What knife to order today?

EDCTAC · #1

So I got the itch, I am dead set on ordering a new :spyder: today. I can't make up my mind :confused: My choices are: the new sprint manix, sage 1, or gayle bradley. Help me make up my mind please :D

Manix sprint is in my pocket right now

BRADLEY, hands down. You need a Bradley and a Para 2. All else is secondary.

Wow...tough call. The new Manix sprint is really a great one. That new texture G10 is superb. And the steel is basically the same as S30V...and the GB is one of my all time favorites.

Overall I would say get the Manix because it is a sprint. It is only going to get more expensive. The Sage and GB are production and are likely never to change or really increase in cost until they are disco'd.

I'm all in favor of Manix2s and Sages (have a number), but if you're wanting just a fine knife for fewer dollars, consider the Squeak.

This.

If you really want THAT sprint, like the others said, get it since it will be easier now, but there's a new Manix 2 Sprint every day. IMO, other than the texture (which just means more chewed up pants), this one isn't anything to write home about. But, if YOU like this one more than the others that have been offered, makes the most sense to get that one.

If you check forums though, the CTS-XHP one still can be had for under $150 though, sometimes closer to $125.

If you think in terms of availability, the Manix 2 Sprint should receive some priority. Both the Sage 1 and Gayle Bradley are regular production knives, and at least for the foreseeable future aren't being discontinued. The Manix 2 Sprint, on the other hand, is limited production and may soon be difficult to find (although from what I've seen, a lot of dealers have them in stock, and they don't seem to be going anywhere).

Good luck choosing, all those mentioned are great knives.

I ended up going with the manix sprint for the above mentioned reasons. I have a regular manix 2 and I love it. I think the GB is next on my list though :)
