- Holy cow batman, Spyderco has some super excellent knives for 2016. Doing one of my catalog reviews gives Spyderco some free and valuable publicity but more importantly serves the interest of TNP Knife Nation (who helped make many of their models very successful). We will cover the marketing aspects of a "tournament level" player, still setting industry standards. Then we will launch into a page by page review of many knives, pausing on the standouts. So grab the popcorn and get ready for Spyderco Nirvana.

I cover pretty much the entire Spyderco 2016 lineup in one video. There are some real standouts that I look forward to coming out. This is the best year Spyderco has had in a long time. -nutnfancy
What do you think of the microtech Ludt? Will we see a review on that knife? Seems like a steal at $185 to me.
+nutnfancy ooooh, cant wait for the krvs!
Knife sharpener recommendations or reviews for the future? I've been buying alot of knives over the years, so I haven't been sharpening at all. I should really sharpen the old ones! I do sharpen my filet knives, I just use the Rapala sharpener for that though.
+Mike Halverson Nutnfancy uses the edge pro apex. Hes said in those videos that hes isnt planning on reviewing any more sharpening equipment because he likes the edge pro that much.
I have one and its great. It does have some limitations and is on the expensive side. But basically everything has limitations in some respect. If you want comprehensive reviews on sharpening stuff check out some of the channels like jdavis, richardblaine, solosknifereviews etc.
They all do mainly freehand sharpening. Otherwise you could check out some of the other outdoor gear reviewers lateboyscout, cutlerylover, and others. they tend to use more of the gear like the sharpmaker, edge pro, wicked edge and the like.
+test18258 Hey thanks for all that great info. I use to have a guy with wet stones do my blades. Unfortunately he moved. I was thinking about getting a belt sander / sharpener. Any thoughts on those? I think they cost about $70 at a local hardware store.
40 minute KRV? My Computer Engineering finals are suddenly not important.
+Sean Cronin Lol, did the same thing with my anatomy finals :P
i promise you wont get a computer engineering career with knife knowledge
The time to review an entire catalog is appreciated. Thank you for the continued time and effort. Merry Christmas.
Lol, you Beavis and Butthead impression at 16:32 had me rolling!
Great video as always
+MoreAmerican I was going to say that too! I played it back at least 6 times just cracking up.
so perfectly subtle
How does TNP not have a million subs? its crazy, because you guys are the most honest reviewers out there.
Technology is so amazing. Now I can have a respected gear reviewer flip through a manufacturer catalog and provide me with unbiased reviews on all the items in the catalog. Dang that's some easy living. Good job Nutn!
Nice to see the catalog back on the knife show. Great video. Thanks Nutnfancy, Merry Christmas
Thanks for the vid nutn, watching your knife videos is like flipping through the catalog with a friend. good to know that I'm not the only one who nerds out over knives and other tools/gadgets, thanks for all the vids you put out hope you and yours have a great christmas!
Yes! I was hoping you'd do this again! So happy the knife vids have been cranking lately!
Love Spyderco and the Nutnfancy catalog reviews!!! Thank you and keep the knife reviews coming.
I took time out of studying for finals to watch this. My roommate does not understand why I'm so excited about this.
Please do this for every other knife company
got the stretch from your review and it got me hooked on knives. then gifted it to my dad and he loves it
I've gotten my hands on both the manix 2 lightweight and PM2 in s110v! I couldn't be happier with them! now all I want to see is a lightweight PM2!
I don't say this enough but I think I can speak for all tnp guys when I say thanks nutn!! Doing amazing things and really shaping the tnp lifestyle that I am blessed to live! Long live tnp
For the record Nutn.. it was your Spyderco Stretch review that got me to buy my first Spyderco. Love the stretch! :D I have 2 of them now.
Wow Nutn, you went the extra mile on this comprehensive Spyderco line review. ~~ Nice job!
40 mins! That's why the RUclips gods invented double speed. Thanks for the great vid nutn.
