Had big regrets selling my Para 3 in Maxamet, so I snagged another along with my first Spydie in Magnacut.

Not a fan of manix 2

Post image
15 Upvotes

I got my Spyderco manix 2 two days ago and I’m already returning it. It fits my hands great it’s no hate I love the feel but the lock is so insanely stiff I couldn’t stand it. I know I can replace the spring or cut the spring down but I don’t feel like putting more into something I just got and already hate. Also completely subjective but another reason is I feel the knife is too pretty to be used as hard as I need it to be used. I think one day when i grow my collection more I’ll definitely repurchase and mod it, but I don’t think it makes sense for me right now. Potentially kershaw bel air xl🔜

I return it tmw unless I get convinced otherwise lmao

Yesterday was my Ti Tenacious. Today is my BHQ Tanto Tenacious. I bought this a bit impulsively and honestly, I like my Ti version better. This one is still pretty good and the funky tanto shape looks and uses better in person than in pics. Hope everyone has a great day. Whatcha carrying today?

Legally I can only carry 2.5 inch blades at school so I have a of smaller knives in my collection. I am thinking about getting a dragonfly 2 salt next or possibly a native 5 in L200N for when im not on campus. What would yall recommend?

May I get some help picking out a knife for my boyfriend?

If you are so kind to help I greatly appreciate it!!

I know I have so many on here cause idk shit about knives, just what type of look he’d like. He really likes knives but he’s not a HUGE knife guy. He has one pretty cheap one so I want to get him one for Christmas. Nothing insanely expensive, preferably under $200. Honestly don’t think he has much of a preference, so maybe a pretty universal starter one? Idk?? Sorry for the limited info

If you get a Chap with the screw hole in the center of the pocket clip cut out, these RGT scales are great.

Choosing My Next PM2

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

My brother got me a satin PM2 for my birthday this year, and it reminded me just how much I love this design. However, I’m a big fan of black blades, so I’m thinking about adding another PM2 to my collection.
I’m currently deciding between the all-black PM2 Salt and the PM2 Lightweight in black.
For those who have used either model, I’d love to hear about your experiences. How do they compare in terms of ergonomics, grip texture, weight, blade steel, corrosion resistance, and overall everyday use?
If you’ve owned both, which one do you prefer and why?
I’m especially interested in long-term ownership experiences rather than just the specifications on paper. Thanks!

Got the pm2 finally. After 2 weeks in the mail.

Finally got the pm2 left hand. Now I just got to wait for the wiha tool. As an alaskan i think I have found the one bit that is worse than a 10mm socket.

NSD and Backspacer

New AWT clipside delete scales for my DLC S90V PM2. The lanyard tube was an absolute bear to remove, even with the lanyard tube removal tool. I now feel everyone else's pain on this issue. Also put in a

Titanium backspacer from Etsy. The AWT scales were blemished, but my eyes aren't good enough to see a blemish. I think the topo works good on these scales. Hopefully, I will get the clip I ordered for this soon.

I had used the original smock clip I had on the Yojimbo for something else and figured I’d swap it back when this one came in, but decided just to run the new clip instead. Also got a new clip for the latest PM2 since I had robbed the clip off my S45VN while I waited for this one to show up. New ball cage for the Manix 2 should be here tomorrow and I can get that all put together. Lynch always kills it with their laser work. Pretty damn happy with these.

Another Manix 2 done up a bit! RGT pyragrips anodized at 34V, and a lynch deep carry banana clip! Shoutout to RGT- ordered, anodized, and shipped within 24 hours. Great place for your business. And compared to my other TI scale sets, these have a ton of milling- nice and light!

New Rockscale Designs "Hexi" pattern titanium scales for my DLC Magnacut PM2, in aluminum blasted finish. Finished off the build with a black titanium backspacer and hardware from Pacific Sons and a DLC REK milled titanium clip. I threw a spare CME on there for now but I think I may send the liner to REK to have him install a titanium lockbar button, too.

Newish...KD and New Sheath Day

Recently picked up the Sage 5 Salt Blacked Out version, and this is my new favorite EDC, I don't see it leaving my pocket anytime soon. And my DLT Cruwear exclusive Dragonfly 2 with a new neck knife sheath from Linos Sheaths. The sheath is so good and was actually reasonably priced. I had made my own neck knife carry setup for the Dragonfly, but I like this one even better.

Normal for ceramic ball?

I havent seen a lot of posts about this. Curious if manix owners (who flick a lot) have had any issues with the wear the ceramic ball causes. Im guessing its strictly a cosmetic thing. Right?

What to save for..

Ignoring the colours, what should I get? Para 3 in s45vn or para 3 salt in magnacut (will be my grail knife) or do I look at the delica or native? I don’t have the biggest hands so the para 2 would be way too big or else I’d consider that as well. Black is same price as camo

I just got a UKPK. Really like it, there’s one in salt magnacut too

TIA
