This one seems slightly off-center towards the clip side and I couldn't seem to get it any more centered with a fair bit of fiddling, but it's only a slight nudge and everything else about the knife is flawless. I've had bad luck with Manix 2 LWs having moderate to severe lock stick, but this is the ...

It arrived today, and man it is a looker for sure. So glad they went with stonewash instead of satin; maybe that's just a necessity with 15V, but I much prefer stonewashed finish to any kind of satin. Action and lockup are flawless, and the factory edge is ...

I saw KnivesPlus had a modified 15V LW Manix 2 in stock with their exlusive "midnight blue" AWT scales, and I had to grab one. Looking forward to giving 15V a shot finally.

Got a Military 2 sprint in S90V/CF on the way. This is the only one in the line I haven't tried, so if I'm not a fan of this one I think that'll just be it with the entire series.

MidwayUSA has the Military 2 S90V/CF sprint for ~$228 USD:

I was able to stack a code on top of this (15MUSA I think) that brought it down to like $190 shipped. Seems like a code I had access to not shopping at Midway for a while, but worth a ...

KnivesPlus also has some good quality ones I've used before. These are the ones AWT ships with certain scales like the Native LW that add the washers back.

Ya mine doesn't have that texture on either side. I'm almost wondering if this is even legit, but I've never heard of National Knives selling clones, even unknowingly.

Mine has the matte finish on both sides.


Yea I suspected this is what it was supposed to look like. Like Manixguy said, maybe this missed QC and the show side scale just wasn't finished on the surface.

I'm probably going to swap it over to AWT scales anyway, but still kinda sucks these ...

I just received my new PM2 Salt in the mail today, and while putting on my LynchNW clip, I noticed that the black part of the scales was not quite the same on each side of the knife:

For anyone else that has one of these, is this normal? It almost looked like there ...

I've been regretting selling my PM2 Salt lately. So much so I ordered one of the satin ones tonight when someone mentioned they were back in stock at National Knives. Something about that knife keeps calling me; same for the Bodacious, which I'm just holding out for a better configuration.

I have similar admiration for my Delica Wharncliffe. It does everything well, and makes me wish most blades were generally thinner.


This is one of the knives that has put me pretty firmly on the "thin stock / cutting geometry" folding knife path. The Sage is probably the thickest EDC knife I ...

BladeHQ dropped burple s110 Para 3 no forks special.


Can anyone explain the no forks thing?


From their website:

At Blade HQ, we believe knives are better than forks. Always.

Zero Forks is our rally cry against the restrictions, shadow bans, and dull policies that stand in the way of ...

I have never understood to love for linerless knives. Why? Just to shave a few grams? I want my knife to be as durable as possible. :thinking

If they can't get the linerless micarta to work, sell the knives to DLT as their purple G10 exclusive and to Knife Center as their smooth G10 exclusive. We already know linerless G10 is strong enough.

The clip point Bel-Air is for sure one of my top knives of 2025. It may actually wind up claiming the number one spot, even though my other favorite right now (the S90V Sage 6) cost more than twice as much.

These got announced in Reveal 16 back in November, and as far as I can tell every single knife from that reveal has been released except for both of the CruCarta Natives. Did they run into an issue and get delayed, or cancelled altogether?

The only bad design is the clip placement. It's terrible. Everything else feels really good in hand

I feel like Snecx has this problem a fair bit in his designs. The clip placement on both versions of the Vision sucks too (especially the original WE version).

In terms of open / active use, I did have an older liner lock fail on me once, yeah. Thankfully didn't wind up cutting me too bad for it. I also had one that wouldn't lock out consistently if you slow rolled it open and I had to send back just for safety reasons. I've been more cautious of liner ...
