Re: Finally got a G-10 Manix

Bought G10 Manix last year, it was a bit tougher to open an close. I felt a lot of tension from the spring I would say. Closing mechanism hurt my thumb and index finger. Lubed with KPL a bit played with the main pivot a bit and broke it in. After like two months of irregular carry it became smooth a...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

most probably too many negative replies impacted the decision making process. Wait so just because 13% of ~100 people voted no they dropped it? Of course 100% agreement is not possible, but a small amount of pepole not being interested in a exclusive impacted the desicion so negatively? Seems odd t...

Re: Spyderco x Lamnia exclusive - poll

Thanks for the information. It is really a shame. People who voted for no should think a little about how to behave. For me, as a Spyderco lover, it is really hard to deal with. I wish we in Europe will get better chance to grab sprints/dealer exclusives. But I think that will NOT happen... Yes, it...

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

Not looking for your favorite model, but literally the best combo: model + steel + scale material + scale color + edge type. Sprint, exclusive, or production. All count! I`ve owned quite few Spyderco`s, currently I have in my rotation 15 of them and all of them users. If I would have to say best co...

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions

Well, I do not have that budget for too high end Spyderco, to be honest and all my knives are users after all. I never owned piece that is too expensive as I would not have heart to use it :grin-sweat . As silly as it sounds, my most expensive knife I own is S90V PPT which I bought from Nemo for ext...

For a gent's folder, the maple Chap is ideal.
Congrats!
Chap crossed my mind so many times, I have possibility to get Raffir Noble for 90 USD equivalent. Maple one looks stunning though and it is on my list of potential wedding accessory :thinking - great suggestion!

Re: Spyderco Groom carry suggestions

If I was fortunate enough to find a soulmate in this turbulent time I would only carry some of Spyderco's finest to that big day. My two suggestions right of the top of my head would be the Cruwear C-60 Ayoob or one of the more recent Para2 models. I don't think you could go wrong with either one o...

Re: Manbug doesn‘t safely lock anymore

Well, if you bought it from respectable vendor, it should not be hard to talk to them and ask if they can send it for you to Spyderco Headquarters in Colorado for inspection OR you can send it yourself via post to the warranty service (would recommend first getting in touch with Spyderco Warranty). ...

Re: My first SLIPIT experience / Spyderco Urban

Very nice quick review! Urban is one of my most favorite models from Spyderco. It is usually accompanied by my Squeak. For people looking for bigger blade, UK Penknife is bigger brother of Urban.

Fantastic choice and love your Nontron!

Social networks vs. forums - possible return of content to the forums?

Dear forumites, Due to latest updates in Meta applications, there are heavy limitations applied by content moderators, with help of AI, on any knife\EDC related topics. I am thinking if this is a new era when most of us will, in the end, get back to our forums, where we originally started sharing ou...

UK Penknife - CQI for spinning pivot?

Dear all, quick question I can`t find answer to, does UKPK have the same spinning pivot CQI solution\prevention as Urban has? I am talking about this steel inlay inside the scales preventing main pivot from spinning. I am eyeing UKPK for quite some time, I have two urbans (K390, AEB-L) and both have...
