Daniel's Spyderco Hoard

[mrappraisit]

Dan,
All those Manii, Manixes, whatever they are called look awesome. Nice gesture for other knifebros, that means good knife karma coming your way! They look like soldiers lined up for a parade.

i love the group shots dan

[jaislandboy]

impressive Foliage Green pix there Dan, those Manix's were quite an eyeful

[David Lowry]

Thanks for the correction Daniel. I didn't catch that they were the full size Manix.

They do look freakin' awesome though.

Damn near broke my back lifting that USPS delivery box !

Was even worse trying to setup the photos you see. Carefully placing a tank and getting it to stay in one position is amazing. The ones I setup on its edge kept falling down and my wife was fast approaching to find out what the thumping noise was :P

The locks on these are amazing. I only recently managed to find a black G10 Manix (thanks fireman ! ) and I may be mistaken but I think the new batch may even by a tad smoother and a touch stronger ???

For those who haven't yet got one..... go to it NOW ! Or else I might get another couple for myself.

Hey guys....no, not all for me (unfortunately ). I was organising a group buy for a bunch of Aussie Spydie fans.

Who are members of this group :you, your wife, the girls and their future husbands?
Manix is a great knife. One of my friends decided to change his last name to Manix
Manix kicked out Chinook out of his pocket.

photo's to come soon

[ozspyder]

OK guys,

I feel the pain and my neglect of this thread. As per many requests for my lazy bum to get off and do some work, here are a couple of very quick and nasty shots I took upon receiving this package today

I think I like it and I think it'll end up an EDC !

This giving us hope, that you will be back to business of photography soon.
May be other people will follow you as well (I will not name them, everybody knows, who I am talking about.)
You need to take a lot of new pictures before your new baby will be born.

come on Dan, these are nice pictures. I am glad that you finally got Black Lum. I really like this black almite handle.
By the way, did you get your custom Persian?

Thanks Roman

I have a few more pics which I am planning to do/ update. A few more Kopa coming in the next few weeks will get me up to speed with those as well (for the Kopa Kabana).

The Black Almite handles seem to be very nice indeed, the F&F on my Black Lum is seemingly flawless upon initial inspection. Blade in ZDP189 seems to also be as per normal for ZDP... maybe not as bright and sparkly as VG10, but it is to be expected of ZDP. I will use it and give a review a bit later.

Regarding Persian mini battalion, they are still residing with Brad (yes you read right...more than one ). He assure me that he is tailoring new clothes for them and as per Brad's fashion he is meticulous in his attention to detail. He is proceeding nicely and hopefully he will be able to complete them in a little while. I'm not too worried because everything he does is magnificent... these won't be any different He's a bit busy right now but my patience is rock solid. You have to wait for masterpieces to evolve, can't rush the process

More pics to come later... maybe

Outstanding, Daniel!

The Shabarias are gorgeous and praying mantises are my favorite bugs! Nicely done.

Great picture Daniel. Thank you.
I hope you didn't hurt the animal, during photo session.

Here are a couple of new additions to the Kopa Kabana (yes, I know, I have to update that thread seriously !!!)

Here are a new Turquoise and the newly released Giraffe Bone. This example of the GBP is fairly orange in its colouration. Not too much grain either eaxcept for the obverse (clip) side. Might have to request a browner and grainer sibling for this

[bh49]

New Kopas look good
I am just jelous. I do not have Giraffe Bone yet. Too much money spent on Natives and flashlights .
Nice pictures Daniel, thank you for sharing. I really like how your Giraffe Bone looks.

[tonydahose]

i like the waves in the GB Dan.
