I wish more models did, the Sliverax has good action and no blade play which is hard to do on other models

As an ex-CRKT addict, they use a lot of bb washers and they are as smooth as silk. At the same time I think the Spyderco knives (primarily PM2 and Para3) that have inner liners once slightly tweaked are even better. If you are talking larger knives then it's a probably a good option. With that said, I would like to see a Para3 version flipper. Maybe a Para3 H-1 Salt, a fixed blade Para3 or even a Para3 style hatchet.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:

Why **** yeah! Why not, I'm multi-kniferal. I'm ok with a spear Para3 or even a can-opener Para3. Open your minds, what are you afraid of?

I agree the PM2 and Para 3 have nice action. I prefer to have the bronze washers held captive one way or another. I forgot my Dice had ball bearing washers until I saw Nicks videos this moring. lol My poor Dice hasn't seen daylight for a long time.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Para 3 flipper in LC200n and a drop point or sheepdog blade. :p

I really wish the Domino was still in production, I'd like to see some kind of other variation on the scales or blade steel. Out of all my Spydies the Domino ranks up there with the PM2, after I broke it in it's just as drop shut smooth as a ZT 0562.
