I'm waiting on a Native 6 with a compression lock. IMO that would be EDC perfection.
I'm waiting on a Tenacious with a compression lock and premium steel . . . like S30V or better . . . preferably M390/CPM20CV
Jerad your crushing it!! I like the different facets of knives you keep creating content for. Your tackling every aspect of a knife. Not just reviews and unboxings but sharpening to. keeping the content fresh and different. Didn’t think you were gonna drop today. My 3 Spyderco’s are the Manix 2XL, Shaman and the GB2! Hands down for me! My detent on my GB is soft to. I can definitely shake it out!
Even with the light detent its amazing i love the gb, and the manix regular and xl are both badass knives probably my favorite spyderco, possibly
@@NeevesKnives Yea the Manix just has the thing! I know exactly what you mean!
Love the Red Micarta !
Damn, I never seen brass scales on a manix2. Just seeing that made me pull the trigger on it now. I cannot wait to get it now!
Its sooo awesome
I just got a cpm m4 smock with natural g 10 and it's definitely my favorite pocket knife of all time it's sooo good
Definitely agree on the Shaman. I also have the Manix2XL and it has me wanting a regular Manix2 badly. I also really want a Smock. Something about it just makes me want it. Great picks.
Yeah all 4 are great, the xl is a badass, the regular one is as well i lovem both
Great choices!
Great review, as always - thank you! Quick question... can you middle-finger flick the Techno 2 with your right hand, or is the hole too obscured by the lock bar?
Yes you can
Shaman is the winner for me. Beautifully built knife! I really like it a lot :)))
The Shaman is definitely an amazing tool, a knife that can do most anything
Love how the GB2 made a comeback
Great video, thanks for doing the comparison! So I am curious how the Spyderco Domino would place in this group?
I had the domino for a short while from a Friend and liked it a lot I'm not sure where I would place it but I remember enjoying it quite a bit
Did you do anything to decrease the stiffness of the lockback on your chaparral? Yours looks like it depresses pretty easily. I just got one and the lockback is crazy stiff. Doesn’t seem like use is going to loosen it much. Thanks!
No it actually is pretty stiff, one of my complaints is that its so stiff and thin
I have a manix 2 lightweight with screws. Spyderco listened and made the switch. I would like black hardware, but I can`t find it.
I will eventually have to try a spyderco again. The only one I owned was way back in the 90s, and it did 2 things - soured me on the company and the product. Maybe now I might like the knife.
Yeah i would definitely give them another shot im sure they have came a long way
I would have to agree with the Mannix and shaman. I think they are the best work Knives that Spyderco has ever made hands-down.
Im glad to see them doing hollows every so often but id love to see them do more, and here i am selling one of there hollows smh
The REX Manix should be in my collection, I also have had the Manix XL on my list for a long time, are you going to sell the brass Manix? Maybe with different scales even?
That brass one is Timbos good
The Mc Bee is a great little knife - I hope one day a x2 sized version is made.
That would be awesome, id also love to see the techno 2 in a larger size
I don't seem to see many Spyderco Knives with the framelock so that makes it one of us the ones that would be great to use and carry. You could get a Delica 4 style clip for the Tecno 2.. Would it work. Spyder has nice trip to the FRN that helps it.
Theres a few framelocks but no not a lot
FRN make cheap the knives but i love the manix 2 regular and XL
so i m fond of my Advocate
The advocate is a great knife, and frn definitely cheapens a knife to me and makes it feel cheap and toy like, but when done right it can be cool
manix looks great
I have owned 2 Gayle Bradley 2 and they both had soft detents
Yeah it's kind of there thing
Is the advocate and the stretch similar by blade?
No not really but ive only had the sretch 2 straight back so maybe the other one
Hard to pick just 3. PM2 in Maxamet, Manix2 in 4V, Native5 in Cru-Wear.
Great choices, i really need to try out Maxamet im loving the rex 45
Nice video man my favorite spyderco is the manix 2 xl
Nice! Yeah i think that the manix xl or regular is my favorite as well, both are badass
@@NeevesKnives yeah man!
I'm still kinda new to this knife game, but I was lucky enough to find a used Mannix2, just a couple miles from me, so I can't see handling a better knife. Yeah, I have a few Kershaw, SOG, CRKT and SAK's, but the Mannix2 doesn't leave my pocket. Great video...