Thanks again Nutn'... always enjoy the reviews and education!! Cheers! Happy Holidays!!
I got a spiderco based on your videos and one you did a few years back, I'm not a knife guy and just couldn't justify 200$ or more on a edc utility use pocket knife. 50$ and Still using it today every day for everything from simply opening mail and boxes to cleaning out pressure washer jets.
I think I will only carry Spyderco stuff my whole life. I've been carrying the Manix II lightweight for 2 straight year now and I have never had an issue with it. I think they have made me into a life long customer.
Whoa, thanks for intro'ing the Mantra, Nutn!! Surprised that there isn't more buzz about it-M4, titanium frame, FFG, Hole + Flipper, wire clip, 3 OUNCES...that's a hell of a lot of knife for $170.
I bought my first Spyderco, the Stretch because of your review on it. Awesome knife. Thanks nutn.
That s110v manix lightweight has been out for over a year. Fantastic piece! The blue/purple g10 model is new for 2016
Got my first spyderco knife this year, the Centofante 3. I absolutely love the thing. My only issue is how stiff the opening is, but its slowly getting better.
That quote on page 1 looks familiar...
“Marine Corps integrity is doing that thing which is right, when no one is looking.”
-Col. Colin Lampard, USMC
high quality videos, i cant get enough of them
I really need to pick up a dragonfly. I work in IT and opening packages is about the only thing I use my knife for, and that knife seems ideal for it. My current favorite carry is the Lionsteel TRE G10 in the m390 steel. It weighs 2.3 ounces and is about the perfect length.
Awesome! I love the catalog videos. Requested mine today. Can't wait !
I'm not trying to be that guy but.... When has VG10 steel become such a poor performance steel? I think some of the problem is you put your angle on the blade and it dulls faster. I have a spyderco edge maker I leave on my nightstand. A couple passes and I get my knife hair shaving sharp. I'm sure you can get it sharper but at the cost of edge retention. If you are dulling zdp189 that fast either you are putting too sharp of an angle on your blade or cutting something best suited for a utility knife...like the Gerber eab or Jr. Stanley utility knife you previously reviewed. I know ever blade steel will dull but when did s30v and vg10 become subpar steels?
Dude H1 Steel ROCKS. I've left my H1 Pacific Salt out after a day of salt-water fishing with no cleaning and days later, rust was non-existent.
Do you have to sign up every year for a spyderco catalog? Spyderco hasn't sent me a catalog in years, even though I'm signed up.
FINALLY! I've been hoping for a fresh one of these since I started following Nutn hardcore.
Sad that Nutn didn't mention how the Hungarian folder looks like a penis after hating the Benchmade dick-clip for so many years.
I own the native 5 in s35vn. It was my daily carry for a good amount of time. Great knife an extremely light weight.
40 minute knife video? HELL YES!
oh...and thanks for the KRV "surge".....loving this Spyderco line overview
I just ordered an Endura 4, VG-10 in Purple (What!) from your link. Been holding off way too long to replace my Benchmade Mel Perdue circa 2000! Ive been caring it for almost 16 years, time for an upgrade!
Awesome video! Thank you Nutn. Always love that you keep it real..
Such a great company. I still carry my Tenacious all the time. An all-time-great knife in my opinion.
Just picked up the mantra 2 this last weekend, man is it sick!
Nice overview of the 2016 line up. I am pretty excite about the Mantras (1 reminds me of a Caly 3.5 in a 3" package, and 2 is like a small, folding South Fork). The Pattada looks great, a step up in the Endura size category.
I was one of the ones who bought a Stretch in blue/zdp189. Good knife, only thing i would complain about is the slow deployment.
When can we expect to see a review on the Mantra? Super excited for it. Love your vids and personality! I try to watch as many as I can.
I always enjoy the catalog reviews.
I love spyderco. Been packing one or two since 1990.
