its the only spydie i love so much of my work knives that i take it as a secondary besides my normal edc’s when i am off work (primary is mostly one of my Manixes ofcourse )
I find it a knife that’s good for all general cutting tasks and its steel holds up sharpness for a good amount of time. Also the linerlock is one of the strongest i have ever had. And price to value its probably one of the best spydies on the market.
