Manix, Native & PM2 please

I would be down for a Delica in Magnamax!

Manix for sure! I know there's a love/hate with DLC especially with stainless steels but I love the Black DLC/Green micarta look like with the Blade HQ Shaman I have.

Manix 2XL please... the scales can be anything at this point lol. Just give us the 2XL size... Heck for that matter just throw the MagnaMax blade in a box and I will get the rest lol... I am not trying to be difficult lol

Where does this leave k390? Will it be preferable in any circumstance?

K390 sharpens easily and works with almost all edge grits and works with thin edges. Will MM also?

Also will MM be available in the Endura series?

I sincerely hope that MM makes it to seki. Really sad that MC has not. Delica would make me so happy.

Does anyone know when we will see a Magnamax Native Chief?

Please this. I would be really sad if the only knives in MagnaMax are the ones in MagnaCut. Seki doesn't have anything here yet, so that would be awesome.

My favorite steel is K390 except for the corrosion aspect, which is why I go with other steels for what I carry on me. I'd love to carry a MagnaMax delica.

Agree with all of this, please bring MagnaMax to the Seki lineup!
And ideally MagnaCut would come to Seki too while we wait for MagnaMax

a 4inch caly has been on my wishlist for awhile, so thats what Id like to see.

My top wish list are what (PE) Spydies I carry the most the last couple years . . . (all in AWT scales)
Native 5
Sage 5
Para 3
Shaman
Manix 2

. . . I also carry an SE Spyderco EVERY day, either FRN Chap, Hawkbill Ti DF3 or Ti UKPK.

Thanks! My tastes have evolved quite a bit over the years, particularly in terms of overall knife size, the handle/scale material & especially handle shape. I generally do not carry anything that isn't "skinny" and either Titanium or Aluminum... but some only like Micarta, G10 or FRN, good on them (to each their own) variety & choice is a wonderful thing!

A personal survival knife (PSK) sized fix blade would be nice. Especially since it will probably be hard to get a mule considering how fast the Magnagacut mule sold out. So a 3” fixed blade would be great.

Subvert, Kapara, Native, Native Chief, Millie II.

It makes sense to start w/ the Golden line for sure - PM2, Para 3, Native, Manix, etc. al.

I know that we are getting way, way ahead of ourselves, because we are making many assumptions, and the MM Mule isn't even released yet. However, I'm totally good with it, because if the steel is as good as the initial beta-beta testers are finding, then it's worth sussing these things out now and being loud about it so that Spyderco can get an initial jump on the market before anyone else really responds. They are also in an excellent position to utilize a steel of this caliber, whereas I'm not sure how many other knife manufacturers are.

I'm not usually one for 'hype steels' and I'd have preferred the name not be so gimmicky sounding, but I'm 100% behind supporting someone's work and efforts that so widely serve and benefit the knife comminity.

Forgot to mention that MagnaMax would be a perfect excuse to bring back the Sage 4, just saying…

Hi All,

Certainly quite the wish list. Would it be possible for someone to make a concise list of the requests. Only a few of the staff follow the forum so it's easier to share this information on a list, than with 6 pages on our forum. I can' say too much right now, but it's entirely possible that some might happen.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I would love MagnaMax to be my first Native 5 G10. Obviously this would be also great on a Bodacious, fell in love with my SPY27 version.

Being a high edge retention steel but with thus-far unknown toughness, I would think it could be a great fit for the Kevin Smock folder and it's hollow grind. If it is tougher like K390, then a G10 Manix 2 in standard and XL versions with full stainless liners (because I love the weight!). I'm not a PM2/3 guy yet but I don't see how you can release such a desirable steel and not hit the flagship model. Maybe a Sage 6? I'm a sucker for the leaf blade profile
