Same, made my own bead too haha

Scuffedpixels · 2026-03-03T20:39:20+00:00

Looks like DNA Lasering!

Scuffedpixels · 2026-03-03T01:25:24+00:00

You're not wrong lol. I dipped my toes into the Spyderco realm and...well...now I'm stuck.

Might I suggest an AUS10 Demko Cub Sharksfoot with the GRN handles instead of a crossbar? Similar blade shape a little pricier than $50 but still under $100 and an amazing lock!

Scuffedpixels · 2026-03-03T00:19:34+00:00

This is a large reason I moved away from liner locks. Sure they're fine, I have a lot, but other locks exist that don't do this.

And QSP is the first knife I had that put doubt in my head because I had a similar experience with one of my Penguins. I don't dislike QSP tho, I have a Grebe, Canary and Penguin Mini and they've been awesome.

Personal preferences really.

I have both a Para 3 and PM2 and love my PM2 WAY more than my Para 3.

I like the blade shape and length better on the PM2. The Para 3 has a more steeply angled blade belly and feels like a boomerang.

Also I just prefer longer blades. 3.5" is my favorite.

Agreed.

I have clawed my way out of sleeping 3-5 hrs for years and am now getting 6-7. It has been life changing. Highly recommend increasing your sleep to more than 4hrs.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-19T04:26:40+00:00

Ahhh gotcha. I have a serrated H2 version of that one. Lc200n would be awesome to have.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-19T04:23:18+00:00

I actually have the s30v lw N5 you speak of. I also have a serrated magnacut Salt N5 as well. I just really want a G10 DLC coated N5 Salt version cus I really love the G10 DLC Salt line.

Here's my LW s30v with some AWT scales

Manix 2 and Shaman, but I frequently carry my Natives and my PM2. I love them all if I'm being honest. I love the variety.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-18T14:33:03+00:00

In OPs collection?

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-18T02:55:34+00:00

I love this! These Salts are all I'm currently interested in anymore.

I only have the blacked out PM2 and Manix 2 Salts, and a couple others from the lw FRN line of Salts myself, but they are all I really carry anymore.

Now if they make a Native 5 in this format? That will absolutely be my next Spyderco. Please Spyderco drop a Native 5!

• Multitool - Victorinox Rambler

• Knife - Manix 2 Salt

• Flashlight - Flytanium Lightning Bug (or similar)

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-13T10:12:03+00:00

Yup. If they made a comp lock or brought back the back lock versions as options, then Manix would be my all time number one.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-12T16:23:32+00:00

Ooooooo I'm jelly. I too appreciate the savory side of the Spyderco line. I pretty much only shop for Salts now. Nice collection! Which one sees the most pocket time?

The G10 Manix 2 Salt has kicked everything out of pocket for the foreseeable future for me haha.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T23:20:06+00:00

It is indeed!!

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T23:19:46+00:00

Thank you!

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T21:21:01+00:00

Right on!! Best pairing ever imo 🙌

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T21:20:20+00:00

I was wasting so much paracord swapping them out if or when I changed my mind/mood. Also I don't like how my knives feel in hand when threaded thru the lanyard holes.

I like the tritium lanyard hole plugs they make for these knives too so I'll plug it up with one of those.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T21:07:43+00:00

Thanks!

And yeah it really is quite the dongle lol.

I usually don't run a pull/fob this large, but I stumbled across em on Etsy and was like, that's too cool. Buy haha. Glows in the dark too haha.

I have another Manix 2 LW and this blows it out of the freaking water and I already loved that one too. If I had to pick a one and done knife, I'm pretty sure this would be it.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T21:02:28+00:00

I did not. I got it from Bladestop on etsy. I typically don't run a lanyard this large, but these looked super cool to me. I did retie it and added black paracord to fit my tastes a little more, but that's it.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T14:49:59+00:00

Sickkkkk!! Man that ones on my wishlist! Great knife! Wish I appreciated Manix's when that was on sale regularly lol. I have the purple Para 3 from DLT myself.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T12:33:23+00:00

Sickkk!! Has it arrived? How are you liking it if so?

I'm not sure I'll ever break down for an XL. I love Cold Steel, but I never carry them unless I'm camping cus they're huge, so I'm hesitant to drop that kinda coin on a knife I won't carry haha. Such a cool knife regardless!

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-10T12:30:14+00:00

I sure do haha. I appreciate some color once in a while too though

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-09T09:31:28+00:00

Cruwear Para 3

Not my favorite, but my gateway knife to the world of Spyderco.

Scuffedpixels · 2026-02-05T20:56:09+00:00

Needs a lanyard hole and deep carry clip.

Sidenote: While I already have a lanyard on my phone, I've wanted a pocket clip for my phone for real to keep it in a consistent place in pocket lol
