After ~25 knives bought, my 1st Spyderco is a Manix 2…that one spoke to me. Now modded w/AWT scales, brass cage, and spring change, it’s my sweetest EDC👍

The manix is my most carried spyderco
@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo Жыл бұрын
I have about 60 spydies, including 3 Manix 2’s and a Manix Xl. Love the blade shape, but the handles just aren’t that comfortable to me. Too many sharp angles and a hotspot if you add a deep carry clip. Much prefer the PM2 and especially the Shaman. Same large leaf blade, far more comfortable handle, plus way easier to Spyderflick. But that’s what’s great about the brand, choices for everyone!

I love this knife but for me the shaman beats it out with better ergos and I love the thwack when it locks open
@SWORD1-cm4vb4 ай бұрын
Manix 2 is a pocket hog, and it’s heavy. Love the blade shape and how it cuts, the LW version is better. I have both, but I carry my mobile in front right pocket and seldom carry the manix knives. My favorite EDC Spyderco is Para3 or Paramilitary 2. Lighter and more narrow in pocket, and very slicey and I like the ergonomics better as well. The key to carrying a Spyderco is taking off the factory pocket clip and adding a Lynch deep carry clip. Game changer.

Was my first spyderco and knife that made me a freak. I think the design is just beautiful. The functionality actually looks good. Every little detail. I wish they used the clear ball cage again
@lindboknifeandtoolАй бұрын
And this used to not be the case, maybe because I was a child, but now it seems they’re making the spring tension light enough where you can just use your thumb to actuate the bearing. I used to have to anchor the butt if the knife in my palm and use my index and thumb only and now I can use just the thumb like on a light benchmade

If it had a usable handle it would be good. Having to shift your grip to the ricasso to use a knife is ridiculous. Not saying I don't own spydercos with this design. But I much prefer a knife designed to use the handle to grip not the ricasso. Aka endura, endela, delica, Caribbean etc.
