What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Paramilitary 2 with Camo handle. Non black blade. It's my first "good" knife. Not one of the budget/bargain knives.
Really wish I had bought the Manix LW. More the blade shape I prefer. Worry about the tip on the PM2.

manix 2 in s110v for me. trying really hard to like this knife -- found it for a great price at gpknives.com -- but the lock is just too stiff to actuate. developing blisters on my fingers trying to break it in.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
My first one was like this also, mine seemed to loosen up a little with use but is still kinda stiff. The second one I got was much better and far easier on the fingers. I've heard of guys snipping a coil or two off the spring on some models, unfortunately this one in pinned.videorecipes wrote:manix 2 in s110v for me. trying really hard to like this knife -- found it for a great price at gpknives.com -- but the lock is just too stiff to actuate. developing blisters on my fingers trying to break it in.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I can use all of my Manix knives one handed. Thumb and forefinger together from both sides on the cage helps, but I can do it with just my thumb if I need to. My S110V LW is a little less stiff than my CruWear Manix. I do have fairly decent calluses built up though due to construction work (Climbing towers and working extensively with ropes definitely helps in this regard).

Today I'm carrying my Cento 3 in the right pocket, with the Ocelot getting left pocket duty.

I have been lazy lately and haven't been rotating much so these are what has been riding in my pocket almost everyday. Para2 in the RRP and Delica in my cargo or carpenter pocket and Ladyhawk in my watch pocket. Stellar combo!!!

The Ladyhawk is great in the garden.
Opens top soil, peat, chicken feed and dog food bags like a zipper.
Sometimes I cut a little banding at work. :D

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
The usual PM2 in the pocket, but the new addition today is the G10 CF Dog Tag (just arrived)
I really like this one, think it's the best looking of the three...my multi color one won't be getting much (if any) play anymore.Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

still carrying the manix 2 s110v -- happy to say that the lock is breaking in nicely. it'll probably never be soft, but good enough. either that or my forearm is just getting JACKED haha.
