Where from? Ordered mine from midway, will be only my 2nd knife of 2014 (first was my P’Kal purchased in march). I figure this is gonna be one I rotate the P’kal out with, not a user cause of the steel.
Spyderco UKPK with polished blade (CTS-BD1 is almost as easy to polish as H1), rounded and thinned spine and top jimping removed to make it more of a gentleman’s knife.
I’m wanting my first Spyderco pretty badly, can’t decide on the Manix 2 or Paramilitary 2. I like the DLC either way. Seem to favor the blade shape on the Manix 2 but the lock on the Para 2.
I did notice the clip allowing deeper carry. I don’t have anything against the polymer cage (shot comp with a Glock 23) but I don’t know about the spring and possible defeatability of the lock from dirt in the field. All my knives are liner locks or mono-locks to date.
Thanks for the tip, was leaning towards the Manix 2 but didn’t know about the compression lock.
I can’t presume to know what your needs and likes in a knife are, but I’ve looked and held manix 2s, but could never commit. Personally, I find it way over built and heavy. This is just my personal opinion. Right now I’m looking very closely at the Spyderco Domino. The blade is the same “leaf shaped” and only a little shorter than the manix2, and comes with a titanium framelock. It comes with a flipper that operates flawlessly without having to apply pressure in just the right amount at just the right spot. Look at the new version with the blue weave carbon fiber grip as compared to the less attractive CF/G10 laminate composite.
