Here are pictures of both with the same grip on them. I find that without doing a back and forth A/B comparison, e.g., carry one on one day and the other on the next, I can get used to either one. The Manix 2 with it's more pronounced finger grooves-especially if I place my hand in the forward posit...

mc_laren, With regards to the grind on top of the Round Hole, I think that’s normal machining and grinding tolerances. Here’s a photo of a gray Para 3, a green Caly 3, and two Chaparrals. That edge on the Para 3 looks the most crisp of all of them, but it's “soft” on this one compared to all the oth...

Interesting... and weird I live at about just 430 m (= 1410 feet), but very frequently hike or run or climb (or partly drive) up to between 1500 and 3700 meters (= 4920 to 12140 feet). Climate can change a lot either concerning humidity and so on Never experienced what you describe! Could be of cou...

Well, yeah, but I meant for reasons other than that. :D

Has anyone else ever seen this happen? I've driven from Colorado (CO) to California (CA), then back. When I last left CO I had the blade opening friction adjusted on my Para 3's set the way I like them. When I got to CA two days later the blades had a lot more drag. The first thing I did was to make...

I've use a Sharpmaker for more than 25 years. I upgraded to the latest model in the past couple of years because the Tri-Angle rods can be used at different angles now. I've got the diamond, brown and white Tri-Angle rods. Here are a few things I've picked up over the years. I can't claim any are an...

I've looked at different bar graphs, read different articles, and collected knives with different steel. I think CPM S30V, or CPM S35VN are very well rounded steels for the average user. A new one that's in that same neighborhood is Spyderco's CPM SPY27. There are several types that will hold an edg...

I and a few coworkers are known carriers. Sometimes we'll do a pocket dump and check out each others blades. Our lead tech has walked into the lab and caught us in the act every once and a while and it appears he has an interest, but doesn't own or carry a knife. He really took an interest in a frie...

Back in January one of my cats CATapulted off the bench launching both white triangles off the bench. One triangle hit the other and took a chunk right out of the edge in the middle of the triangle. Luckily I can still use them both. When sharpening curved blades I can steer around the missing chunk...

Someone on one of the S&W forums started a photo thread of "Revolvers And Knives," so I threw this shot together and submitted it. One of my "helpers" was sitting on the windowsill above the glass swatting her tail back and forth. I had to time it right so I didn't get a tail...

I don't have enough pixels to do that. :eek: :D

I took my Rocks Glass into work to show it to some of my coworkers. The knife carriers thought it was great and even the non-knife people were impressed by it, too. Whether they imbibed or not everyone thought it was cool and unique.

My Mantra and when I go to work my Lil' Native, too.

I used my new Endura W/Emerson Opener to slice up an apple, and an onion, avocado, and a tomato for a salad. Then, I opened a box of Trader Joe’s Tuna Burgers and the vacuum bagging Inside. I bought this model of Endura to try out as a kitchen knife. I wanted a lower height blade, edge to spine, but...

I got one yesterday. I find that when I pick it up by the finger choil the edges are a bit sharp. I’m going to break the edges with the Sharp Maker rods.

A Hanan or a CF Chaparral. They make me look sharp. (Get it?)

I'm sporting my Delica 4 FRN W/ Emerson Opener.
