I didn’t intend to modify my blue P.I.T.S., but after the first obnoxiously noticeable scratch on the soft anodizing, I took some stropping compound to it to blend the blemish. I ended with a nice worn-in full denim color. B97637A5-DEF1-4B31-88CB-246FECA6CF8D.jpeg 46E3782B-DA98-4BB6-833A-415915D31D9...

I read a while ago that the first version or two had a compression lock.

Start with a tiny spot of oil on the detent ball track.

I have taken my S110V Manix LW swimming in the Atlantic on multiple occasions with only a hint of rust from between the scales and lock housing back spacer and a tiny bit in the plunge grind of the blade after it wasn’t rinsed thoroughly once.

The ball and spring have no discernible corrosion.

I completely forgot about this and it dawned on me with just 9 Mules remaining!

Got my order in in just a few moments.

Skinny Vintage Westinghouse single Blackline scales. My first skinny pair. Love how it completely changed the knife in hand and in my pocket to something more desirable for me. https://i.postimg.cc/zGzchJCt/346882230-1667007127072537-1556929539638860302-n.jpg Looks good, but I can’t find any info o...

Oh boy! I hope to have a good one this year!

Thanks Kristi!

I generally do not buy VG-10. If a super special knife only came in VG-10, I’d consider it. The high performance Delica comes to mind. I’ll probably buy that. I can’t think of any other model I’d buy in VG-10. Maybe I should try VG-10 again, but it has no appeal for me.

Hey everyone! I also really dislike the thumb ramp in use, so I figured I should share what I did to fix one of my Magnacut Mules... Nice work on the ramp, Attila. Kind of shocking to see a black mule. Well done. Thanks! I apologize, but I‘m not sure what you find shocking. Did you mean “blank,” as...

So, we don’t worry about rust, but how do you guys tackle (or ignore) lubrication? I had an S90V Siren that had some galling between the lock bar and blade tang. Those parts are different metals than LC200N, and I’m not sure how galling resistant LC200N is. Thank! Not disputing what you say, but I ...

Interestingly, someone stated that theirs “had to be around 62 HRC” based on their experience with it. I haven’t seen any HRC tests, but I’d like to know what it actually was.

Hey everyone! I also really dislike the thumb ramp in use, so I figured I should share what I did to fix one of my Magnacut Mules. I used my belt grinder, but a drum sander would work well too. I took down the thumb ramp and then lowered the spine to make it look right. It is amazingly more comforta...

I’ve had some FOMO about this Shaman for the past week or two, and I was really tempted at Sooner State! I already have the 15V Manix and PM2, and the Shaman is NOT $100-$120 better than either of those, so I couldn’t bring myself to finish checkout. 😬 Besides the above, having the Crucarta, orange...

Disregard.

Sorry!!! I didn’t mean to clutter the alert thread!

Cool! Thanks for the explanation! I shortened the nub on one of my Magnacut Mules too, but not that far down. Using a 2x72 grinder, I also lowered the obnoxiously abrupt thumb ramp. I have since reduced the blade height to make the spydiehole sit more symmetrically between spine and thumb ramp. 972C...

Ooo! That’s much more pleasant looking than the product page shows. I think that the straight spine doesn’t work as well on the mules as on others. However, with that nub removed and its final form, I think it works well!

https://i.imgur.com/f2G2yRl.jpeg Happy St Patrick's day. Cheers Just because your logo is on the blade doesn’t mean you always get the knife first. Love my Manix but not going to lie I might try for the Shaman, would be my first. They nailed it on the shaman, love the stonewashed pocket clip and ba...
