Why did they not want to work with it?

Its funny I kept telling myself there's no way it is still sharp, but it was. The carpet I was removing from a jobsite was old and packed with dirt etc, that edge retention on the M4 is Impressive to say the least. So how would S90V compare as far as keeping its edge?

That's no way to treat a knife! Just kidding, I wish I had a Manix in S90V.

My first Spyderco was a Manix2, and since then I am a big fan. What sold me was the construction and solid lockup of the Manix I now have a Para2 on the way, and I am hoping it is as solid as the Manix, but all else aside I would own as many as possible, because it is just fun to own and play with k...

Yea, I am a cutting only kinda guy, especially with knives I love. I have no experience with 390, I hope it is a good steel.

Thanks, I ordered one look forward to getting it and using it. I have a couple of Manix2 and love them, Is the paraM as tough as the manix?
