Was thinking about picking up one In the Blue CF weave . I've had my eye on them since they first came out a few years ago and got side tracked with other knives and toys lol . Anyway any input from current owners or anyone with there opinion would be appreciated . From the research I've done it seems like a winner and there priced great now after being production for a while . Oh and if anyone wants to throw a few pictures of theirs up here that would be awesome and just may push me over the edge on to the buy it now button :D
 
Very nice knife. Snappy action on the flipper, but still opens easily with the hole. I like a lot of handle real estate, and the domino offers plenty when held with the "choil". Dresses up nicely too.
If you have any other popular spydercos I'm sure we can get some comparison pictures up for you.

 
Wow what a beauty ! I absolutely love the scales .
I've got a modest Spyderco collection I'll post a picture up of some that I own . That's a great idea of some comparison pictures .
 
Thanks , great comparison pictures . It looks like the Manix has a slightly longer blade , is the Domino a pretty good slicer ?

The domino is a beast slicer. Thinnest blade Spyderco I own.

It's possibly underrated, no hotspots, secure grip, killer profile, and of course an amazing slicer.

Awesome I love a good slicer ! Now the juices are really flowing sounds like it's what I hoped [emoji106]🏻
I love a knife without any hot spots but then again who doesn't lol . Sounds like it'll fit nicely in the hand . I've got medium size hands and normally don't have problems even if the knife handle is a little smaller which doesn't seem like its the case the with Domino anyway .
 
How's the lock up on the Domino as far as side to side and up and down play ?
 
Lock up on my Dominos has been consistently stout. Lock bar face is replaceable, but hasn't been a concern.

Domino is Heavily underrated, or atleast surprisingly seldom talked about, considering how sweet I feel it is. Search around here, there are some good threads discussing it.
Silkiest flipper in the current Spyderco line-up!
Great blade shape and size. (I love the Dice as well)

I really like the Domino - its ergonomics are fantastic IMHO and it's a great slicer. I've managed to part with most of my production knives, but the Domino sticks around...And, as Steve says, it dresses up nicely :)

It's funny you mentioned the Dice as it also peaks my interest . My local knife shop has one and was going to check it out last week and got side tracked with a Pro-Tech . Unfortunately they don't have any Dominos so it's going to be a blind buy/order sorta speak . But from what I've read and the input here on BladeForum [emoji106]🏻
It seems to be a no brainier that it's a winner and was what I was hoping and feeling . Everyone here thus far has confirmed it . Beautiful picture of your Domino !
 
Just get it! Best flipper in Spyderco lineup, it's like gliding on ice! Go for the cheaper black carbon and have spketch hook you up with a pretty scale of your choice!
+1 on the Dice, they go together! Inseparable!!

I think there the same price at the dealer as far as the Black or Blue CF . But would love to get some custom scales for it down the road . Yes I can see the dice following shortly after [emoji41]
 
I love my domino. LIke others have said it's a great slicer and feels great in hand. Great flipper as well as middle finger flicker. Highly recommended for sure!

Nice collection ! Love the middle finger flick . Started doing it with my YoJimbo 2 ever since I picked it up .

Thanks! It's a big part of why I have trouble parting with it :) Steve, the first to comment on your thread, did the scale - he does fantastic work.

I wouldn't want to part with it either and I'll definitely be contacting Steve after I settle in with it for a day or two lol . Unless I pick up a Dice also then I'll have to wait . As it is I won't be pulling the trigger until probably Friday and it seems so far away lol .
