I just ordered the standard LW in VG10 steel. I have a couple of Endura 4s and a Police 4. Used to own an Endela but I sold that. I just prefer big knives.
Do you or are you interested in trading? Reached out on instagram a few days ago with no response. Looking to trade a lightly used Montana knife company magnacut for one of these and maybe another para 3 LW
We did a trip on hwy 395 on or way to Nevada I wanted to make a stop at the knife joker store in bishop wow what a disappointment Empty few display case with just a few spderco’s had a lot of art work on windows It was like a movie prop store front
All 3 are sweet. Noticed the carta P3 has a pin not a screw at the blade stop. Carry a P3 LW, but ordered a Manix 2 Crucarta. Couple weeks and I can open the box for my birthday.
The only thing I dislike about the Military 2 is the clip placement when in tip-up position. I really wish they deleted the lanyard hole so they could place the clip in a more centered position. As it is the clip creates a bit of a hot spot and makes it a little awkward to middle finger flick it open. I'm surprised it doesn't bother more people
Rock Jumpers are built for the climbing community, that's why the writing is where it's at, so it's mostly all cutting edge, and there is no jimping so it doesn't frey any climbing rope you have hanging from your rig, etc. That's the way it was explained to me anyway, I didn't care, I just love Spyderco's and gotta catch em all like Pokémon.
I'll never understand why people would pay so much for a Chinese knife. I'm sure they're fine, but they're priced like they're made in USA. The whole point of outsourcing work to China is to save money for the customer. They're just pocketing the difference and you keep buying them. They should cost like a hundred bucks being made in China.
It varies on what grit finish you want. The working edge would be $12 at 100 grit, a light polished edge would be $17at about 3500 grit, and a full polished edge at 100,000 grit would be $23.
I don't like it. It's not a Stretch with that straight spine, it just isn't. Make the XL the exact same size but with the Stretch 2 blade profile and ill order 2 right away.
The clamp itself compensates somehow for the grind. This clamp works pretty well for these distal taper grinds. The newer system and clamp that just came our from Wicked Edge does an even better job.
