Re: Maxamet Native 5 update??

I wonder if it will be in the $169 range or less than that... The Native 5 LW S110V is $3 less than the Manix 2 LW S110V.

I was tempted to wait and see if a Maxamet version was to be released, but after seeing the bump in price for the Manix 2 in Maxamet, I descided that S110V was "good enough" for EDC ;) . Plus, I don't own any S110V, but I do have the Maxamet Mule Team (love it by the way).

Native 5 - the perfect pocket knife?

I just received a Native 5 lightweight S110V today. WOW! First of all, let me tell you what I was looking for. I have somewhat large hands and wanted a 4 finger pocket knife that would also fill my palm, all the way to the heel of my hand. There are lots of big, heavy knives that qualify. But, I wan...

Re: MT-24 MAXAMET Review and Testing

Thank you Jim for your dedication, your patience, and your tenacity! These tests are of incredible value to the knife community.

After seeing your results, I ordered one without hesitation. When mine arrives, I will perform my own extensive test by slicing up 2 sheets of notebook paper. :D

Re: MT24P - Mule Team Fixed Blade with Maxamet

Ordered mine just after the sale opened this morning and already have the shipping notice in my email! This will be my first Mule and it's not even my birthday! ;)
