I thought I read somewhere that the CBBL can't easily be fit into a small knife.

A worthy challenge for Eric's design skills if there is any challenge at all!

Agree! Spyderco does hard things all the time!

I'm a little OT here, but I noticed today that my LW FRN Manix is LIGHTER in weight than my LW FRN Sage! Despite the Manix having a lot more blade. I like the size and trimmer handle of the Sage, but...for the weight reduction, with more blade...I'll carry the FRN Manix. Yup, liners vs. no liners a...

YAY!

I started a thread just like this and I know there have been many others. I love the Sage 5 but wish for CBBL. Looking forward to it… whenever it comes.

Sage series can be close in blade shape and ergos. I really wish there was something with CBBL in a small size but there isn't if that is important to you.

I like my SNK Chief and want to support the local shop, but I never carry my Manix LW because it takes up too much pocket real estate being so wide. I'm sure the XL will probably be more of the same.

I just get my pants tailored with bigger pockets

As a lefty, I’ve had good experience with CMEs on compression locks.

This is in opposite direction of your question, but National Knives has the pinned version on a good sale. You must be logged in to see the $107 listing. I realize this is the opposite of what you are asking for but seems like a screaming deal in case you want to consider it. https://www.nationalkn...

I must be one of the few whose friends have dull kitchen knives. Either that or all y'all are nicer than me and sharpen your friends kitchen knives.

My friends are all better cooks than I..... no idea how sharp their knives are

The scales are not going to break

My question is does your exposed liners have a rough finish on the edges?

No - I find mine to all be finished nicely and smooth.

Mine has picked up a denim color on the one end. I have the same effect on the show side of mine. I don't have this issue on any other Micarta knife, including the ZCarta Shaman. I think the finish is particularly susceptible to it, somehow. Yeah I assume it is the white soft parts of the micarta t...

I was one person who questioned the lock area on here when it came out. It’s been fine and I love the knife. Seems like it could have been better. It’s been in regular rotation since it’s release and I happened to be carrying it today. I also like the fuzzy and wish my shaman had it. Mine has picked...

There appears to be some new knives in the sale section of National Knives - you have to login.
Newly posted IIRC - Maxamet pm2 $200, dlc s30v pm2 $150, s30v manix 2 $110.

This thread is a great read. Thanks for your efforts, BBB.

Can I ask what the heat treatment collaboration was like? Did your treatment scale well immediately?

Or how much testing and iteration until all parties were satisfied?

Hi vivi - PM sent in Reddit. Thanks!

This doesn't seem legit. Couldn't find any references on the forum with a search:

I'm enjoying this thread - seems the XL never gets enough attention. I noticed the CBBL on my XL is much smoother than on my normal an LW Manix. Looking and measuring closely, it appears there is more stroke length on the XL lock movement. And the spring seems less compressed at rest. I have not se...
