Cruwear Military and DLT Red PM2

Ordered

I've not gotten past "server not responding" in about 15 mins.

ETA: DLT msrp $245 35% discount, BBS msrp $217 12.5% discount. Stock PM2 $216 msrp. If I understand it correctly, the BBS msrp is that low because the contract with Spyderco likely wasn't updated on subsequent orders of the old PM2 exclusive configuration. How long ago was the BBS Smurf blue first ...

You reminded me to make sure my DLT account is all squared away. Thanks!

Thanks for the reading material for my down-time at work!

They're always excellent articles!

My S110V Manix LW was my Atlantic swimming/beach knife before I got any Salt models. The blade remained spotless after several submergings and not being cleaned immediately. Some of the hardware (backspacer only I think) leached a tiny bit of red rust color, but it wipes off easily.

And it's back with 2 in stock:

The Endura is light, but it still makes a lily pad sink...

Hahahahaha thanks for the data point!

I hope everyone here got their orders in cuz it's "discontinued" per KC:

It's definitely very smooth. Not the polished Cruwear PM2 smooth, but maybe almost as smooth feeling as the Native. It's weird, since with such a matte finish, I'd expect the smoothness to feel very different. I think it'll show any greasiness that gets on it. I don't have it with me, so I can't ver...

The Manix is truly matte black. It has virtually no reflectiveness. Here's the comparison of the old smooth Native 5 to the new smooth Manix. I angled the shot to try to highlight the difference in reflectiveness at their most reflective in indirect sunlight:

I prefer the CBBL over all other locks because it is so easy to use, fidget friendly, ambidextrous, very strong, and has self closing like a backlock. I want more models, bigger and smaller, with the CBBL. Mine don't disengage as easily as Vivi's, but I've can disengage all of mine with one thumb. I...

Looks like that smooth Manix sold out quick! Idk your feelings about Knifecenter's backorder/preorder track record, but they are taking orders for their next deliveries of this Manix. It's worth doing that if you want one and haven't ordered one yet. They told me that they are selling them as their...

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

I thought these were the same scales as the native smooth g10? I think they are the same The green S90V Native and the Cruwear PM2/Para 3 have different scale finishes. The green Native is just smooth (not polished) and has little dimples in it. The Cruwear PM2/Para 3 are completely polished smooth...

That smooth green G10 Native is actually really pleasant in use. It's just smooth, not polished and has little dimples that seem to help with grip. I really like that it doesn't tear up my pockets. If it were polished, I wouldn't like it due to being too slippery. While I'll still get one of these M...