Nutn, I loved your past catalog reviews replete with "thumbs-down" and loud raspberries to signify knives you hated! I can't find those reviews anymore. You must have taken some heat and took them down. Too bad; whenever I needed a good laugh I used to watch those old catalog vids!
Thanks for getting back to KRVs! Miss them!
Enjoyed the full Spyderco catalogue review-- just great. Thanks!
Now i don't have time to trawl through all comments so maybe it's been said already, however, i think it's a pity you failed to mention the Byrd Raven 2, a knife that IMO owns the Tenacious and has taken over from the PM2 as my EDC carry. Truly a gem in the lineup!
ah, you just tripled my list of knives I wanted to get! Thanks a lot Nutn.
I have the Mantra, and it is great EDC, 3.5 oz. and flipper with spydie hole deployment with a Delica design. Just a great knife.
Congrats on reaching 600K subscribers!
The Nirvana is a steal of a deal. Considering what it takes to make that knife out of one piece of titanium.
16:33 best nutn laugh ever!
Thanks for the comprehensive video! Spyderco happens to be my favorite, as well. From a retailer standpoint, I've noticed knife knewbies seem to prefer the combo edge, where the real knife guys (who are into having a proper edge) prefer plain edge with a decent belly. oh yeah, the knewbies almost always choose tanto. keep rockin nutn!
I've never been a fan of the serrated blades either. I bought an Endura with a combo blade years ago. I've found that the serrations just catch on stuff are a pain in the ass. It doesn't even cut rope or fibers any faster than a sharp plain edge.
I would definitely carry a pink knife. Light pink is - and always has been - my favorite color. As a guy, I've obviously caught a little bit of flak for it, but really couldn't care less, it's just a color.
I still love the Stretch 2, weird looks but feels great in hand.
I love my citadel! also loved the shoutout. it is one of my 3 auto knives. got me a lightning for carry and the TNP ultratech for ultra collectability.
you should take a second look at the Byrd Raven 2 . Excellent budget blade with an upgrade in steel cts-bd1. Fantastic ergos and blade shape. It's a real winner . Lots of knife for little money.
I definitely look forward to this video (and the catalog) every year. My one complaint here is the lack of a desire to do a krv on the Matriarch II and/or the Civilian. I've noticed that Nutn's EDC system usually contains a large folder (Endura size), a smaller fold (Delica size), and another folder or two (duplication here, with weight being a large consideration) in his fanny pack. The criticism he's used on the Matriarch II/Civilian is that it draws unwanted attention when deployed. However, he's also pegged the large folder that he's carrying as something that fills the self defense role.I've dabbled in martial arts for a number of years. I've had some opportunities to train with knives, just enough to realize my desire not to ever have to use one in a self defense role. If, God forbid, I did, I would want something that would fill that role in the best possible way. Understanding my limitations with my abilities, along with the reduced dexteriry that I would have in that scenario (adrenaline, nervousness, confinement, etc), the matriarch II/Civilian would be much more ideal to have on you (an Emerson wave Matriach II most ideal maybe, factoring in weight and deployment) vs an Endura (or other large folder). Not only because of the application being easier (need for less training) but also the intimidation factor. In that scenario, I want the negative response when deployed.So I'm just curious Nutn, with your Delica (or other small folder) doing many of the tasks you need on a daily basis and also having a 3.5 inch blade in your fanny pack, why not go with a 3.something oz Matriarch II as a primary self defense knife? I mean you are a guy who has thought of about everything for your EDC system, it just seems like this one would check another box for you (or at least better fill the SD role you mention frequently).Thanks again for all the vids. I've been a fan since '07 I think and just love all the gear reviews. Your philosophy vids have also been great and have had an impact on my preparedness (thanks for that as well).
Ive been ran a snap on for year. great utility...because after cutting line on the boat..Bang snap it on you gear and keep going. I loved it. I kinda dulled up the serration and dont really know what to do sharpening wise.
