Nice!

I use this exact same model (Manix 2 LW in REX 45) a lot for food prep too - in the hope that this will lead to a nice patina.
In my use the steel is pretty "stainless" though - not much happening, but at least a bit (I don´t want to actually "artificially" force a patina but see how it develops from more or less "normal" use).

People keep telling Rick this, and each time I have to fully agree... amazing scales, and the option of installing such could be one reason for me to finally get a G10 Manix... (only had LWs so far).

I can only recommend you do get a g10 one. And if possible a sprint run with a nice steel even do i still love s30v. ( I must say i am also still surprised by my other user a hollow ground 154 cm one , that steel is much better then people would think with all the fancy new steels around. )
And if you put custom scales on it really changes the knife to even better standards.

My G10 Native 5, with some flowers on my Jacaranda tree. I bought the N5 over 4 years ago, but never really warmed up to the design. So I decided to bring it out again, really start using it, and give it a fair chance. I'm actually liking it more now than when I first got it.

Glad to hear you are giving the Native pocket time . Great variation . Dan

Thanks, Dan. I figured why not. The same thing happened with my first PM2 (I own 2). I got my first one in 2011, felt the design was boring and overhyped, and it sat on a desk for 6 years. Until one day I decided to take it to work. Then the PM2 became one of my favorite designs.

One of the reasons I never sell off knives. Because you never know...

I have a full SE N5 lw…I’m trying to round out the points because they are super pointy/catchy. Hoping that this will save me from the temptation of either an s35vn or spy27 plain edge 😂

Haven't seen one of these in a while! I feel like Nick is the only other I've seen post one? One of those cool and unique models that's a bit quirky.

It's definitely an oddball. It's my dressy fancy special occasion knife, but I've been trying to make myself carry something different on Saturdays and that's the one I grabbed. It got a lot of hate for having nylon washers but I don't have a problem with them, the action is silky smooth.
