Magnetic Monday : Spyderco T-Mag from 2007, with carbon fiber scales. This is one of my oddball Spydies, it’s a slip joint with an embedded rare earth magnet to hold the blade open. It’s the first and last time I saw such a magnetic lock in a Spyderco knife, so I guess it’s sort of an experimental thing.
In terms of usage, it’s actually like the UKPK with forefinger positioning in the choil to fully prevent blade closure. The ricasso says “Golden, Colorado USA Rare Earth”
I gifted one of those to my dad. They were on close out when they got discontinued and I picked up a few because I thought they were unique. Pretty nice ergonomics, though I was always concerned the magnet might not be good to have around debit cards, phones, thumb drives etc.
Yes, the ergonomics of the T-mag is very good. I, too, have the same concerns about the magnet and when I do carry this knife, I make sure it’s never in the same pocket as my wallet & phone
I just ordered a Manbug Wharncliffe. They look very useful
Great choice, carry mine EVERY DAY at home in whatever pants/shorts I'm wearing around the house. You won't be disappointed and will be surprised how much it can actually handle if I you give it a shot!
Yup it definitely punches above it’s weight, just make sure to check your pockets or it’ll end up in the wash

Had that happen to a BM Bugout. At least the Micarta scales were clean again

I've already got 2 Manbug and 2 Ladybugs. I'll be adding the Wharncliffe to my 'bug stable
