Re: Subjective Question
Ergos are not just about the handle but also the blade angle. I find the Military to be perfect.

Re: Subjective Question
Ergos & steel are what Spyderco does best, so the options are many, but the first few that come to mind are Caly 3, Native series & GB1.
Honorable mentions for Manix & Domino...

Re: Objective Question
Yes, I like the lock tab on the Crucarta PM2 better than my other PM2's. But I also get why they could do it.kennethsime wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 1:07 pmI noticed this with my Crucarta PM2. Huge improvement.
Great comparison shot, too!
Re: Subjective Question
It has amazing ergos indeed!!
Wonder if the Enuff 2 (as opposed to the "1") will be the same, since the handle most likely is a bit thinner / less hand filling due to the thinner blade stock of the "2" - ?!
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Objective Question
I can easily believe that just by looking at depictions of the knife!
(Though perhaps it would become a tad too thin for me where the index finger sits - I tend more and more towards liking more "meat" there, and not too much of a groove).
Makes me want to try out more Spyderco fixed blades. I actually have experience with only two: The Waterway and the Enuff 1.
Both are very good:
The Enuff has the best ergos of any Spydie I tried so far anyway (the grip area should not be any shorter for me though), and the Waterway has a great handle for what it is: A very thin and low profile fixed blade. So FOR such a thin handle very good ergos imo.

here's my most ergonomic fixed blade and folder from spyderco. aqua salt and c95 manix:
Re: Subjective Question
Probably the Lionspy.
I like my Manix 2 (is it a Manix 2?) with the back lock, no liners and smooth scales.
Most of the knives I carry are "comfortable enough." Thank you Spyderco for that!
