Where from? Ordered mine from midway, will be only my 2nd knife of 2014 (first was my PāKal purchased in march). I figure this is gonna be one I rotate the Pākal out with, not a user cause of the steel.
Spyderco UKPK with polished blade (CTS-BD1 is almost as easy to polish as H1), rounded and thinned spine and top jimping removed to make it more of a gentlemanās knife.
Iām wanting my first Spyderco pretty badly, canāt decide on the Manix 2 or Paramilitary 2. I like the DLC either way. Seem to favor the blade shape on the Manix 2 but the lock on the Para 2.
I did notice the clip allowing deeper carry. I donāt have anything against the polymer cage (shot comp with a Glock 23) but I donāt know about the spring and possible defeatability of the lock from dirt in the field. All my knives are liner locks or mono-locks to date.
Thanks for the tip, was leaning towards the Manix 2 but didnāt know about the compression lock.
I canāt presume to know what your needs and likes in a knife are, but Iāve looked and held manix 2s, but could never commit. Personally, I find it way over built and heavy. This is just my personal opinion. Right now Iām looking very closely at the Spyderco Domino. The blade is the same āleaf shapedā and only a little shorter than the manix2, and comes with a titanium framelock. It comes with a flipper that operates flawlessly without having to apply pressure in just the right amount at just the right spot. Look at the new version with the blue weave carbon fiber grip as compared to the less attractive CF/G10 laminate composite.
I totally forgot about the domino. Just after they came out I had one for a little bit. Actually I used it as a partial trade on my Sebenza (I guess why I forgot about it so fast). Yes definitely a nice knife.
Top right with some other spydies and a 710
I might of liked it more (and possible not traded it) had I not had a Sage3 at the same time.
Love the ābill Cosby sweaterā CF weave. I need to either get another domino or get a new Sage 3.
