It probably doesn't matter. But the more you work on things that don't matter, the more experience you'll have when it really does matter. See if you have a delicate enough touch to stone away the high spot without scuffing up the rest of the side. It's the Shaolin Priest equivalent to walking on ri...

Disassembled the knife and noticed something...

I suspect that the deformation you notice is the threads being stretched, perhaps from over tightening. If you don't like it, take a stone to it. It won't take more than a minute to flatten that surface.

Would be cool to be able to purchase it in this configuration.

You made the request on Thursday night,
and Sal has it in production and revealed by Friday morning.
Impressive.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Be well.

Are you talking about the pivot or the lock?
On almost every Manix I have, I've chopped the spring to reduce preload. One could argue that it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, but it makes me happy so I do it.

These little pressure washers seem to do a reasonable job. Now I want one of those fancy foam cannon.

It could be one of two knives that are most likely to find their way into my pocket nowadays. The first is an Endura K390 LW SE. I carry it most days. I can count on it to hack through anything that is hackable. The other knife is the Stretch 2 XL CruWear. The plain edge is more sensible for many t...

The link was pretty clear about removing Loctite from threads.

So welcome member #0054? We will get these question marks removed once the ad in the newspaper runs for a week requesting any previous claims or paternity claims. Yes, please. This is perfect, as it just happens to be the size of Rosie O'Donnell's undergarments. How "fitting." And even if...

I have been hacked by my old archnemesis at the Under Drawer Club. When I first heard of this "Sock Drawer" group, I thought it was a bunch of foot fetishists. But now you're telling me that among you are a sub-culture of underwear thieves? Sick! How does one join up? And suppose someone ...

I'd like to see the Manix LW become a showcase for different steels in serrated form through sprint runs.

Nooooooo!!!!
I wouldn't be able to resist!

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...

The latest news out of the European Union is that Victorinox is completely abandoning their failed pocket knife endeavor, and has secured a contract to equip the Swiss military with modern main battle tanks.

I'm not a football watcher, so the event didn't really hold that much appeal for me. Are you talking about Nikki Glaser? That girl cracks me up. She had her own show for a while. I might have watch the Tom Brady thing just to see her.

Why so many discontinued? Poor sales. Why the current offerings? Because Sal and company are still trying. The market has shown that we say we want exotic materals but what we actually want is lower prices. That's an interesting assessment. I have no data to support nor refute your contention, but ...
