Re: An ongoing mystery: Why still no ffg Manix 2 SE? (NOT meant as a complaint)
serrations are fragile and the Manix 2 is more of a tough knife. That has not been my experience. I've found that serrations cut some tough materials better than a plain edge. When the job is complete, the serrated edge is still suitable for continued use, while the plain edge can be disappointingl...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I think the mechanical goodness of this design in such a small package is very cool!

Re: WSJ - Best Chef's Knives
Production Shun’s you can get from Williams-Sonoma is what got me started, I have four of them and use them all, great knives. But….my Muneishi Santoku was a complete eye opener, love this knife! I do plan on having a custom made from a forum member who regularly frequents Glocktalk, I know I want 8...

Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?
Born in 1965, so technically Gen X. Got to be a kid in the seventies and eighties and it was awesome! Stayed outside from sun up to sun down, learned to build and fix things, then break them and fix them again! I was turned loose with both a chainsaw and a Marlin .22 lever rifle at the age of 12, an...

Re: Dragonfly vs. Lil' Native
I own four Dragonfly's, couldn't tell you the last time I carried one? Years! I also have a Compression Lock Lil' Native, never carry it either. But both fantastic little knives. My go to small knife now is a K390 Lil' Temperance, carrying it right now. But...a Back Lock G-10 Lil' Native with serrat...

Re: My First Bento Box Shop Experience
Back in 2017, it was $190 ($221 out the door). To this day, it is my favorite PM2 and Spyderco. For a while I thought about getting a backup, but haven't yet. Seems like price is creeping up the longer I wait. If I had to replace it, I would pay what it goes for. Few of us here have been asking for...

Re: CRUWEAR Is now my Favorite SE blade steel
I really like my SE Ayoob, but I LOVE my Cru-wear Manix 2 sprint run, a serrated Cru-Wear Manix would be an instant buy for me, maybe two of them!

Re: Good second Spyderco
LeafJumper! Either edge you prefer, and in either K390 or VG-10, fantastic design!
I have a serrated K390 that impresses me more everyday.

Re: Is this the knife everyone clamors for?
If I ever run across a back lock Manix out in the wild I’ll buy it right then! I bought another Manix this past Saturday at my LGS, a plain Jane G-10 S30V, no box. Don’t think it’s ever been carried or used, action is slick as glass and it’s super sharp! Offered the guy a hundred dollar bill out the...
