Official 2020 Discontinued List
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Yea I thought that was an interesting looking knife but figured there must be something wrong with it because I've NEVER once heard anybody talk about the Magnitude in my 2 years around here.

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I’ve been giving the Junction a closer look with the price drop, but can’t find much about it except some questions on the blade steel. Has anyone actually used this knife? Skinning only or general woods knife?
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I don’t have this one but I have the lil brother, Rubicon. The Carey knives are really well made. Flipping action is good. The are really beautiful. Maybe a bit chunky with that contoured handle for edc use, but doable. Blade is on the thicker side but that helps with good flipping. Never got this one because I already have one similar.
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I have one but have only used it to break down some cardboard. The handle is way to skinny and I just can’t get a comfortable purchase on it no matter what I try. As far as the steel PSF27, I love it. Can’t go wrong with the improved version of D2.

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Just took delivery last night... It's a quite thin and light knife IMO, with a not quite stainless steel. Initial impressions of the ergos are that the handle is a little small, but I didn't have time/excuse to use it last night. I like everything else GB has done some I'm betting in use/carry it will be a good one, especially for the closeout price.
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
It's captivated me enough I've watched some reviews. I don't own any liner lock flippers and don't see myself carrying one over my current lineup but for a fidget toy/collectible it looks really enticing at $180. ETA: Especially as the reviews were posted when it was full price.SF Native wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:03 pmI don’t have this one but I have the lil brother, Rubicon.

Thank you both. I’m not afraid of a re-handle. But I just can’t find any extended use feedback, here or on the tube. It does well in rope cutting, but.... I’m interested in how it would do for general camp duty. My little $18 mora is excelling at that at the moment... :D
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I talked myself into the Magnitude. Seems like a solid flipper and I haven't had good experiences with framelock flippers, I tend to grip them too tight, locking them up. Does anyone know if the screw pattern for the clip matches any other Spyderco's?
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I’m not sure where you’re looking. A few websites had them for $68 and sold out! The SE went quick! I was beat out at one and then I found them at GP and went a little overboard...

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
$68 would be pretty darn good!! Probably all gone by now...
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Cheapest I saw was $78. If you know of any going for under $70 PM me. I ordered some already but I'll grab a few more for that price.
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I got a DLC PE Pac Salt for $62 on the bay. Last I checked they still had some

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I would say go for it if anyone wants an Advocate. Mine is first gen and flips just fine. I think that whole ordeal was blown way out of the water.

Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Monty, did you get the magnitude yet? What do think? Awesome? Ok? Eh?
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Not yet. I saw BHQ sold out though.
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
I recall seeing a review of some knife where they called it "beautifully impractical", which probably sums this one up for me. I can tell just from the pictures that the clip is positioned way too far down for my preference in carry. Fortunately I have EDC pretty well covered, the Magnitude is just going to be for fun, and with the closeout pricing I'm happy I picked one up as a representative of the Taichung collection.
Re: Official 2020 Discontinued List
Is the junction a good all around camp knife of is the handle too thin for that?
