I want to see a new titanium compression lock aswell, I hope that's what the larger Caribbean is. No holes in the scales though.bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 11:15 amContoured scales?
Fluted Titanium with integral compression lock?
This is contrary to popular belief and brothers SpyderEdgeForever and Pelagic are working on a Sheepsfoot PM2 with Tanto tip and possible serrated edge as I type.

It takes some getting used to, but with practice it should become second nature. I use the method of keeping my index finger in the spydiehole to close all of my backlocks. This lets me ensure the blade doesn't swing into my fingers, because I can control how much it travels manually.Tucson Tom wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 12:44 amThanks Vivi --
You set me to practicing. The reach to the hole for the backlock is tricky, and I have to take care so my other fingers don't wander into the way of the closing blade. The same is true of the CBBL if I try to use a finger to push it close. Both can be done nicely if the knife drops free. My Manix drops free with ease. The Manix backlock only does so if you really fully depress the lock bar. So, thanks for showing the way.
But I still maintain that the compression lock is literally made for easy one hand closing.

I find the backlock very easy to close with one hand, but that´s probably just because it is my favorite and byfar most used locks.Vivi wrote:

Except, then came the Para 3, which came and broke the speed of light.steeljustice wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:58 amOne: improve the Spyderco Pm2.

Really I couldn't have said it any better myself. Even with all the fanfare and "hoopla" going forth about the PM3 model I just have to seriously scratch my head because personally when they shortened the blade on the PM 3 it just made me cringesteeljustice wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:58 amOne: improve the Spyderco Pm2.
