Love my endura Hap40. This has me thinking about the Stretch 1 variant…

Still in stock. Rit dye is your friend. I’m still enjoying the factory bevel, plan to reprofile soon.

In general, I prefer ramps, but find choils limiting. This leads to conflicts. Military family: ramp is too steep when using the choil. Thumb too cramped. Ramp/ergos perfect when gripping behind the choil, but edge much too far from my hand than I wish. Manix: Less of above, as ramp is less steep, b...

IMG_3022.jpegDoc Dan you’ve inspired me to give my Dragonfly a chance clipless. 👍🏼 Clipless is the best type of Dfly. Only my salt I keep the clip on for a life vest. All others ride clipless in the pocket. Too light to notice. Easy to index correctly when grabbing to pull out in the right position...

Delica wharnie k390. Glad I snagged one. Very impressed by its performance.

If I had known this was coming, wouldn’t have gotten the Manix LW last March. My first Rit dye job and it came out a much more tolerable shade. And have come to really like the steel.

This is my favorite model, so probably won’t be able to resist. Still have the dye waiting.

I imagine if you play around with different non-perpendicular variations in positioning you can split the difference and even things out. Would still likely be a wider bevel at the extremes of the stone’s reach from the center of the clamp, but you could minimize it as much as possible, and maybe it...

I recently did the M4 Manix mint green variant. Pinned construction, so can’t take apart. Removed the clip and otherwise tried my best to keep the blade out of the bath. No problems. The dye will settle to the steel a bit but you can easily wipe/brush it off. Just rinse it well with hot to cold tap ...

Back and forth between the Seki/military style full thumb ramp and the leaf blade half ramp. But the no ramp? Naw, for me.

Would love a Sage Salt

Backlock. Yes.

.... I keep coming back to look at this picture about twice a week. This is really, really, really a nice green! :smlling-eyes Agreed. For me personally much prettier than the mint. Hey thanks. I’m happy with how it came out particularly since it was my first dye attempt. Sort of an REI shade of gr...

3:1 ratio of peacock green to graphite and came out somewhere between forest green and olive. Looking forward to getting to know this model more.

Several weeks into this one and I am still liking it. Impressed with the M4. Haven't yet done a ton of cutting but the factory edge still impresses me. We'll see when it needs touching up. Going hiking on Thursday, it will be my pocket companion. Awesome. Please report back! I’m intending to try my...

Really stoked to have a Dragonfly LW again, thanks to a very kind forum member. Better yet, it matches my PM2!



Thanks again Andrew, really enjoying this knife!

Looks great! Glad it has a good home. Enjoy

That is what I would do. Or suspend it in someway if you want a darker color and it will be bathing for longer. I believe some directions call for adding salt and or vinegar. I skip that part. I do add a tad bit of Dawn Dish soap. That allows the water to penetrate a little better into the material...

My first Manix and I’m liking it. The scale color though…

How does one Rit dye a pinned knife with tool steel? Hold it by the blade while dunking it and get it dry as quickly as possible? Bad idea?

Love seeing these pics, thanks all.

I have a mint green Manix coming, bought despite of the color. Never dyed scales before much less on a knife I can’t disassemble. Any pointers on how to dry it after dying to avoid corrosion? Or am I overthinking this? Thanks.

I think I am more than content with my beloved REX 45 version for a tool steel Manix LW (also love the burnt orange scales, but mint would not be my first choice). Trying to keep my line up slim too. Should I ever loose or break my REX 45 Manix LW though (both very unlikely), I'd probably kick myse...

I bought the recent dragonfly and enjoy it. But, Endura in this except satin blade would be ideal
