Nice VERY early morning mountain-trailrun (3.5 hours entirely still in the dark...).
Salt 2 SE with me.
Not exactly making the running vest really heavier...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
I am sure you do still like it or like it even more after some use - ?!

Nice! I hope we get to see more knives in CPM 4V. Specifically, a Military.
Me too! I've been fortunate enough to grab them in my two favorite models (Manix/Shaman) but I certainly would NOT pass up the chance at a Military or Native Chief as well. That 4V is done just right on these in my opinion. Holds a great edge, was easy to reprofile as well. 2 big traits for me!'
Just this morning I had one of my regular truck drivers that knows I'm a knife nerd. He asked if I could cut one of his ratchet straps that was stuck/broken and he couldn't release my freight that was behind it. The tension was very tight, I swear I just barely used any effort with this Manix and it just glided right through that strap and let out a loud "snap" as it broke free. He was pretty impressed! Said I'm scary dude getting knives that sharp

Yep, steel, design, quality... all pretty much perfect on this compactly sized cutting edge monster.
So glad I decided to give it a try.
