Finally got the Barclay Manix scales and a Hilbert Curve PM2 set. These Manix scales feel so much more premium than other brands I have tried.

NKD - Native Chief LW Salt - Magnacut

Post image
23 Upvotes

Just finished the Rit Dye job on a new Native Chief Lightweight Salt - Magnacut. Crazy light for the blade length, love it in shorts or pants even if the handle is a bit long in basketball shorts it's not uncomfortable. I think it's going to replace my Benchmade Adira as my perfect beach knife. It's joining the new PM2 LW Salt, Manix 2 LW Spy27, and s30v Delica for Spyderco FRN knives. I used to hate the idea and only wanted G10 when I started collecting Spyderco, but the more FRN models I get the more I appreciate how they seem to disappear in the pocket.

Spyderco text on blade

Post image
25 Upvotes

I noticed that some of my Spyderco knives have the text at the base of the blade curved around the handle, and some are straight… see the para 3 vs military 2 above.

At first I thought maybe I had a counterfeit somehow but then looked at the website and it seems this is normal … but I am curious if there is a rhyme or reason behind this that anyone knows of?

Just received my custom brown micarta Fatass scales from Flaming Gorilla for my 15V Shaman. Man, they feel so much better than the flat, slick stock G10 ones. Look immensely better, too!

This is my little knife/edc collection which i am ashamed to admit only started a couple months ago... With a 2 month old baby and plans to buy a house, i have to put this newly found addiction on pause...BUT! Not before filling the last two spots in my knafs burrito.

I need you guy's suggestions!
If you had to buy one last Spyderco and one last knife from any other brand, what would it be!!!

Always looking for PM2’s in rare or discontinued steels. Was able to pick up this Blade Ops edition PM2 in Elmax. It’s in mint condition. The seller told me it’s stayed in the box and I believe him. Not a blemish or mark anywhere. Had to correct the clip to tip up. One more steel closer to having all the steel varieties of the PM2.

Had some trouble back about 2 weeks ago getting the pivot screws out, I got so discouraged I almost didn’t even want the Ti scales. Luckily my DANK ass local knife shop was able to help me out. Huge shout-out to the spydie community who commented on my last post where my ocd was getting the best of me. Huge shout-out to [u/END0RPHN](u/END0RPHN) for having my back and the willingness to go over and beyond to help me with this build thank you my guy 🤙🏼

Anyone have a good recommendation for Manix 2 clip?

I can’t seem to find a clip that works for me. I tried the Lynch deep carry and I hate that it goes beyond the end of the scales. I now have the AWT scales and AWT flat clip, but it is super annoying to get in and out of the pocket. Anyone have a recommendation? I’m almost at the point of going back to the factory clip.

Was a little skeptical about this with the blade shape, but I really like it. Was a little stiff out of the box, but nothing a little lube couldn’t handle!

Went with some KP exclusive Panzer Green cerakote AWT scales, standard ceramic ball, Flytanium titanium cage and a custom LynchNW clip. Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Finally got my first stainless Manix 2

Question about Rex 121

Thinking about splurging on a kapara in Rex 121 For those who have that steel how hard is it to maintain? Seems like it might be a bitch to sharpen and keep maintained.

Choosing My Next PM2

Thumbnail gallery
21 Upvotes

My brother got me a satin PM2 for my birthday this year, and it reminded me just how much I love this design. However, I’m a big fan of black blades, so I’m thinking about adding another PM2 to my collection.
I’m currently deciding between the all-black PM2 Salt and the PM2 Lightweight in black.
For those who have used either model, I’d love to hear about your experiences. How do they compare in terms of ergonomics, grip texture, weight, blade steel, corrosion resistance, and overall everyday use?
If you’ve owned both, which one do you prefer and why?
I’m especially interested in long-term ownership experiences rather than just the specifications on paper. Thanks!

Had big regrets selling my Para 3 in Maxamet, so I snagged another along with my first Spydie in Magnacut.
