Yes, but I liked that double reflection of the Urban. Ghost images in the machine

cheers

My 3 favorites plus their little brother that the kind USPS lady just dropped off. :spyder:

When you can't decide what to carry you bring them all with you!
Dice, domino, manix jade m4, manix maxamet, manix s30v, pm2 s30v, sliverax, endura wave

Today's mail

So your order arrived! :) Looks like a great trio.

Would love to hear how you like that big blade, and the Maxamet!

Just waiting on the little remora that fits in the front of the sheath for the bk9. The bk9 feels remarkably well balanced in the hand for such a thick looking blade. The grip while comfortable could use to have more texture so I may use a soldering iron to add some. Will wait to see just how it is after I get to abuse it some.

For now, this is where I stand:

I think I need some purple (wife has the purple ladybug) and red (from DLT when it becomes available again).

Here is my whole collection


Manix 2 is my favorite platform

Attila,

Is that Native on the right, under the Urban, modified? It looks like there's a bit of curve to the top of the blade.

Chris,

Yup, that is an old Native from around 2009 I think. That was my second Spyderco, and I used it for all manner of tasks while in the Navy. Unfortunately, the tip broke off, so I used the only abrasive tool available at the time (5" bench grinder) to put an ugly tip on it. That new tip required the spine to get ground down as well, leaving me with an aesthetically displeasing, but functionally pointy blade. I wish it hadn't come to that, but I knew of no alternative at the time.

Atilla,

I gotta tell ya, I kinda dig the way you fixed that knife. If the belly swept all the way up to the tip, it would almost look like a baby Chinook.

^^+1

looks like the "Reverse Tanto" on the BM940, Osborne Rift and others

very nicely finished to my eyes

Shoot, forgot the green Endura.

My current “user” lineup.

Thanks guys! Despite not being the ugliest in the world, I'd rather have a full length blade. To that effect, I've been pondering making a 3V blade for it. That would be a gamble since idk the pivot dimensions, and whether I can purchase a suitable replacement. Even if I do find the courage, it won't be done anytime soon.

Good grief holeshot!! :eek: :)

Nice collection going there, basedlarrydavid. You obviously favor the Military. :) Gotta get me one sometime...

Thanks man! Love the Millie, I wish there were more that have earth tone scales (grey, green, brown). So I’ve started to expanding my collection to PM2s and Para 3s. After the Brown PM2s and Para 3s come out this month, I’ll only need the Maxamet and Cruwear PM2s and the grail Foliage Green/D2 Military to finish out the collection!

I'm so happy this forum is still going, there are some wonderful pictures on here.

I have been patiently awaiting my Native 5 Fluted Titanium (which should be in today, hopefully before I go to work), my lc200n mule (tomorrow!), and now I have preordered a Knifecenter Exclusive (that I didn't know existed until yesterday) Satin Cruwear pm2.

Will follow up with pictures, thank you guys for participating.
