i want a magnacut manix salt above all else.

I got to know: When the MagnaManix is available, having waited for it so patiently for so long, how many are you going to buy?

Honestly, when this product is available, I think Spyderco should replace their bug logo with a ladybug.

Well, I decided to substantially slim down my array of Spydies yet again lately and am down to "just" 14 (folders, plus one Waterway fixed blade) now...
And I really plan on sticking to that number, at least for a while. And since there are really none left now in my collection/array of users that I could imagine selling, this means no more purchases for the time being...

That said....and BUT... :smirk :winking-tongue ... there are some (fictional or not) options / variants ... of Spydies where there is no way I could resist:

1.) High performance Delica

As I imagine it to be I just have to try one

2.) Any fully serrated Manix LW :
Best would be in BD1N, but Magnacut would be fine too and I do have hopes that an MC Salt version finally WOULD come also in ffg SE

3.)"Sequoia" / "Leaf Jumper XL":
I hope this will finally be kind of a backlock Caribbean!

4.) My all time wish Endura full SE, ffg, regular blade shape and in VG 10
Probably "the" perfect EDC knife for me personally

5.) A Chaparral in full SE:
Must be a cutting monster or at least should be easy to turn it into one with that thin, but strong blade!
And I love the platform anyway!

6.)Chaparral XL
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82492
viewtopic.php?t=85342#p1377379
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

i don't typically buy exact multiples ever. this would be an exception, but probably only two. i want to keep on lw and switch one into a g10 model. we'll see. i could end up buying one as a gift for each of my family members too. that would be a lot.

Right on, boys. I only have one Spydie Edge knife, a P4, and I want to try something out in more civilized dimensions. The LW Manix would be the perfect platform, and Magnacut would be the perfect material. As tempting as the Native 5 is, it's too small for my everyday use.

Well, my usual recommendation:
Endela SE.
Affordable, great serration pattern, roughly Manix size and SE is a really good steel for teeth imo.

My good news and bad news story is I have to play "breadwinner" and help pay off a lot of property taxes and other bills as they come in. I will not be able to buy thousands of dollars in knives in one year, but I am going to stay the course and try to get every Spyderco Native Chief, and buy at least one backup to each one released so far.

My pick is the Native Chief and I am going to stand by that. Might order some more 5x5 Tactical Solutions Pickpockets too...

Yes, the tribe lacks a serrated Chief.

Ha! You lads are funny... and you're probably both right. But neither of those platforms excites me as much as my existing lineup. I don't NEED anything else, so unless it's exactly what I think I want, there's no need to get out my wallet.

Manix 2 LW Magnacut SE. I'm willing to wait.
Even a slab of 15V would do it for me... or even K390.

I just went and bought my first CRK, so my short list is a bit delayed... lol.

Right now, I have so many Spydercos that I can only yearn for vintage ones.
But actually, there is only one on my list, and it has been there for a couple of years now :

- Native 5 CPM154/S90V
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

I'd like a nice G10 native 5. Maybe the fluted cf S90V one or the S110V one (if it comes back into stock in canada). I'm not sure if I'm ready to drop the money on the fluted cf yet, so I might wait for something else.
The enuff 2 K390 is also nice, but I don't have that much use for a fixed blade bushcraft type knife.

I'm looking forward to newer releases for the most part right now.

The short list isn't short enough, but at the top is a Native Chief LW SE. I think.
