That looks great! How would I go about doing that to my Sage3?

clip it on a thick leather belt overnight.

Being a lefty I gotta say Manix 2 or Sage 3

I can't say a negative thing about it. It is a great knife!

You have nothing to apoligize for. Thank you for your useful information.

why do some people on this forum only post to make others feel stupid? Last I checked I passed "Knife sense 101", I just didn't know much about DLC coating. NOW I KNOW!

Just spoke to Spyderco and they confirmed that metal polish will dull the DLC blade. It would have been helpful information to know this before I already applied it and dulled the color!!!

DLC is not like those crap shiny teflon coats some use.

I just got my Manix 2 DLC last week & love the knife but...the DLC black seems faded compared to all the advertisements of the knife I have seen (see example). In my picture I just used Flitz polish and mineral oil and that's as bright as the blade gets.

Anyone else have this issue ?

Sage 3 or Manix 2 DLC

Thank you Dan!

Does anyone have any facts that the Manix 2 has had the fixes done that Sal said would be done after the issues back in August with the failures?

Do we know for sure that the fixes have been made?

Sage

Thanks for the advice everyone

I am looking to start "stropping" for the first time and ran across the website "sharpening supplies.com" and wanted to know if anyone has used their stropping products or heard of them. ($25-$35 for a pre-made Strop) If anyone has a better place or idea on how to start this proc...

Great review on the Sage 3. As a lefty it has become my current EDC & I love it!

VashHash------I am about to buy the Manix 2, I can't pass it up after seeing how well it held up after your abuse :) . I would really like to Rit dye the cage buttons like you did and would really appreciate you telling me how you did that without taking the knife apart. " Also I wound up dying...
