Nice! But arent you missing a few in this picture? By the way how is it to store knives in a case like that? Does the foam keep them dry of do you need to give them a protective coating of some kind?

Two in pockets and it’s great option to store. Air tight when closed

Why is it that some of those are set up for left hand carry, but most are not?

He said two are out and in the pocket’s so I’m guessing he probably carries one in each front pocket. I know some people that do that so they have a knife for either hand in case one’s occupied. I’ve actually thought of doing it myself. I usually have an Izula II on my weak side on my belt horizontal carry just to the left (my left) of my belt buckle that I can grab with my weak hand or cross draw with my right hand. It’s nice to have an extra tough little fixed blade on you.

I think Rick was referring to Apollo’s picture. Some of his manix have the clip on the top or left hand carry and others on bottom or right hand carry. The two missing in my picture are rex45 LW sprint and s110v LW which I like to beat those two up. But do carry two at a time some. One for stainless tasks and one for hard work.

The Manixes with left hand carry are my main users and sit in my front left pocket. ( except for the XL with blue dark matter scales and flytanium lock cage who also is a main user but since the scales only came with right hand clip carry i cant switch the clip )
The others i rotate as second carry’s and there for sit in my right pocket but those rotate more frequently . ( i am a lefty )

So I basically carry 2 Manixes on me. Most of the time its one Bigger and one smaller one. Just to have both sizes.
Off all the knives in the Picture only 3 see no use currently. All others get used. But the ones with the clip on the left side see the hardest use and some times a little abuse like baton some wood for example.

Smoky blue dyerite + yellow frn = brown

Unexpected but I do actually dig it a lot.

Updated photo of the lightweights.

Here is one that I just Rit dyed.

15v with Custom Ramonade Scales.
