I don't have a Waterway, unfortunately, but will say that it actually isn't super grippy. It's just the right amount, in my estimation. The "ribs" make it lock into the hand well, so there's that. That is tremendously useless feedback in an entirely unobjective way, I'm aware.Excellent additions!
Out of curiosity, how coarse are the grips on the M2? How would they compare to the typical frn grips or the grips on the Waterway (if you have one to compare)?
Excellent. I'm really just curious to know whether it will chew up my pockets faster than other Spyderco scales. I'll assume this one is somewhere between Spyderco's FRN and a Cold Steel Voyager.I don't have a Waterway, unfortunately, but will say that it actually isn't super grippy.

I can tell you factually that this definitely will not tear up any pockets. I imagine if this knife gets wet, it probably will be grippier, but just as an EDC knife, you'd be fine. It's just a large, super pointy, thin slab of MagnaCut, and I don't think you'll go wrong if you can get your hands on one.Excellent.

I thinkI have a Waterway. a couple of Military 2's & a variety of FRNs. What's the question?![]()
The MagnaCut variant was my next purchase. You beat me to it. Well-played!A couple more Spydies have joined the collection:

I thinkQuiet already covered it, but my general inquiry was whether the grips on the Magnacut M2 are coarse enough to shred pockets, especially in comparison to Spyderco's frn grips and the super coarse grips on the Waterway.
What do you think? Try the steel out yet?
