The Official Status Update Thread: Part 49 - For Your Eyes Only

Ah ok. I was talking with the (smoking hot) chick at Spyderco about the value folders like that. Made in China, not as great steel, but still covered by the Spyderco warranty unlike the Byrd series of knives.

I carried the Tenacious for two years and used it daily, never had a problem with the steel (no rusting or anything even though I live next to the sea) it stays sharp if you take care of it too.

The Resilience is pretty much a Tenacious with a bigger blade and the same 8CR13Mov steel.

If it has the Spyderco logo I trust the quality no matter where it's made (USA, Japan, China, Italy etc).

Nice pics MM!
It's hard to get close to wild animals like that.

Too bad, Doug. Gonna be an interesting night out tomorrow!

I'd have no problem carrying it.

Here's my Spydy, btw, Sylvain. You were asking about it earlier.

Sara EDC the Spyderco Cricket. It's a mean little bugger!

I think I'll be getting a Manix 2 sooner rather than later. I was torn between getting that and the PM2 yesterday.

I think many Spyderco fans or knife snobs like to hate it because it's made in China.
But if you didn't see "china" on the blade you would think it's a $100 US made knife.
The quality is actually scary since they could make all their knives in China and stamp "USA" on the blade and sell it to you for 4 times the price and you wouldn't know.

For the most part, they're the same knife. I just can't avoid loving and being a snob about the locking mechanism on the Manix 2.

I thought you said you had a blue one.

 

[GBuck]

Did you get me a sticker MM?

It is blue. It's navy blue, just like I said.

 

[Sylvain]

How do you like the lock on your knife MM?

It looks a bit awkward to fold the blade, like a reversed liner lock on the back of the blade.

What am i missing tomorrow night?

My buddy's bachelor party. Me, a marine, 5 cops, tilted kilt with a hookup from the manager. Also Howl and Kilroys.

I dig it. It took some getting used to, but it's a good design.
