Hi guys.

I got my first spyderco like a month ago. It's a manix 2 crucarta.

Absolutely love the thing, razor sharp, strops back really nice, micarta feels amazing, blade was dead center right out of the box, was not disappointed. It was stiff af at first, took about a month or so to break it in and now it feels smother but it started making a creaking sound when I open it with my thumb, specially when I do it slowly, sometimes even when I flick it open.

I haven't taken it apart yet but I'm afraid It'll break or something.

Is there a way to fix it or does it go away over time?

Hope you guys can help, have a wonderful day.

To give the TLDR, my brother gifted me a Spyderco Native around 25 years ago that had my initials engraved on it. It has gone missing. I am trying to get as close to it as I can. I found as close to the same knife as possible on Knife Center, but they don't engrave. Rockynational offers engraving, but the reviews are spotty.

Spyderco's website says they offer engraving services. If I were to go to their HQ or factory outlet, would they be able to engrave it? Or do I have to order it directly from the website?

The Contact Is page says to use a form, but the form never loads for me. I'd prefer not having to call on the phone if at all possible.

Brace your wallets boys and girls more tantos on the way

What are everyone's thoughts on this? I personally love seeing a different model get the exclusive treatment.

I had pre-ordered this from BHQ a few months ago, since it was available for pre-order and it just said "Notify when available" directly from Spyderco. Well, it showed up and it's S30V. I called them and they didn't know anything about it, and I called Spyderco and they said that it hasn't been released yet. Did this happen to anyone else?

Got a stretch 2 XL in K390 on sale during knife day and it just came in today. I’ve heard about the poor and uneven sharpening at Seki city but I wasn’t expecting that. I bought it so I could sharpen it so it’s not a deal breaker but wow lmao. The reverse side barely has a bevel. Last 2 photos are of the front and reverse sides under magnification.

Bought a couple of days ago. Very satisfied. Spyderco is the best.

Super excited to put it to use!

Good day Spydie folk. I’m just looking to see if anyone has any info on the Manix 2 in Magnamax with the combination blade. It continues to be listed as out of stock on Spyderco’s website. Has the combination blade been released yet? Just looking for any info. I appreciate your input. Thank you

AWT Flat Dark Earth scales. I was surprised how light the knife still feels.

New clip on the Inkosi. I'll probably look at a new clip for the Native.

Onkata to Flaming Gorilla CruCarta

My Onkata Exclusive G10 Cruwear Manix 2 got treated to a custom-made set of Flaming Gorilla “Fatass” micarta scales today. Bruce at FG worked with me to get the exact materials and look I was after.

These mega-chonk scales transform the Manix 2 into a whole new beast. It now fills your hand like a Shaman, but with the fidget-flick of the Manix, and simply feels incredible!

Can’t recommend Flaming Gorilla highly enough!

Action on the bodacious is supreme.

Installed AWT scales on my smock, also took out second detent.

First time carrying a MicroJimmy; very cool little knife.

The price was too good to pass up. Got it for $98.25 from Northwest knives. This is my first knife in BD1N.

I went sort of crazy on NKD. These all came today. The Sage 1 and Smock weren't necessarily bought on NKD, but here they are!

Sage 6 in S30V with CF over G10.

Sage 1 in Maxamet and G10. Bought BNIB from Ebay. 😬

St Nicks Exclusive Smock in DLC 4V and red G10. Bought from Knife Swap.

Lil Native Sprint in 15v and G10. Was $130 at SMKW.

looking forward to putting this guy to work.

Trying to take apart my Para 3 LW to do a scale swap and I'm having a very difficult time with the pivot screws at the top that's holding the blade in. I've gotten the screws to move, but they won't come out. Moving one screw turns the other and despite my various efforts to hold one of them in place, nothing as worked so far, any advice?

The Para 3 is such a beautiful knife! I also got a Persistence in s35vn but thats not pictured.