Native 5 G10 S35VN is still the best value for money imho. High end steel, and solid construction with metal liners, built in the USA. FRN handled knives without steel liners look and feel cheap and obviously take a lot less time and money to put together. There is a place for really lightweight knives, but I prefer my knives to have liners under the scales (unless it is a titanium handle with a Chris Reeve lock).
I said my serration of choice was the veff at about the same time...love the veff's and crkt in general, they use a bunch of different designers.
Janisong not for sale in US?! I fell in love with that back in the MOD age! And now you guys telling me it is revived but I can't get it? What is this MADNESS?!
Nutn, actually the C101PDBL2 Manix 2 in CPM110V is already out. It's not a new model. I don't know why they market it as new.
Can confirm Manix 2 XL has god-like ergos and isn't too large/heavy as an EDC.
I had to request a catalog of my own after this video. Thanks again for another great knife vid Nutn! So many knives I want, it's unfortunate that Spydercos tend to cost quite a bit. Up here in Canada, the price can make them nearly inaccessible for most (Amazon's price on the Pukko, for instance, is $267 CAD...considering I bought my CS R1 Military Classic for around $100 less, I'm gonna have to say no thanks). They're still great blades, though, and I still want them! I'm just going to have to collect slowly, I guess.
Cool review. I live in Golden CO, spyderco just had their factory sell. They sell all the knives that have a small scratch or a knick in the medal (not on the edge). Picked up a couple for dirt cheap. All day I picked up the Manix 2 and 3 a few times. It felt SO lite but had a very solid lock up system. Should have picked it up.
I love the knife laws in Missouri. Back in 2012 switchblades were finally legalized, and there are no open carry restrictions for any knife.
+Daniel Robinson Better check your municipal laws. There are definitely restrictions in Missouri though they are minimal by comparison to other states.
Please explain your dislike of 440c. You lone aus8 and 440c is slightly better imo. Thanks for the catalog scroll through.
I think my first Spidy will be the Caly 3.5. Badass knife.
+DjRjSolarStar My favorite edc folder. You won't be disappointed.
Fancy seeing you here! I've been browsing your site for the past few days : )
Right on! I'm usually busy with The Feed but I get out on good behavior occasionally. ;)
i feel like the fully serrated blades are more for rescue use (like you said). cutting rope and webbing typa tasks. got my friend one cuz he's a firefighter and he loves it.
So how do you feel about Spyderco enforcing a MAP (minimum advertised price) policy that will kill Spydercos low prices on large sites such as Amazon (but they will be good for small local dealers because you can get Spydercos on Amazon for $5 more than dealer cost making it impossible to compete when local businesses get stuck with sales tax and shipping fees. )
Nutn, the Manix 2 in the translucent blue in the S110V is a limited run, they have some left at BladeHQ for just over $100.
Nutn I can't believe your doing this catalog review when the greatest .45 handgun has hit the market! Why aren't you going to the corner of the room where you have your demi god Walther PPQ 45 sitting on a stand surrounded by candles and sheep's blood waiting to be tested and reviewed? I know you gotta have one!!!!
I just bought my first paramilitary 2 in s110v w/ 'blurple' g10 scales.
thanks for the krv's man!
Nutn, that Lightweight Manix you wrote BEST next to is already out, I've had mine for over 6 months now. The G10 version has yet to be released though. That's the one thing I don't like about Spyderco. They'll say a knife is new even though they've been selling it for the past year.
spyderco is the only knife company my wife will buy me. totally hear ya there, nutnfancy!
You're EDC update this year shows that you already have the Manix 2 LW in S110V.
the lightweight manix 2 with 110 stell is out now and has been out for a while. I got mine already
I really would like to see a Brend/Pirela Mamba review. That thing looks sick. Please let us know what you think!
totally just bought a spiderco! thanks Nutn!