@@dajdools8834 nice I’m also pretty new I mean I only got super into them last year I only am 12 😂
@Barney Ray nice I’m a lil jealous
Wow! Flicking the Chaparral? You're the first person I've seen do that. It's my most carried knife. It's so lightweight. All your top knives are big boys.
I love small knives as well
OOOHHH GIVEAWAYS... IM IN!!!
that moment when you watch a spyderco knife video but you don’t have any yourself...
Yeah we didnt have any for a long time either, guess we were just being stubborn, we actually gave one away last week
@@NeevesKnives I was wondering what are your live stream times? Because it always seams like I join late or just miss it completely.
@@teddycaflisch3835 its 730 pm central time, you have to make sure its central which might be an hour or 2 different
@@NeevesKnives k thanks
Also do you have a video for making lanyards?
Oh man wish had the Amalgam in there, thats my favorite! Thanks great video though!
I've never tried it but always thought it looked like a good one
@@NeevesKnives oh cool I understand as I just got mine. Let me know what to do an I will loan you mine to check out! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
shaman , pm2, military, manix 2, native chief, spydie chef, smock
I agree on the techno 2. Love that little knife, I like the smaller knives. I take it you haven’t ground down your Bradley yet. How do I get hold of you.? Can’t find your e-mail anywhere.
Oh yes i did
@@NeevesKnives...hahah. I missed that the first time around, so I watched it again. I don’t know how I did that. I must be getting old...lol.
Only a few spydercos gain my attention. The smock, yojimbo 2, siren and the pm2 tanto
Yeah im the same way, i like alot of them but only so many of them i would pay for
Sage 4 is my favorite Spyderco.
Awesome! Im a little late to the game with spyderco but im loving some of their knives
Looking a at sales and other metrics (not easy to get btw) the 3 most popular are the PM 2/3, the Manix 2, the Dragonfly 2, and fighting it out closely for third the cheap Tenacious (due to the aftermarket parts market). Why the Dragonfly doesn't have a huge aftermarket parts scene is odd considering how many are in circulation. I found just one guy doing scales (C.F. & micarta) and not much else. A huge money maker waiting to be mined I think.
Of course personally for me it's Dragonfly, Tusk, Smock. Once the PM 2/3 is readily available in LC200N I would call it the king of EDC, due to availability of customizations and you need a user. I personally dont like them but I live near the ocean in the south. That means 90% plus salt air humidity, so corrosion resistance is of paramount importance.
Definitely, i think the reason why spyderco doesn't do deep carty is because they are trying not to step on the toes of the company's that make aftermarket parts for their knives which is pretty cool in a way if its true, atleast from the, i dont want to take food off of there plate kind of way
@@NeevesKnives Plus, once it's been modded, the warranty is busted, so it probably saves them money in the long run on warranty issues. Just a guess, I have no idea just how many warranty claims they get, but any mod does bust the warranty. They wouldn't honor the warranty and fix my striiped pivot screw on my Shaman because it had been modded. They said they would fix it for a cost, but I would have to shell out for both parts and labor. I still love their knives, but that really blows. The mod had nothing to do with the stripped out pivot screw. The loctite they put on it was the cause of the problem. That, plus the cheap soft steel the hardware is made from. Fucking pricks. Anything stronger than blue should be illegal! 🤣
Just got a manix 2 last night, lock is really stiff hoping a new cage will help!
I don't know if the cage helps yet, because I haven't handled one with it, but I can tell you that the stiffness smooths out after awhile. I have 3 of them, and all three smoothed out after using it for 2 or 3 weeks. My best guess is the new ball cage won't make much if any difference in smoothing it out, because it's the spring tension, not the ball cage that would cause the stiffness.
The cage is a little more grippy but the spring is what makes it stiff you just have to keep opening and closing, and when you set it down open it a little so the sping gets compressed
I have about 10 manix’s and they are real stiff brand new. I always open them up half way when I go to sleep for about 2-3 days. It really expedites the ease of the lock.
