Hello! Looking for some opinions on the Sage 5 LW vs Manix 2. Reason I picked the two was because of similar blade shape and handle shape. Opening mechs are obviously different however. Couldn't find any posts on a VS between these two specific knives, so I made one. Both amazing knives for sure ...

Haven't done any sharpening yet, but I'll probably reprofile the edge to 17 degrees on a WSPA. Will let you know how it turns out!

Hello! I'm planning on sharpening my Manix 2 15v up a little. I've heard that 17 degrees is the sweet spot but as 15v is more brittle then the standard s30v ones, what angle would I reprofile my Manix 2 at? Will be used but not abused, will likely used for more outdoors then as an EDC.

Hello! My 15v Manix 2 seems to have a steeper angled edge on one side compared to the other side. Not sure if this is normal or if I should worry about it. It's not insanely different, just enough to notice when i flip the knife over. Thanks!
