Love this knife! Wanted to dress her up a bit though. Found a local shop that could laser engrave the design I came up with. Found a nice Ukrainian embroidery pattern, then added a bug into the design. (look closely). I brought my Mantra for them to test to see what setting to put the laser at so I ...

I’ll give a couple examples of what I consider hard use and the knives I used. I used my GEC 15 sheeps foot to cut through a lot of thick, (3/4”) recycled tire rubber mats. They even have some small bits of metal in them still. The thin blade worked quite well but a larger handle would have been nic...

I love Cruwear, easy to sharpen, easy to keep sharp with touching up on my DoubleStuff, holds a great edge, doesn’t chip or roll easily. The only thing is it can start to rust a bit, noticeable more on my PM2 than my Manix2 for some reason. Even moreso on my Bark River but my Enigma Knives slipjoin...

I dislike the wire clip No love here for blacked out blades S30v is a perfectly good steel I would choose just about any steel before S110v, yes even 8cr13mov! Not a big fan of carbon fibre scales... Except for the cf over g10, that stuff is great! Looks decent, plenty of grip with a nice feel Backl...

Had my spy27para3 for a few weeks now. Used for my typical edc tasks, packages, cardboard for recycling, kitchen, light yard work, nothing particularly heavy but stuff that left my 110v an utter chipped mess and turned my vg10 into a butter knife in similar amount of time. Steels like s30v, 35vn, d2...

Forgive me for saying that I hope never to shake your hand. 165 pounds grip? I'm guessing that a gorilla wouldn't want to measure grip strength against you. Lol! Funny thing is I’m not a big guy, 5’8” 190lbs. But hand strength runs in my family. For example, We discovered way back when my sister wa...

Yes thank you Sal for both reading the posts and taking issues seriously. I find all wire clips will do this, but on some models such as the Kapara, it sits in a spot where it’s unlikely to happen often in my grip. On the Para 3 it’s in a spot where it happened all the time. I tend to grip things t...

Mine just arrived minutes ago! But already I can say I love it! As a lefty it is ideal to flick open, plenty of access to the hole and even opening it with my right hand it’s just fine....... I’m confused by opening complaints? Honestly not sure what's happening with them. Mine was just plain stuck...

Mine just arrived minutes ago! But already I can say I love it! As a lefty it is ideal to flick open, plenty of access to the hole and even opening it with my right hand it’s just fine. I have large hands and extra large hitchhiker thumbs. On top of that, I had a severe injury to my right hand years...

I noticed the twisting more on the Para 3 LW than I ever had on the Dragonfly or the Manix, but I also found that applying just a touch of purple lactate and tightening the clip screw real good was sufficient to stop it for the most part. One of the things I like about the stock P3LW clip is it has...
