Great composition!
One can almost hear the dwarfs talking about the Stretch XL... (... perhaps you should point those little guys towards a DFly or Lil Native... )

Manix on breakfast duty
Current collection: Manix 2 LW Rex 45 + Maxamet, Delica 4 Green Zome VG-10, PM2 S45VN, Ladybug K390, REC Exclusive Shaman, Stretch 1 HAP40/SUS
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
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).

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
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.

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.

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 edgeJames Y wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 9:08 amManixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 1:37 pmGlad to hear you are giving the Native pocket time .

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.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
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.
