It’s crazy to think I live 8 miles away from their HQ and still don’t own a knife from them. Gonna get myself one this week!

I have this knife to and have had it for about 6 months, really like it, just sand paper and the handles were not sharp anymore. A couple of minutes and it's a comfortable knife all round. 👍

You need to disassemble it and bend the compression bar out SLIGHTLY. It should fix your issue with vertical blade play.

Very cool and detailed review! Thanks for uploading!

I took a razor knife and very lightly scraped the internal edges of my handle scales to knock down the sharp edges. Feels great now.

Love this knife but half my blade was covered with scratches at like the 3 month mark. Yours looks great for 1 year.

[charlesbelliard]

Zero vertical play on mine, you should get it fixed

I agree there needs to be a lc200n version even if it’s yellow. Though I really hope it’s not.

I may be late to the party, just got this and this knife is awesome, and it falls shut perfectly. It's just built a little differently, but I love the weight.

Have this one as my light EDC for when my Manix 2 is too Heavy. Mines only issue was the action was too tight but a quick pivot adjustment and it's perfect now.

Then I have the Urban Leaf for when I go into Boston due to their 2.5 inch law.

It's not got any liners hence you'd expect it to loosen up over time. It's the FRN that bends to give lock rock.

I am acquiring one these (the Salt version) in Magnacut steel....😉

[MrASM]

The blade is off center because there’s only one washer, it’s supposed to be that way.

Why would you pry with a cutting tool?

[HollywoodTacticool]

said like Beavis and Butthead, "huh, huh, he said 'reach around...'!" snicker snicker. thanks for giving us the long term review. i'm seriously thinking about getting this, cuz i've been told it's the cheapest compression lock you can get. yes $98

Id like to see mpre partial serrated options

I really dislike FRN scales. The PM3 light weight has pluses. For one the wire clip is great. With the light weight you are stuck with the FRN scales. The scales of a light weight are not interchangeable with the regular PM3. But one can exchange the blade from a light weight PM3 to a regular PM3. Thus I recently purchased a pre-order lightweight with yellow FRN scales Magnacut blade from KnifeCenter. 😁 I have an extra regular PM3 with S30V blade I’m going to swap and replace the scales with the flytanium lotus carbon fiber scales for the ultimate Frankenstein spyderco PM3.

I did a video on the SPY27 Lightweight

i think the manix 2 lightweight is 102.50

Awesome detailed review. It must be just me, but I'm struggling to put a fine edge on this steel. I have no problems with my other steels or knives at all and have been freehand sharpening for years. Also when I do, it doesnt seem to last long. Everyone says how it has good retention and takes a keen edge. Thinking its got to be an steel issue just with mine, cant explain it otherwise. Love the knife otherwise, good stuff!
