My only reference is KnifeSteelNerds. Listed as ingot and no reference to PM. Given it is used in the budget folders it seems likely.Traditional.Sharpening wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 7:16 amIt was my understanding that BD1N is actually a powder steel but I can't recall where I may have seen that or what the source is.

You know that even the BD1N Manix 2 LW costs more in the US with a coated blade?
I think Manixes have pretty good prices anyway in general, but this 4V one is an amazing deal imo.
And I admit I am not a steel expert, but Spydercos 4V in my Goddard is anything else but "overrated" as far as I can tell.
Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
LOL!!!
I'm embarrased to admit that I think I only carried my SNK G10 Manix 2 maybe once.
I keep all my SNK knives in a locked drawer along with a bunch of other knives. Often I open that drawer with the intention of grabbing something from SNK to carry. Sometimes I do get one in my pocket but a lot of times I end up seeing something else on my way there and end up putting that in my pocket. I need to learn to stay more focused

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
Well that may be true but the more I think of it I want to say it was Sal posting here that BD1 was a powder metal version of Gingami-1 steel, BD1N being a version of BD1 with added nitrogen. I don't have the time to dig for that reference but it's something one could likely confirm with Spyderco with an email or phone call.Crox wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 11:34 amMy only reference is KnifeSteelNerds.

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
Correct,
BD1 and BD1 are ingot steels.
They are not PM steels.
Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
I still stand by the reason this is priced below the standard BD1N with DLC model is this exclusive was probably commissioned a year or more ago. Meaning they locked in their prices at that time. Not really comparable to today's pricing.
The Blade HQ Non-DLC M4 exclusive released in March of this year was under $117. Which was seen as fantastic at the time, but again was probably commissioned in early 2022 if not earlier.

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
Good deal, thanks for confirming this. I'm recalling now that it was CTS XHP I was thinking of being PM steel instead even though it perhaps isn't obvious coming from Carpenter with their different letter/name structure than Crucible.Deadboxhero wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 1:12 pmCorrect,

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
I definitely should carry all of them more. The 15V manix stopped me rotating Manix(s). When I want a manix I reach for that one.Sharp Guy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 12:34 pmLOL!!!

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
Also I suppose they aren’t subject to MAP on these. They might get aggressive on pricing for name recognition.JSumm wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 2:19 pmI still stand by the reason this is priced below the standard BD1N with DLC model is this exclusive was probably commissioned a year or more ago.

The same two guys always talking so much about steels and sharpening, degrading others, their equipment, the steels, others abilities....a lot of talk, yet have never ONCE posted photos of how great at sharpening they are. Time to put up or shut up fella's. You certainly know who you are at this point...

You know your post really sounds degrading, my friend. Why the aggressive tone? What exactly does a photo do to show someone knows how to sharpen? At best it can show that you can get an even bevel width and good looks to the edge but sharpness is microscopic. If one doesn't get an even bevel width/uniform scratch pattern/mirror polish, are they a fraud?
Are you volunteering to send me some money to purchase a high end USB micro-scope to prove to all the skeptics on the internet that I have been quite successful doing very significant re-profiling and sharpening work for many folks by now that have been nothing but overjoyed at the results and go so far as to send more work my way when they can afford it?
Perhaps if you want someone to do something it would be best to lead by example? I don't know about you but the thought of being told what to do by a grown-man (I assume but given the seemingly childish challenge you've presented here maybe that part is not right) just doesn't motivate me to take action. Maybe you could put a please at the end of it for me?
My goal here is not to degrade others or their equipment, the steels they use or anything else but rather to share what I believe needs to be communicated to help others grow their knowledge. If you don't like my views then, again, I'll point out that there is a very convenient way to ignore me on the forum and you'll never have to have your views challenged again.

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!
I would say your assumption is correct . The contract is set and then the wait begins for when the lot will go into production. May also be a time factor accumulating parts as in blade and production of the unique color of scales .
