Re: Spyderco Paramilitary 52100 Carbon Fiber

Or, if you are meticulous about keeping your sharpening stones flattened, you are probably also an edge junkie.

Re: Spyderco Paramilitary 52100 Carbon Fiber

I would actually like to know the same thing (who is the manufacturer); I think it is Niagara, but I am fairly certain it is not Crucible, and 52100 is not a particle/powder steel. The RC is most likely 62 from what I have read. At any rate, you have chosen a GREAT variant of the PM2, definitely my...

Re: Spyderco Paramilitary 52100 Carbon Fiber

Very happy to have a PM2 52100 in the mail. BUT, i have two questions that i just haven't been able to find the answer to: What is the maker of the 52100 that Spyderco sources for these? Specifically, are they made suing Crucibles Particle Metal process, Carpenter's Micro-melt or gen 2 process, or B...

Re: Sal : Manix XL S110V

The Manix XL in S110v is on my really really really want list. When it comes out, it will take the place of several large folders and a couple fixed blades as well. You are right, the ergonomics on the Manix XL is second to no other large folder. One little suggestion: move the holes for the clip fu...

Re: Vote for your 2015 Spyderco knife of the year

Three months since delivery of my Para 2 S110V and with the addition of a stonewashed ti deep pocket carry clip, it is my favorite EDC. The previous favorites are sitting in the safe, played with occasionally, but mostly languishing for lack of use. When Sal asked us to vote on a new knife, this is ...

Precision Surfaces International has been good to use for polishing tapes.
There are several varieties of 3M PSA, here is one.

Re: Manix 2 XL S110V GONE?

I have and love the Manix 2 in S110V and the Para 2 in S110V, but would absolutely buy the Manix XL in S110V also! (though, I many exchange the scales with a black one if it comes in blurple.)

Re: Vote for your 2015 Spyderco knife of the year

PM2 S110V. no question.
Sal, Thank you for listening. (the purple tint in the blue is something that I am still a bit unsettled about though.)

Edit after some carry and use time: I like the color and look forward to getting a Maniz XL in S110V and this color.

Got One, Thank you. Been waiting on a Pre-order from June of last year from another company, but it just has not been filled. So, guess I will cancel that one now.

Or, maybe get two???

Even though the handle was probably being supported by the hand at the moment of breakage, I am still impressed with the strength of the FRN and design of the handle. Thanks for the field test!
Next brew is on me. :)

First impressions

Mine arrived today from National with only two days shipping across country. This was my second order, the other with another company is still in "pre-order" status. I have several other Manix 2s, so was not surprised by the form or shape. My current regular pocket carry is the Manix 2 CPM...
