Re: Manix 2xl

Welcome to the forum. I had two M2KL's but I sold them. My hands are wide and thick and that hook on the pommel irritated my little finger when I used them. The regular M2's hook is not so pronounced and I can kind of ride it. Otherwise, I really like that XL. Doc, if we´ll ever see an FRCP linerle...

Re: The Three Godfathers 1948

The movie stared John Wayne, Harry Carey, Jr. (and was dedicated to his deceased father Harry Carey), and Pedro Armendariz. There were also the usual cast of great actors: Ward Bond, Ben Johnson, Mildred Natwick, Hank Worden, and many other recognizable actors.

The Three Godfathers 1948

We watched The Three Godfathers (1948) the other night. It was a John Ford film staring John Wayne and in typical Ford fashion there was a lot of humor, action. and raw emotion. Great movie. Highly recommended.

My car has a button for nearly everything. It even has one that says "rear wiper." I'm still too afraid to use that one.

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

I mean, A.I. only know what they are programmed to know. Just a thought. IMO, this assumption won't be applicable once Humanity successfully develops a true AI (i.e. once AI achieves general intelligence). With the ability to think, learn and reason on its own, it isn't going to be confined to arbi...

Re: Is there a quintessential Spyderco?

Delica and Endura are the quintessential Spydercos. I think all others flow from that design philosophy in some way or another. They harken back to the original Spyderco design.

Re: Good second Spyderco

A Delica is a simple and useful knife. It is my favorite knife with a 3 inch blade made by anyone. A Chaparral isn't a bad choice, either. It is super slim and easy to carry.

I read something that they were going to use SPY27 on the Endura line. Which would be awesome
That would be a killer! I'd have to have one or two! My dream is a Manix 2 LW back lock SPY27. But, I just hope to get a UKPK.

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

I've written three novels that deal with AI out of control or the misuse of AI. I am not comforted by the technology, especially considering the kinds of people involved in their programming.

Re: Serial # stamp/laser engraving on tang of Manix??

Some Spyderco Golden knives have the date of manufacture hidden on the tang under the scales. Sometimes it is partially visible on the Manix 2 when rotating the blade. Otherwise, it can only be seen when the knives are taken apart.

A Man Called Otto

Has anyone seen this Tom Hanks movie? It is actually pretty good and a bit funny at times. Warning, many attempts at suicide, but they all are thwarted, much to Otto's frustration! It is part of a running gag. He feels he has nothing to live for since his wife died. People with needs keep interferin...