@@LandoTomato yesir works great
Just got my m390 manix 2 and good god the bevels were so bad, around 12 degrees on one side and 16 on the other. Was going to keep as collector item but will be hard user instead 🙄🙄🙄
#1: Spyderco slysz Bowie
#2: Para 3 lw in mint green frn and m4
#3: pm2 in k390 with aftermarket artic white fat carbon scales
Chaser= Shaman in cruwear or rex45 w/ lscf scales and timascus clip
Next buy= cruwear Sage 5
Oh yeah and for your techno 2 try out a milled titanium clip, that may help with the ergo and the feel in hand! Always worth a shot and if you don't like it well you can put that solid titanium clip on any other wire clip Spyderco
Yeah I should try that out thank you, I now have a. Original slush bowie myself
What about the Spyderco Police or I believe it's the manix XL..
Havent tried it but i love the xl
I love you man but DAYYUMMM! No Kapara, Chef, Sage, or Para 2 or 3 even on the table!??!?!?! You need to get more Spydies brother
Of the Spydercos you showcased, I would have chosen the Chapparral as my top knife. You pointed out the major drawback of the knife in its backlock construction, but I almost feel like its a necessary evil. The backlock allows it to be as thin as possible and you can in turn grind the edge to be super thin. It's the slicest knife in my small collection and its the one I grab when I want to make the thinnest cuts.
At some point you will have to revisit this topic because I noticed both the Spyderco Spydiechef and the Spyderco Kapara are absent on the video. If I had to pick a Spyderco for me, it would have been one of those two. Most of my knife use is in the kitchen so to have knives with a design philosophy for the kitchen suits me really well.
Thanks for tbe video and when things calm down over at Starbucks get Kara to do her version. I imagine the Techno and McBee would be 2 of her picks but that 3rd pick I do not know what she would pick.
Yes they definitely would have been, ive tried the chef and love it, i have not tried the kapara, i definitely need to revisit this topic again, as for the chaparral i just wish they put the little dent on the back lock to make it more comfortable
The GB2 is pretty notorious for having a very light detent.
Yeah i still love it, because the blade and grind with the ergos its a great user
@@NeevesKnives Agreed, its my favorite blade shape, so much usability.
Gotta Get A. G. B. I. Like The Micarta
I don't have kids but in the past I would hear people say that having too choose their favorite knife,gun,car, guitar or whatever you collect,own or are very passionate about is like having too choose a favorite child! I now see what they're talking about.
Oh and on the Gail Bradley I think that is designed to have a very late lockup because he wanted a solid interface between the liner and the blade so there would be no accidental closing and have a very solid lockup. I know that it was built not to be a fidget knife but to be the best cutter that he could design with the size parameters up that knife everything is designed to do one thing and one thing only cut like a sumbitch
Gayle Bradley succeeded
Spyderco has so many great designs, it's tough, but Manix 2 and the Shaman are my 2 favorites too. Especially now that I was finally able to swap out those hideous looking jade G10 scales, and with the blade regrind, man. It's a tough one to beat. The nice thin grind and the nub delete definitely improved it. I can't wait to get my Cruwear Manix back from G to see how it feels with the skinny mod and terotuff scales. I now have 3 Manix, and I'm actually thinking of picking an XL as well.
The xl is awesome, im thinking about grabbing a black ti cage and then switching my raw ti one to the xl and putti g the black one on the regular one, the shamans definitely one of there best knives i can only imagine with a regrind, i bet its nice having yours back in action again
@@NeevesKnives The Shaman worked before, I just couldn't fully disassemble it. Yes, the regrind is awesome. It's now thinner than a Civivi hollow grind! SLICEY! I'm not sure I really need an XL, but then, not needing a knife never stopped me from buying it before, LOL I'll probably wait on it though, and get either a Smock or Yojimbo instead, at least for now anyway. I have other large blades if I need that little bit longer blade. I'm thinking the CF 20CV Yojimbo. I don't have much CF right now, and I do like it as long as it's real cf and not that g10/cf laminate. I also have no 20CV, and Spyderco is the only production company I trust to do a half way decent ht on it. I got rid of most of my M390. I only have one knife with it now, the new TwoSun I bought. I like to collect and try different steels. I'm also trying really hard to NOT buy a Maxamet PM2. I have a Cruwear one, and I really don'r carry it all that often. The Manix and Shaman get far more pocket time. I do like the PM2, I just like other ones better.
