It will probably happen eventually. Sal just needs some time to work his way down your wishlist.
Chap SE and Chief LW are checked off, so maybe the M2 SE is next 😄

Re: Why is the Kapara so overlooked ?

Not mine, it must be one of my most carried Spydercos and also one of my favorite food prep knives. https://i.imgur.com/I2d26Ci.jpg For a still general utility folder and for its compact closed size the Kapara works absolutely great in food prep indeed! (Aside from tasks where a taller blade would ...

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

I have no interest in a serrated Manix 2 in any steel, but I still don't understand why there aren't any in the lineup. It seems obvious there should be at least one. Maybe they haven't wanted to introduce a new blade until the screwed CQI came out, or until the Salt release. My guess is it's just ...

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

That has not been my experience. I've found that serrations cut some tough materials better than a plain edge. When the job is complete, the serrated edge is still suitable for continued use, while the plain edge can be disappointingly degraded. For this reason, if I think I'm going to encounter so...

Reporting back . . . I bought a Dragonfly 2 with Black FRN and VG-10. Decided my capability gap was not having a blade under 2.5 inches for carry in a more (blade length) restrictive nearby locality. (It does look great next to the Endura and Delica.)

I sure hope you went for SE... ;)

Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)

I am a huge SE fan. Almost all my Spydies are SE or CE. That said, I don’t really understand what keeps Spyderco making SE versions of so many of their knives. My observation is serrations are almost unknown in the folder world today. If serrated folders were profitable surely there would be a lot ...

I've been away for a while...haven't had much in the last few reveals to entice me. Has this topic ever gotten an answer or maybe a hint that we will be getting one in the future? Just me over here sticking to the SE salts I'm used to... No, nothing on that front, at least from all I know... I am s...

Said it (often) before:
This knife in a lightweight version (just like the Manix 2 LW) would be an instant buy for me - even more so in that classic St. Nicks configuration (love my St Nicks Goddard, especially the steel!)

Re: Benchmade Water Series (salt series?)

The small Adira looks nice but I'm not in a rush. I am afraid that pronounced and "sharp" pinky hook on the rather short handle could be a problem (so that larger hand perhaps don´t have enough space between front guard and pinky hook and the pinky sits right ON that pretty abrupt hook).....
