I've also been carrying a SS Cricket daily for several years, mine is a PE and it doubles as a money clip. I like the slim profile of the SS.

Greyb, I would send it in. Did you buy it new, and if so did you contact the dealer? Are those screws stripped out or is it just look that way to me in the pictures? Looks like someone used an impact wrench on it :)

Nice collection! I'm just glad they slowed down a bit cause I was having a hard time trying to collect them all myself. I was always an original Manix fan so of course I had to have these as well, I did get rid of a couple after finally collecting them all including both Pilot variants but still hav...

Don't give up on your lost Dyad, many a lost spydie have found there way back home so I wish you the best of luck. I sold one recently or I would help you out, they are pretty hard to find and fetch a good price.

I can only comment on the one black bladed knife I owned which was the first version Para and it did show a lot of scratches, It didn't hamper it's use as an EDC however. I have read that it can indeed cause more harm then good to the blade like you mentioned but I did not see that on mine.

I agree that production knives can't all be sharp, but 99% of them should be, shouldn’t they? Of course when you think about someone sitting there sharpening some 20,000 plus Manix 2's I am sure mistakes can be made. Not sure if anyone inspects that work or if they go straight to the box?
