When you mean a knife for your off hand do you mean using it with your off hand or just carrying it in the opposite pocket to your strong hand?

I mean for use with my off hand.

And the p'kal is an interesting Idea, something I'll definately try to look into.

Best knife for your off hand?

Hey everyone, I've been looking for a new knife for my off hand. I'm right handed and usually carry endura sized knives for my right hand and I used to carry an endura for my left hand. Until I picked up a delica and dedicated it to left hand carry. I noticed that since it was so much smaller it was...

Not the serrated millie! I'll be needing to pick one of these up, or hope that the fabled Millie 2 will come in full SE ;)

I really like this idea. The only thing ever stopping me from buying a mule was my inability to have a handle made for it or to make my own. With a UKPK that problem is gone. Plus, as others have mentioned in the casual bombshell thread, it's more likely to be EDC'd.

Quick question about the Para 2

Hey everyone, I'm lookin' to get a new EDC and I've got my eye on the Para 2. The only problem is that it may be a bit too small for my hand. The only thing I have that is simillar in size is the Manix 2. So basically my question is if the Manix fits my hand well, will the Para 2? Comparison pics ar...

My favorite spydie that I don't carry is the E4 I gifted to my uncle about a month ago. Although I don't think thats what you had in mind with your original post, lol

OK I've been playing with the Manix 2 for the past few days now. Impressions are: this is a sweet, solid and beefy knife, super fast to open and surprisingly comfortable to carry. It's also awesome in hand, and achieves the same great feel that the original Manix does. I love it. BUT, and this is a...

Seems to me like the drop point ukpk would do the job.

Well so far it's held up to anything I'd ever use a folder for far better than I'd expected. I went out back and did some light chopping on some bushes and a few planks of wood that were lying around. The 154CM is great stuff and based upon what I've seen holds its edge better than VG10. I absolutel...

For me, out of my spydies my endura 4 is the most used. However my manix 2 should be arriving today so that will probably change.

I think there is a step in the lanyard hole where it is wider between the liners and steps to narrow where it goes through the liner. Here is a thread where someone disassembled their Manix. I don't suggest you disassemble yours because it voids the warranty, but you can look at the lanyard hole to...

Hopefully, no thanks to my bad photography skills, this will shed a little light on what's happening. The lanyard tube has some space in between it and the liner. It's seems like its not attatched to the right side liner or the g10 scale like on the left side. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa16...

WOOHOO my new Manix 2 just arrived!

What can I say? It's everything I've read about it here on the forums. It's big and heavy and built like a tank and the cbbl is really cool! Just one thing though, the lanyard tube only seems to be connected to one liner and I can actually pull the back end of the knife apart a little bit. Just wond...

I took apart the regular endura to see if something was wrong but i didnt notice anything out of order. It only seems strange to me because the waved enduras have just about the exact same lock resistance while the regular endura takes a lot less force to disengage. The blade was also pretty loose w...
