Wow that looks amazing!

Thanks guys! Now you know I am in. Actually this is one I may need buy 2 of. I wouldn't care what color scales it had. I know also John Grimsmo has some nice aluminum para2 scales in the works.

Thanks for sharing. Would be great if you could share your further thoughts once you've tried it some more. Tan M4 Manix2.jpg Today I took my M4 Tan M2 and cleaned the pivot twice with Isopropyl Alcohol. After it dried I squirted in some Frog Lube. Worked it in quite a bit then coated the blade. Th...

Yep love the Manix2 M4 from bento. Since I bought it is has been what I reach for.

I am with you guys. I think I may try and do a simple pol: "Would you buy and M4 para2?".

I am with you guys!

As I mentioned, I use primarily Tuf-glide and Militec for protection and lubrication. But a friend of mine (who is an avid bicycler) told me he uses Finish Line Ceramic Wax Dry lube http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/ceramic_wax_lube.htm I've tried it on a couple of my knives, and it is interest...

Yes thank you! I have been ignoring that thread in case one specific member feels the need take shots at Sal.

I've never been courageous enough to wash my knives in water. I imagine the water staying between the liners and scales, and in the pivot, even after using a hair dryer on it. I'm not a big fan of iron oxide. I'm sure the people who do it don't have a problem. I use a can of compressed air and clea...

Depends upon what I am doing and the knife materials. Typically I clean the blade with either dish soap or rubbing Alcohol. I lube the pivot with tuff-glide. I really like the product because it doesn't attract lint, sand, etc. There for I end up having to clean the knife less. I have found that M4 ...

i listed 3v but 52100 or cpm m4 would also be great for me. I don't recall any production folder ever made in 52100. Pretty much everything else has been done before somewhere. I have a 3v strider smf for example. I like every steel on that list. I just like some more than others. Joe +1 For me 3V ...

I use tuff-glide in the pivot area and the blade. Not problems with rust or corrosion on my M4 Millie or my M4 Manix2. My experience is M4 needs to be dried after washing and that is about it.

For me I have zero interest in stainless and love Blue super. However have never had any problems with rust and like patina. :D

Zerimas wrote:Based on my thread, there seems like there is some demand for a Stretch in Blue Super. Can we please have on, with micarta scales? Maybe in burgundy? What does everyone think?

Ok have to admit I like that set up!

hmm, no , it must have been my sharpening when I tested that or I got a flukey hair. I just sharpened up and tested again and mine and hers both popped , maybe it was the hair i plucked from my head that day. im no hair scientist :D Me either... Sure fun to experiment though. My dog just donated a ...

I don't know about anyone else, but I like to shave off the hair around my nipples... tests sharpness and keeps my wife enjoying my nipples, LMMFAO! **** there I go bringing my inappropriate behavior to a forum. :rolleyes: just pray to god no one scares you in the process or you will be one less ni...

razorsharp wrote:my hair doesnt pop it splits, my sisters pops :D

Interesting :) You have theory on that?

I test the sharpness by splitting a hair, it has to be splitting hair (or popping one in half) with ease both ways as im an OCD sharpener :D . The other test I do is the 3 finger, I sharpen my edges semi polished rather than a full polish, that way I pass the 3 finger test, though I can get a polis...

A super Blue D'fly is possible, but I would guess that a larger blade would be better to take advantage of the slicing ability? sal A larger blade would be my preference! Yes. In addition, the Dragon fly lends itself more to utility stuff, and forgetting it on the bedside table. It's too much of a ...
