some good looking stuff they got. most of it not my style at all but none the less spyderco's are great.

 

[Woobie]

I'm not much of a Spyderco guy myself, just because of the style. The quality is, of course, great. But that Mantra II is hot! Full flat CPM M4, with assisted open, Reeve integral lock and ball bearings.

Edit: not assisted open. Thanks, Brad.

The Mantra and Mantra II are flippers, they are not assisted opening knives.

 

[Woobie]

Thanks for the correction. I spoke too soon. It's still an awesome knife!

 

[Bradsknives]

No big deal. ....I'm looking forward to receiving the Mantra models. Titanium framelock , and M4 steel at that price point is awesome.

The Mantra models look sweet! How durable is the "wire" pocket clip on those? I know Spyderco has other models that use it so I'm just curious.

 

[Jeffrey]

I've got the wire clip on my manix two lightweight. I've had it for a while now, and carry it frequently. Haven't had any kinds of issues with it so far. Looking forward to seeing/handling the new spydercos.

They flipped open fast and without much effort in the video. Do they have a strong detent like the ZT0452CF, so that when you get past it, the blade just zings right open?

And, do they still have the major design flaw in the new models? You know Rhino, the huge gaping hole in the steel???

Of course! And because it, they are doomed to self-destruct as you remove them from the box.

A few very cool knives there. The little Lum looks nice (I really like the bigger ones also). The newer version of the Carey folder (forgot the name) is really cool with the carbon fiber and orange spacer. The Paul Alexander model with the big choil is pretty sweet, and the Tighe Stick and Mamba are pretty cool also.

I'm a big Spyderco fan and find the hole the most convenient way to open a pocket knife.

Rubicon, I believe. I'm really interested in this one also.
