Hey HorseloverFat, the knife scene here is okay I guess...there are not really any good brick and mortar stores (with reasonable prices that is) but we do get pretty regular gun shows at the Hampton Coliseum (SGK for example) that bring some decent dealers this way and give me a chance to handle som...

Grab the new s110v midnight blue frn model for a light but very high performance manix.
Or you could buy the one knife to rule them all...caly 3.5.

There is a way to rethink blade to handle ratio.
Beautiful.

Anxiously awaiting my shipping notice from Howe's.
Cant wait for my first manix!

Actually after about 25 spydies my first ball bearing lock period!

Yea...I think it is pretty much just user error. I have been exerting pressure on the lockbar (this is difficult to avoid as stated above due to the small size, my fingers have to go somewhere). The lockbar is also fairly stiff to unlock as well, but I really appreciate this as it gives me extra con...

Do you recommend the corners or flats for this cliff? (or does it matter?)

I have been carrying my techno alot lately and I really love the design. One thing I have noticed is that the nature of the blade shape does not provide a very acute point. It serves me well for the most part and i really like the aesthetics, but I couldn't help but wonder if you ground a straight l...

I never noticed how similar the GB blade shape was to the stretch until looking at both together like this. Funny how I (and many others) have always felt the stretch blade shape looks pretty goofy, but I have never heard this about the Bradley. The swoop on the spine is a little less pronounced, bu...

Techno baby...with a new blue snake knot lanyard and pewter bead.
Love this knife!

I saw an in the wild picture. It is an adjustable pivot. I would be curious about the pivot hole diameter in the blade vs. the G-10 models. Can you say where, or re-post the image here. I can't wait! Also, when you say you will fix the clip, will you just swap with another you have or can these be ...

Wow. Is almost 10% good, or bad? I have nothing to compare this to I would agree 10% would be bad if this poll represented 10% of the knives spyderco puts out. For example if everyone in the poll only had one knife and 10% failed. If you consider that most of the posters in this poll have had say 2...

Fn-A right mofos...One headed to Norfolk VA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sight unseen and freakin stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wife might not be so excited, but you gotta take your lumps sometimes...

This was about 2 years ago if I remember correctly and I did witness in person. It was on the brick sill of my utility room windows while outside having a few beers and cooking on the grill. I can't say for sure that the ball bearing was fully engaged as I was not holding the knife, but it seemed to...

I have never had a failure that was not induced by foul play. I was able to get my tenacious to fail with some pretty forceful spine whacks (I voted no, because I realize this is not a legitimate failure and is really a pretty ridiculous thing to do to a folding knife). I actually only whacked the t...

Wow.

Hard to imagine these problems, I have never heard them about the techno or any other taichung spydie. Mine is rock solid, almost hurts my thumb to disengage. That said, I never have had the inclination to spine whack this knife nor could I see a use for this size/type of knife that would recreate t...

I was just playing with my knives I decided to obsessively open and close every knife I have in my collection numerous times, noting detent, smoothness, lock release, blade play (or lack thereof) . After playing with them all, I have to say out of 20+ spydies (i know...beginners collection) the Vall...

So I picked up a techno a few weeks ago and have been carrying this pretty regular since. I really like the knife, ergo's and just overall look and feel of the knife. I haven't found much in my daily use this does not excel at even with the thick blade, but the one thing which is a little difficult ...

Ceramic bearings in Manix 2? I am officially intrigued. I am not sure how this would be done, as my understanding is that the Manix has traditional washers and does not come with bearings or a raceway from the factory. Does this require machining of the liners to create a track or raceway for the be...

XHP native is a winner for me under $100. For a little more coin, the techno is awesome!