I'll let you borrow my Shaman if you still want to compare them. Just wait a bit until the new love affair fades down a little bit. I can't get it out of my pocket at the moment,, 🤣
Actually, I have 2 M390 blades. I forgot about the custom Opinel in M390. I sent that to BJ to do a cut test, but he couldn't do it because of the geometry. The damn thing keeps cutting even after it dulls! 🤣
@@timbo4374 im really wanting some rex 45 now, but i dont know anyone else thats using it but spyderco
@@NeevesKnives Me either pal. Spyderco is for the most part the only one using these exotic steels unless you go full custom
Sage 1 maxamet for me
Top 3 or him showing off all of his Spyderco knifes?
Sooo, did that help any? On the Bradley. Where do I find your email?
Oh hell yeah it helped massively and its so easy, Jrneeve@gmail.com
@@NeevesKnives...Ok last one , I promise. Did you just take down the liner or both. Liner + scale?
"I like this knife a lot"
Spoiler alert I know the red micarta shaman is number 1. He loves that thing and has had it a while.
Since I put some micarta scales on my Shaman..it's become my fav as well.
After years and hundreds of Spyderco knives the Manix is still my go to. Your mind says worry about the plastic ball cage but years of use and I've yet to have one fail. Picking 3 would be tough, the Domino, GB1, Para 3 and Endura would have to fight it out.
I absolutely love my Gb, and i know the cage isnt a big deal its just my brains after watching that video, im surprised one of yours isnt the manix2, also you liked the gb1 over the gb2?
@@NeevesKnives the Manix takes the top spot, it's the other 2 that would be a tough choice.
Techno 2's my fav Spydie
Also love the Delica and Kapara (:
👍
I got a headache from all the contradictions lol

Those are tough to beat. Have you ever tried a Spyderco Military? That´s probably my most favorite Spyderco.
I have not
@@NeevesKnives very underrated by a lot of people, but i think one of the best knives Spderco has ever put out. You should try one if you have the chance.
Endura zdp one love
👊
Would have been nice if you had named all the knives. Otherwise nice vid.
I thought i did, if i missed one my bad, i do try to name the knives as i go but i do need to get better at that thank you
No paras
Mcbee
First to comment 3rd to watch 2nd like
😆
That smock needs micarta bro well your selling it lol.
Yeah i was going to but someone's buying it, and in order to keep running a channel even knives ya love have to get rotated sometimes, and its not easy, when ok with it Karas not and when shes ok with selling or trading im not, 😆
Neeves Knives it’s hard for me to let go knives I don’t even use lol. I get too attached to my things.
One huge problem with the smock is the flipper. It's the only problem I have experienced but it's a big one. The flipper should have had some fine jimping on it for finger traction. It has absolutely nothing it's way to smooth, a bit narrow and if you're hands are sweaty you'll find that your finger just slides right off of it, it also becomes painful to use if your a figiter. Bad design choice.... I think they excluded the jimping because they were worried about the knife jimping possibly catching on pant material or difficulty getting in and out of the pocket. I think had they simply made very fine jimping on the right top corner of the flipper only it wouldn't have become an issue.
WTH??? Where’s the para 3 the para 2??? Are you CRAZY???
At this time I had just sold my Para 3 but do have a pm2 in micarta and k390 now
Hahaha...man brain...because you never know...
How much does a manix light weight cost? Talk about paying for a name... My god, you can do so much better for your hard earned money. Stop drinking the Spyderco Koolaid.
🤣 stfu
If you buy any popular name brand, you are paying for the name. Spyderco, Benchmade, ZT, WE, etc..all are getting a name tax added to them. Any model from any of them..take away the name, and the price of the knife would drop.
PM 2 k390, Military CfTi s90v and Manix 2 m390 Cf.. But the Advocate is 👎.. Everything that was great about GB1 and GB2 is gone.. Thick behind the edge, Tip is lot thicker bte than heel and most serious of the errors bearings..At least for me, it's the worst Spyderco I ever owned!!!PS You are not a user😁 It's just fidget pocket jewelry.. For me it's a tool.. Titanium and Brass scales? 😏 You've ruined the balance of the knife awww
😆 ok bud, you can tell yourself that but im a massive user, ive carried and been using a knife since i was 5 ive done construction for over 25 years, ive been using tools my entire life, im a carpenter thats worked in all kinds of construction from concrete to landscaping, custom windows in skyscrapers, to roofing in july, and siding in the winter, I love knives because they are tools, my favorite part about a knife is how it cuts, you must not have watched much of my videos or sharpening videos to come up with that conclusion, but what ever makes you feel better about yourself
