Yeah that's a nice one.
The spydiechef has been on my list for a while but the caribbean might take it's place.

I'll wait for the larger version to be released  :popcorn:

Have you had the Manix 2 Ultra Light in hand yet?

I just can't seem to go back to anything heavier since deciding to EDC one for the last 3/4 of the year!

I was a little worried it might not be tough enough but now I realize that I just might not be tough enough?

Just a crazy great largish but light weight choice.

Umm not that I would ever kick a Sebenza to the Curb either  :whistle:

(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

I haven't.  Nix did offer to send me one but it was too generous...  I loved the shape of the Native, but the Manix doesn't do it for me.  What I'm looking for is a big, hard use folder but something that'll still fit in my pocket.  I reckon the Shaman fits the bill nicely.

The Sebenza is a small Insingo 21, and that's definitely staying.

Thats interesting as they seem almost Brothers to me?

The Manix is amazingly tough even in lightweight dress but likely feels tougher with the G10 scales too.

But there are a whole lot of great Spydie choices to be sure!

Every Spyderco that I have lived with for a while is a whole lot stronger than it seems at first blush!

Had dinner with a good friend last night, he's very anti-collecting-anything, and getting the Para 3 (maybe today) and wanting the Native 5 Salt has me straying dangerously close to a Spyderco collection  :facepalm:

 :salute:

Okay, I'm among friends......there is some buyer's remorse  :facepalm:

One simple reason.......if this knife was a back lock it would be perfect  :whistle:

I bought the knife knowing the details of the compression lock, no issues with it except I find myself instinctively going to disengage a back lock  :facepalm:

The steel  :dd:
Obviously it was very sharp out the box, I just lovingly stropped it a bit.  I have no use on it, but it's great knowing what it is and it's capabilities......the lack of fear to use  :salute:

Need not have worried about the ergos, except the pocket clip which I knew about from reviews.  It's my preferred size of knife for sure.

Another thing that bothered me slightly was the weight.......if only in comparison to the Salts.  That said, it's a much stronger knife and I look forward  to putting some good use on it. :cheers:

That all sounds good, Gerhard!   :tu:

With a bit of carry and use, I'm confident the weight concern will disappear from your consciousness.

Likewise, I find the compression lock to be fairly intuitive after a bit of use. The problem may be that it become to play with. Most of my compression lock knives will 'flick' open or closed while the compression lock is activated. Becomes a fun game to try to flick the blade and then catching it by releasing the lock.

Hope you enjoy!  :tu:

Everybody has different standards, but IMHO the Para 3 is built too strong for any use I would ever put it through.

Strangely one of the knives I enjoy playing with the most is the Pac Salt, also one of the quickest knives in my hand.

Good news for me is the blade tip does not show when clipped to the pocket, and it sits perfectly for me when sitting down which is somehow an issue with many knives.

The only Spyderco I've been able to middle finger deploy, I now get the appeal.......and I did manage to stab myself in the pinky  :rofl:

How can you say things like that.......to a fragile person like me!?!?!?  :ahhh

Hey Gerhard, Happy New Year!! Hope everything is fine  :tu:
Just wanted you to know that Sal at Spyderco just confirmed there are a few Shaman exclusives in-the-works for 2019, and that he himself is currently carrying a serrated Cruwear Micarta Handled prototype Shaman  :cheers:

Good morning(?) TP
I wish you a happy and healthy 2019!  :cheers:
The rabbit hole is deep, very deep.  If my knives sell I may receive partial payment in the form of a HAP40 Caly 3  :facepalm:

Apart from that I know what I desire most: the Native 5 Salt in LC200N  :woohoo:

Strange things is I confirmed to myself this XXL man likes small to medium knives, Pac Salt is acceptable only due to its lightness.

That said,

Have you had the Manix 2 Ultra Light in hand yet?

I have now.  Got one in a trade earlier this year and it's great. :D  I don't like the translucent blue handle, but otherwise it's lovely.  Light, great blade size and shape, good fit in the hand and a very secure, easy to use lock.

I'm half tempted to make new scales for it.  Maybe some Tufnol with brass liners. :tu:

I'd forgotten all about that.  :facepalm:  I haven't touched the Manix for months and I've got nowhere to fettle things at the moment but if you can get your hands on it I'd love to put some in the to-do pile.
