    or the blue weave CF version, either way, how do you like it? I like a good fast flipper, and LOVE the manix 2 series as an EDC, this seems to be about the same blade shape including the forward choil, but a shorter handle, and flipper/framelock vs BB lock. Looks like a slightly more compact knife, but probably a more solid "high end" feel. Have no experience with 204P/M390, or even the standard CTS-XHP for that matter, but have heard plenty of favorable opinion on both, XHP being like a tough and hard stainless D2, and 204P taking a finer edge, and holding it for a lot longer than S30V. I'm not a huge steel snob, I do like good edgeholding and toughness, but have had some "supersteels" that didn't live up to the hype. Have a manix in S110V, and not thrilled with that steel, it doesn't wear at all, but chips and rolls easier than S30V, so "dulls" and still needs to be touched up about as often as the same knife in S30V, OTOH the H1 in my cheap Spydie serrated lockbacks has exceeded my expectations, insanely tough, I can beat on it, straighten the bent edge(never chipped yet), and it keeps going.

    My bad. My Domino is the blue CF scale model with the XHP blade. I didn't even know that there was a Domino out in another steel. Interesting. To that regard, if you're a Manix 2 fan, you'll find lots to love with the Domino, It's slightly smaller and more refined then the Manix 2 with similar ergonomics and a flipper.

    I'm not hard enough on the knives to really tell you much more about the more exotic steels than you probably already know. The 204P on my Southard definitely holds a fine edge longer than anything else I own and the M390 on my Manix 2 seems to be a great all around blade. I think I treat it rougher than any other Spyderco I own and It's holding up great.

    Just received my black flat ground Delica. Extremely light little knife. If it wasn't a Spyderco I'd feel it was a cheap toy knife. The action is VERY stiff and I worked it a bunch while watching the game last nite and applied a little oil per the instructions but it hasn't loosened up at all. Will it over time.

    Finally some pictures :).

    Forgot to mention, we can order Spyderco knives if anyone is in the market.
