Micro-Melt PD#1 Burgundy Sprint Run Spydies In Stk

[RamZar]

I've had the K390 Manbug on my keychain for over a year, and it's great, except that it's been pitting from my sweat. Uncoated Cruwear has never given me a problem though, so coated PD#1 should be great. Having a Manbug on my keys is really nice for those times that I need a knife with a small radius belly, as my primary usually has a pointier tip.

ManBug is ideal on the keychain. I’ve had various ManBug models on my keychain. The ZDP-189 one rusted quickly around the pivot. I went with the H-1 Sheepsfoot SpyderEdge for quite a while. Worked very well but I needed a little straight edge at the tip so now I’m carrying VG-10 Wharncliffe SpyderEdge. I’d like to see ManBug Wharncliffe SpyderEdge in H-2, LC200N or MagnaCut.

Manbug is the perfect around the house knife. Drop in your athletic shorts, sweats and forget about it until you need it. Willing to bet it's more than capable to handle most people around here's everyday tasks. They're just afraid to realize it!

I so wish there was a serrated edge manbug with the curved blade

Got my Stretch 2 XL LW in today! Just an incredible knife. It needs to be held and used to be believed.



By the way, for me and my weak pockets, the stock clip is a bit tight and seems to snag on them. I slapped on an MXG Gear Ti clip on my VG10 version and love it. Slightly shorter, a little less obtrusive, and less snagging while remaining secure. It's item number 102071 if anyone else is intrigued. I ordered a black coated clip to put on this new Stretch. Here's what the one I already have looks like:

Some round diamond files and a little patience will give you what you want.

Anyone know of any Labor Day sales for the Police 4? I'm tempted to pick up a back up.

I wouldn't expect big discounts on sprint run knives, but I could be wrong.

That’s what I thought but didn’t want to assume, thanks!

I'm jealous! One of mine made it as far as the local post office today, but not in time for delivery. I have to wait until TUESDAY! The other one won't arrive until Wednesday. It's gonna be a loooooong holiday weekend.

I feel your pain.

Whenever someone picks up a manbug, could you post some photos please? Thanks in advance!

I ordered mine from SMKW when it was in stock and it still hasn’t shippped; it now shows out of stock so no clue when it will arrive…

I imagine that it's just not possible for a smaller company to ship things the same day that orders are placed. Sprints and Exclusives probably throw a monkey wrench into their operations. The big dealers with dedicated shipping departments probably have an easier time of it. My momma always told me that patience was a virtue... I'm still working on it.

Just received my PD#1 Police. A really nice example of a Seki backlock! Even grinds, decent action out of the box. The color is like the last sip of a deep red wine that dried on the bottom of the glass overnight ^^, definitely more plum than straight up burgundy. Oh, and the coating is real nice! Don't know about durability, but it has a nice satin feel and look. Can't wait for the stretch to arrive in the EU

Only two cons I've found, both minor and gonna be gone soon after I put my edge on it - the factory edge is on a wonk and off center and it hits the little backlock spring post in the handle (barely, a tiny roll). At least it's nicely sharp

I'd say the coating is good. I'm not generally a coating guy, but wanted to try the steel and have a lotta love for the P4LW. So I got it.
I've been carrying and using my PD#1 P4LW for 3-ish?? weeks now. I ordered from the first batch that hit the site, from knifeworks. Anyway - every day, three-ish weeks, mostly in the pocket (at work, in the yard, riding my bicycle, everywhere except pt), and in the waistband when doing pt (though I do not carry it on my 4+hour runs, which I don't actually count as pt - oddly enough).
I use it at work, in the yard, in the kitchen, in stores, etc... Zero issues with corrosion. That's anywhere on the coating, OR on the edge. I've thinned the edge bevel down noticeably from factory, and it's handling it just fine. I keep a 300-ish grit edge on it also - no issues there either, but boy it sure does BITE. Feels good on the stone, and deburrs easily enough.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a linerless FFG P4LW Salt (LC200N or Magnacut) Pretty Please.

I was still on the fence when these dropped on Lamnia. Hopefully Lamnia will get another batch because I'm on the fence no more.

A linerless FFG P4LW salt was the first thought that entered my mind when I got into Spyderco some 6-7 years ago and saw the P4LW in their lineup.
More than a few knives has come and gone since then, and while being quite content with my current selection, I'd sure have a spot for such a version of the P4 if it ever came to be.

Possibly an unpopular opinion but I’d much prefer a linered Salt P4LW, a la the Caribbean or PM2 Salt. I value both the heft and extra burliness the liners give a knife, especially on longer blades. If I’m carrying a big ole knife I’m generally doing something a bit more at the rough and tumble end of the cutting spectrum. I’ve finally come to terms with my SE S2XL Salt having such a light handle, but I certainly baby it a bit more than my SE P4LW (rabid little pocket chainsaw that it is).

If lamnia doesn't get them then coutellerie-tourangelle are supposed to receive some in September

[juggler]

coutellerie-tourangelle are supposed to receive some in September

They already have some: the Endura and Endela are OOS now, but they've just received the Stretch, the Police and the Delica.

[TABA68]

Endela is still available at knifestock for good price 126 eur
