Hey Benben,

Check out Shadow Systems. A US company founded in 2016 making firearms in the US going after the Glock Market. I've got their CR920.

Sorry for the off topic.

Colorado company too. I’ve met someone in the family behind it. They seem like a really good company!

Re: EDC recommendation: Native 5 LW – S30V or SPY27?

S30V and SPY27 aren't dramatically different in performance. However, one knife is black, and the other blue. What color do you think is cooler? That's the one you should go with. This sums it up. Although I might add the spy 27 is more “special” or rare than s30v. NOT necessarily better.

Re: Shaman 15V, Bad QC

Even if they are a flipper, why should you guys care? It’s not like they're hoarding them or destroying them specifically so no one else can have them. The people who want them still get them, they just pay a little more money for it. Think of it as a convenience fee - Fight the crowds to get one l...

Listening to people complain about flippers and the free market is like watching someone shaking their fist at the sky, complaining that it’s blue. Since the thread has morphed into the topic of flipping... What some people call a "free market" is a network of complex rules and regulation...

Re: Shaman 15V, Bad QC

Complaints about the practice of flipping does NOT mean someone missed out on the knife du jour in question. Big assumption by a lot of folks. ;) Side note: if you feel this way the knife is still available at Knife Center. Actually, no. It went OOS 30 minutes prior to your post. Touché. However I ...

It’s his own business to sell it or not. He had a very specific question about QC and then everyone assumed that the fact that he might be a flipper gives them license to bully and dog pile on him. Can we all just act like adults. It seems like everyone is getting salty that other people managed to ...

Re: Why is the PM2 more popular when the Manix 2 is objectively better?

I appreciate how the lock on the Manix doesn't wear down as quickly however in most cases I find the pm2 to be a more practical knife. The Manix is still great and I kinda like it more, but in use, the pm2 is much slimmer in the pocket and has more versatile ergos. The Manix seems to be better for h...

Re: Manix Modifications. What have you done? What do you want to do?

Here is how I modify mine. I love the knife in this size! https://i.imgur.com/o5kucFM.mp4 So the tap was compatible with the original screws? How did you tap the clip holes? I drilled the holes on a drill press and tapped them by hand with a 2-56 tap using a pin vise. You just have to go slow and u...
