Re: Who carries their Spyderco in a pocket organizer?

I only use my front pockets, and I don't carry a lot. My keys and card wallet go in my left, and my phone and knife (clipped) go in the right. https://s22.postimg.cc/yxil408r5/EDC.jpg I do like the idea of carrying a pen, notebook, and light, and this product looks like it'd fit the bill. I'd have t...

Re: My Manix 2 just broke :( [update: fixed!]

That's a definite improvement, well done!

To be honest, I wouldn't mind the plastic cage so much if it didn't have that seam running down the middle of it. It's the only thing holding me back from buying the G10 Manix 2.

Re: Who carries their Spyderco in a pocket organizer?

On paper it sounds like a great idea. I do not know how it would be in reality. There are some nice leather pocket sheath organizers out there. Just pick the one you like. Today, I had a Dragonfly, ASP 16" baton, pocket change, and a smartphone all in my right pocket. I am not sure there is ro...

Who carries their Spyderco in a pocket organizer?

I’m on the hunt for an all-in-one front pocket EDC wallet, along the lines of Hitch & Timber, and others. Maybe to carry my Chaparral, cards, pen, etc.. Do any of you have a slick solution you could share? Any feedback is appreciated.

cptdean, did you consider the para3 in 52100 and peel-ply carbon fiber at all? Just picked one up myself and love it! Now though I think I'm gonna have to try and obtain all flavors of the para3 and probaly the df2's. Enablers everywhere here! Evil, deplorable, wonderful enablers :D Yeah, I think S...

I bet if they made the price $170 with free shipping they'd be sold out by now.

Yeah, I'm sometimes guilty of thinking that way. :p

Re: M390 for $47 more than S110V?

Is this going to be for EDC? Might be biased because I don't have any S110V, but I am loving my M390 Para 3. Works well on everything, easy to sharpen, edge has held up very well after I reprofiled it, and no chipping. When I bought this knife, planned a few days ahead before I bought it and cooked...

Re: M390 for $47 more than S110V?

Thanks, everyone. This is getting me closer to where I wanted to be. I’m not bashing BentoBox, and I’m not overly concerned about the cash. I was mainly trying to understand which steel was more premium, if there is such a thing. If both knives were the same price, and with the same scales, which wo...

"BentoBox" is $47 more.

Yep, I picked up on the distinction. How close are the prices from other providers? More or less even for the same model knife?

M390 for $47 more than S110V?

Title says it. I want a Para 3 next, but I can't decide if the BentoBox M390 is worth the premium. I'm fortunate enough to get Spyderco's veteran discount on the S110V version, and I always buy enough to get free shipping from them. The BB offering would cost me an additional $47 with shipping. If I...

Re: Advice on next purchase

Another vote for waiting for the PM2. My first was the Dragonfly 2, and I only bought the PM2 to "get it out of the way" of my other purchases, since I knew I'd eventually end up with it. Well, let me tell you, it squarely beats my DF2 *and* the Chaparral Lightweight and Native 5 Lightweig...

Re: Something I do not understand about the Chaparral

I'm in no way advocating this for anyone else, but based on what Sharp Guy posted I took mine apart and slid the spring forward a bit. I like it. Pic 1 shows the spring fully nested in its pocket: https://s22.postimg.cc/oop3jyskx/IMG_1195.jpg Pic 2 shows it moved forward, with the curve of the bar p...
