Hey LTK do you have the new Magnacut Manix 2? if so can you see if you can swap the MC blade to a different handle? i trried multiple times with mine but something seems off/diff about the blade. The lock seems like its engaging deeper than normal and the action is horrendus!
@@LuvThemKnives oh okay 👍 The blades are supposed to be swappable between lightweight and regular models though right? There shouldn’t be a difference in the blade.
I love those knives. I have an endura and a manix 2. But honestly I'm at the point where I avoid anything lockback. I have too many and want something I can operate one handed.
Handle or scale varieties would be nice and extremely needed and way past do. You do good on steel varieties but every knife looks so similar because you need variety in materials which would help the look and feel of the over all product. I love Spyderco and i own several.
I've tested plenty of lc200n from spydie and tested it against the magnacut mules. Lc200n is absolutely more corrosion resistant then MC, mc has about 10% more edge retention then lc200n and the toughness of MC is slightly higher as is edge stability. As far as just edge retention is concerned your not gonna notice much of a difference between lc200n and MC in normal daily use if you run them at the same edge angle. With the addition toughness and edge stability magnacut has over LC200n you can easily run MC 2-3 degrees lower in edge angle then you can lc200n and in that case you will have a fairly significant perceived edge retention increase with magnacut over lc200n because of the lower edge angle. At the same angle the MC will still have a slight edge retention advantage over it but not enough that you will notice it in daily cutting. In my experience lc200n is more strop responsive then magnacut is so you will likely be able to go longer in between sharpenings with lc200n then magnacut just because a diamond or cbn loaded strop brings lc200n back so easily and without loosing bite so long as you don't over strop. Where MC has a clear advantage over lc200n is in toughness/edge stability. You wouldn't want to run lc200n below 15dps edge bevel angle for general cutting as where you could run magnacut at 12-13dps with no issues for general cutting and your gonna get a fairly large perceived edge retention increase with MC at say 13dps and lc200n at say 17dps the perceived increase would literally be double the edge life because of that lower angle.
No new designs so far BUT we are getting some bad ass steels! 15v going in as a production steel! Rex121 sage! New coatings! And I'm sure in reveal 15 we will get a new release or two.
9:11 yeah you definitely don't want h2 for edge retention, in fact it's absolutely terrible in edge retention. Borderline not serviceable edge retention.
As someone who has owned multiple knives in h1, i would disagree with you. My fully serrated H1 spyderco’s have gone through quite a bit of abuse and still have really good working edges on them

@@GeorgeMui. I don’t have the Manix2 magnacut yet. Definitely going to try to get one.

Great job snagging Michael as the Spyderco spokesperson. A Legend! Thanks Lee.
An interview with one of the most knowledgeable people in the entire industry👍🏻 Thanks LTK.
Left out the Manix 2 and Dragonfly
Mike your a great guy and I really appreciate it very much the way you go into depth explaining how the steels work best with differant scenarioes.
Spyderco always has the best presentations!
Whenever I’ve approached Mike at trade shows, he’s always been very informative and courteous. I love spyderco and will always say nice things! 👍👍🇺🇸😁
Love them spydies!
Great presentation. That paramilitary is sick!
Great videos Lee hope you had a blast 🍻
Im happy they have a couple new models coming, been waiting a long time
Awesome. The real MJ😊

My favorite Salt Spyderco is the serrated hawkbill Dragonfly.
Still love my Paramilitary 2 Spyderco knife

Love spyderco and mr janich, mike is such a great representative for the company and community. Lets just hope uncle sal sells out to gsm
Feck! I meant doesn't sell!
Sal and Eric ain't selling out to GSM.
@@petedavidson712 You know you can edit your original comment right 🤔?
Janich is the best
Would you guys go for the PM2 Salt or the Native 5 Salt (both in Magnacut)…
PM2 Salt but I’m biased and unfamiliar with Native 5.
Good ol H1/H2... the gummy worms of knife steels lol
11:30 "especially in plane edge"
is he implying that LC200N is worse than Magnacut in a fully Serrsted Edge?

@@EDCandLace What's your take on H1 vs H2? I'm looking to get a havkbill type. Wondering which I shld go for.
These sob's owe me a manix 2 crucarta. Getting crazy good with my patience.
So nothing new this year ?

I’m done buying lightweight series spydercos. Haven’t been happy with one yet. I’ll buy a salt when it comes in G10 later.
