Re: Spyderco Military 4V DLC St. Nick's Exclusive

Wow. Completely spaced on this one. That’s ok, my REX45 has been good to me.

Should they do the military 2 in this combo, I’ll pay closer attention.

Re: CPM 15V PM2

I think I got one from BladeOps - order confirmed, card charged. It was available some 6 minutes after Abba posted in the alert thread. Thanks! Wasn't planning on getting one, wasn't actively trying, but on the other hand, it is a PM2. And you know me... I believe GPKnives hasn't dropped yet, so I'd...

Re: CPM 15V PM2

I don’t really understand bots but that has to be the only way to get that many. I have not done it in a long time but there are websites that help with this. I think they give you alert if there is a change to the website, so going from out of stock to in stock would count. No idea how fast the al...

Re: CPM 15V PM2

Could be just the pic, but are those scales more chamfered than other PM2s?

Re: Paramilitary or Manix

I got a PM2 and a LW Manix 2 roughly around the same time - one purchase apart. PM2 won the contest of a better knife for me for number of reasons. Some time later (little over a year later), I got the G10 Manix 2. This narrowed the PM2's lead over the G10 Manix 2 quite a bit. But PM2 is still the b...

Re: Shawman or Manix 2 up grade

I you really like your Manix LW, you may want to try the G10 version. For the same knife, it does feel quite a bit different. More comfortable to me. Wait for the next exclusive or sprint run to get something unique. Sounds like you are on a way in trying more Spyderco knives. Shaman is a solid choi...

Re: Sage 5 LW vs Manix 2

The Sage 5 LW is a very nice package, light and compact with decent blade length. The wire clip is perfect for this knife. Really good representation of the compression lock here as well. G10 Manix 2 over the FRCP Manix for me, any time of day. Depends on what you need. I use both; like both. Manix ...

Without a hesitation, UKPK G10 anything, any blade shape. I am a big fan of the HH variant.

Re: Steel genie is about to turn all your knives into one steel…what are you picking.

Tool steel is king in my book. But woudn't want to be without a decent stainless.

K390 and S90V. Since I have multiple of my favorite model, this would work out just fine.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

Yeah, the liner- vs comp.lock discussion is getting really tiring indeed... That's pretty funny. The first four pages of this thread were folks, for the most part, excited about this model. Nobody was comparing one lock with the other... until someone brought up the topic. I don't really care. Both...

Re: What's your LEAST favorite of all your favorites?

I definitely have a least favorite Spyderco. Perhaps even couple. I am not good at selling knives, so they linger in my collection. Now, least favorite of my favorites is a different category. This would be the Manix 2 LW. It is way too slippery. Having to depend on pushing it against the palm of my...

Re: magnacut gb2 salt

I really strongly dislike the sharpening notch (aka giant snag point) on the GB2, and the GB1 doesn't have it so that's really all I need but the GB1 is one I always went back and forth with buying but never did, and if they did a run in MagnaCut I'd cave. Technically, there is no sharpening notch....

Re: Magnacut or Bust Wishlist

Is magnacut going to come as tool steel? 😂

G10 Native 5 is the only one I could be interested in.

Re: Spydercos you wish you could buy half a dozen of...

Wish came true, thrice :open-grin Half-half dozen.

I do have half dozen of PM2s, and had that in Native 5 (let couple go) at one point.

Re: Military 2 Discussion (Merged)

I wish they kept the scale chamfering of the old model. Looks like it has harder corners, more like the PM2. Also, wonder what the liners look like. Do they run the full handle, or partial?

Interested nonetheless.
