Looks cool, like it... but have to admit: I think I don´t know which model this actually is... :o

EDIT: Southard, right?!

Skeeg is correct! Mantra 2.

I'm generally not a huge "flipper guy," but I picked this one up at a great price when it was DC'd a couple years back (2019 maybe?) and I ended up really liking it quite a bit. It rides exceptionally well in the pocket.. very narrow and discreet, but with a relatively large sharpened blade length (3.22in/82mm) in an overall package that is more compact than the average Spyderco knife due to the lack of a large Spydie-hole and blade hump. I appreciate that sometimes. It wouldn't be my first choice for any heavy duty tasks, but as far as an edc/around the office/"gent's"-type knife.. It's really good.

It's a lot stouter than one might initially think. 3mm stock in a blade that isn't very tall. The M4 can be taken down to less thank15 dps to make it slicier with adequate structural integrity.

Looking forward to your review. Been wondering about anti-corrosive properties of BD1N as well as its edge performance. I see you have SE, but do you also have a PE version?

I left one covered in lime juice over night with no corrosion the next morning.

Not yet, just a pair of SE. I'll try to remember to order a PE next time I buy a knife.

Thanks Vivi. Since you have the 1.3mm serrated blade, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the issue of blade drift when using serrated blades and/or how thickness of blade stock and thinness of serrated grind correlates.

The Z cuts, particularly the SE version is a great knife for the price and has been talked about a few times over the past few months. I can't think of the threads off the top of my head, but doing a little search you can probably find them.

Maybe I can write a review after I finish my Street Beat review and Chief impressions.

Uggghhh...all these glowing posts on the Chief, in my favorite steel...is tempting me to spend $170 I didn't plan on spending!! I miss my Military as my one folder that stands out against the rest because of it's size, seems like this could be a great replacement for it.
The Chief does look tempting...

So what happened to your Military?
Did you lose it? :(