I'd be really suprised if the Nirvana came out at 4.8 ounces... I've made integrals before, and the lightest I could get the Mk12s down to was 5.5 ounces, and that's by tapering the frames and removing 1/3rd of the material and running a very light blade with as much material as possible. The Mk12 was a little longer tho so idk. Integrals... not supremely light, very hard to get them on a diet. It's no trivial matter, you've got a big chunk of Ti there to mill out...
+Will Moon I think people like integrals because they're difficult to manufacturer and technical, not because they're the lightest way to build a knife. Microtech Anax in ~ 5.25 oz in titanium and the Lionsteel TiSpine is 3.6 oz.
If weight was everything then we'd see more carbon fiber handles without liners, a titanium liner lock or sub-frame lock insert and only one standoff / lanyard hole to hold it together. That'd be sick, IMO.
Meh, you can get light with just Ti. My Mk8s are 3 ounces with a 3.6 inch blade and they're a straight Ti framelock. They're just skeletonized like crazy, they don't use a lot of screw which are steel and therefor heavy, and they have a taper on the frames to reduce 1/3rd of the material in the frame. You can get a little lighter with CF or G10 frames and a sub-liner but not a whole lot, not for that size blade.
***** I'm not disagree absolutely that titanium knives can't be light, but if you wanted an ultimately light knife, you'd ditch as much metal as you possibly could.
How much do you lose on your knives going from full steel screws to titanium screws?
You can drill and tap Ti perfectly fine, most all makers do it. It's more difficult to tap than stainless steel, which is why you'll frequently see threaded inserts inset into titanium. I typically thread mill the Ti on my knives and it's never once given me a problem.
You made me love Spyderco. :) really like the paramilitary 2 in the blue g10
Bring back the Delica and Endura G10 models... Thoughts on that @nutnfancy ??
Love the catalog reviews - you totally never reviewed the aqua salt though. I've been waiting a 8 years for the review bro! You did review the Bill Moran, temperence and Perrin Bowie though (as far as spyderco fixed blades) :)
thats a 2 cup of coffee video. Well done Nutn
i been carry the s110 version of manix2 lightweight for also a year now, pretty awesome knife
Blade HQ has the Nirvana listed at $431, I'd rather get a Sebenza.
+DRum886 Check out the Nirvana closer S90V and instead of two pieces of titanium with backspacers the Nirvana's handle is one solid piece of Ti. This really is a superior knife IMHO.
I understand what you're saying, but I would really rather get a seventh at that price point, definitely not knocking the nirvana, it looks really good, but I don't own a sebenza yet, so I want to go with crv.
Sebenzas are nice I am an authorized CRK direct dealer. Let me warn you if you have never handled one before you buy it, you will be underwhelmed but the knife will grow on you the more it is used. There is no such thing as a CRK safe queen unless you get a Damascus mammoths tooth one lol.
A top 5 of the bunch would be cool to narrow the list. May have to watch the video a few times. So many choices. Maybe a few EDC and few in Soldier or go to war folders.
You killed the Serreta purchase on 36:00. Even it is a 440C with special process. I will keep my CS knives. Perhaps a FP street beat.
Sure wish they would make the dragonfly in the same colors as the delica and endura. I need a matching green!
Co-sign! I'd buy a blue Dragonfly in a heartbeat
+Andrew Moniz Definitely
just bought my first spyderco, endura 4 vs 10 blaze orange. As I am keen to losing shit. figured I couldn't go wrong with it for my specific POU. Great Company.
*VG
Manix 2 xl is great for me, my 2 cents. The weight does not bother me considering the size, s30v is nice.
As usual, awesome review! The "Stretch" is very reliable.
Both the mantras look great, btw thanks for the revew of the SOG SPEC ELITE 2 AUTO, i bought it and it is fantastic.
I have always liked spyderco , I mainly buy American made knives the Manix 2 is my favorite .If they only made the Manix X L in a combo edge .I was hoping you might show me one in the 2016 catalogue .
Have you guys done any diving adventures? Would love to see a little of that integrated into the Project.
the manix has been out for a little while now. It's my go to just like the BD1 has been.
