I have a couple of the Manix XLs. So I have had this thought on more than one occasion. Eric Glesser snuck into my room when I was sleeping, took detailed measurements of my hand, and designed the scales to fit to perfection. S Tier on my list. Plus you throw in steels like 4V, M4, and Cru-Wear, and you have a serious work knife.

Oh yes I’m in for this video! Post video comment: personally I like the matriarch/civilian. Purpose built knife for undercover work. It’s an excellent knife but trash for edc because the tip would be too fragile. I personally like backlocks, and the native 5 is probably one of my favorite knifes of all time up there with the sage 5. Great video enjoyed watching!

Thousands of openings and closings later, it is now buttery smooth and has no stick at all. Don’t think I’ll ever sell this one. It was tough to get it to like me.

On the Matriarch wave edition I agree, but the Matriarch 2 without the wave, I had one, notice I said HAD because I lost it damnit, it's a smaller Civilian, it was one of if not my MOST used knife now the Spyderco Spyderhawk with H1 steel which I'm not a huge fan of, they said it's gets harder the more it's shrpened, I can confirm IT DOES NOT, the VG10 is much much better by far on the Matriarch 2. I use to not be a fan of serrated blades but I must admit, serrated knives definitely have their place, big hard plastic straps, rope, zip ties, they with the hawk bill blade with the serrations just dig in and cut, PERIOD, they do not slip out or off the cut. Just procured the Yojumbo at Blade Show Texas, Love it and have a few more Spydercos. Love your channel, thanks for your reviews, stay safe and God bless.

@USA16395 Ай бұрын

No love for my Spyderco ikuchi? How dare you sir. You have done me a great injustice and I... Am just kidding. While mine in particular was the one tou festured on the channel about 2 years ago, I can agree with you that its interesting, but ultimately not fantastic to carry. The clip is fine but the cog has such a heavy detent it'll rip your thumb to shreds more often than deploy the knife. Awesoem video as always MC. Looking forward to the Hinderer tier list, perhaps with the different blade shapes/grinds and finishes instead of just models alone.

I tried to like the Amalgam because I'm a sucker for flipper knives and there's very few of those in the Spyderco line up. However, my sample had a super lazy flipper action (slow velocity) that would not fully open with out assistance from a wrist flick. Not what you want from a flipper imo. That's too bad.

@phil2082 Ай бұрын

The lil native is top tier. I got the S90V version, which definitely belongs in top tier now that I put arctic blue fat carbon scales on it. Small knives deserve more love. They do most things better than normal size knives do.

@TheOfficialCaseMade Ай бұрын

Without question, the Sage 5 LW will be my first new Spyderco. It just ticks every single box for what I want from a knife. Also super validating that three of my personal top five favorites are top tier. It's even more validating that you share my feelings of how completely and totally underwhelming the Delica is. Is it a good knife? Yes. Is it 'OH MY GOD THE BEST EDC KNIFE OF ALL TIME'? Not even remotely close. I think if every online platform didn't shill them as the end-all-be-all of pocket knife perfection, they wouldn't be half as popular anymore, especially given how damn expensive they are for what you get.

@andyhayward1261 Ай бұрын

Damn you MC it’s inconceivable that you wouldn’t rank the native 5 as legend tier!! Best looking spyderco hands down IMO or at least up there, infinite steel choices, better cutting geometry than the golden compression locks, best spydie backlock in regards to lockup and action that I’ve ever handled, linerless construction on both the g10 and LW models but with none of the often associated cheap feeling of linerless FRN. Also IME unlike the seki models the native 5 variants either come centered or are very easy to center. Add to that the increasing availability of aftermarket scales (RGT has Ti [and other materials] scales for the g10 variants while AWT has aluminium scales in a variety of finishes, cerakotes etc for the LW) and clips for the Native 5 range and IMO you have a certified LEGEND!!! Also for anyone who thinks you can’t flick out a native 5; disassemble the knife, clean it up, and put some quality lube (gunny glide, kpl etc) on the washers/washer contact surfaces and reassemble. IME with both my LW and G10 Native this brought them from being impossible to reverse flick and difficult to thumb flick to be extremely easy to do both. Of course the technique is slightly different since a backlock is providing closing force till the blade opens about 1/4 of the way as opposed to a liner lock which is essentially free moving as soon as the detent pops out so you need to “follow through” a bit with your flick, shouldn’t require wrist or anything stupid like that tho ❤ My current top 5 are probably: 1) DLC Cruwear Native 5 wearing bronze anodised RGT fluted ti scales and a purple anodised lynch clip 2) s30v Sage 5 LW - hands down best washer comp lock action and lockup stability - new ripple pattern cerakoted aluminium scales inbound from RGT (only 64.95 😮) 3) DLC s45vn Para 3 w/AWT blue cerakote aluminium scales and a coated MXG para clip 4) K390 Wharnie Delica wearing Nickabrack contoured arctic storm fat carbon scales with an MXG milled clip 5) s30v Mantra 3 with the detent hole drilled out so the ball actually seats properly and it actually flips really well now also has a customised CME to eliminate the issue of the flipper passing through the compression lock area and hitting your finger when you close it. Now you just press the CME button and the flipper passes through a cutout in the CME. Also managed to get a lynch clip to fit in there to replace the wire clip. So, stock the mantra 3 is pretty meh but with the mentioned mods it’s a beast!

My legend list would include: military, PM2, para 3, Gayle Bradley Air, Manix 2, Smock, Kapara, Chaparral (2mm xhp is 👍 ), Sage 5, Domino (except that ugly scale) and Tenacious (just because it introduced Spyderco to way mote people when it dropped at about $30 years ago).
