Stellar today
https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderco-Manix-2-Lightweight-Knife--180238Like the color of this one.
that thing looks fantastic with the wood furniture.Speaking of manix
the ball lock that Spyderco uses is a fair bit more durable than the axis locks, IME.Nice to see a spyderco with that locking mechanism. How does it compare with the axis lock?
Huge Spyderco fan myself, carry a DragonFly2 every day just because it's so small and easy to carry. I carry the vg10 version simply for the stainless aspect as well as their vg10 heat treat is actually really good, very easy to touch up and can get clean edges with little effort.
Reason like Spyderco is toughness & reliability. My two most used over 10 years
Super Blue with compression lock & CPM S30V with liner lock both bombproof reliable.
I think but not sure both are ball bearing where slot in blade is engaged with bar of steel that makes it so effective.

Haha, yeah that was me. I was mostly joking around. I know Timascus holds up pretty well.Man I wanted that one bad. If you wanna sell it for over msrp lemme know. You were asking about ano wear on the studs today right?
I'm enjoying my chaparral but would like something bigger. Is the Endela the most similar in profile but longer?View attachment 231477
I like the thinness a lot. The xhp steel is great. The only thing I don't like is that when I am using it to cut up boxes, which is mostly what I use for, I tend to catch that little thing that sticks out at the heel which annoys me. I would like a longer, less curvy blade shape.The Chap is a little unique. I'd say one of the Sage series is more like it in design but none of them will be as slim. Although a fair step in size, the Manix 2 Lightweight might be another to think about.
The Endela will be bulkier and have a different hand-feel.
Are there specific features of the Chap you'd like to retain in moving up in size?
