I have been carrying two knives the last several weeks. A larger/smaller blade and a SE/PE. It’s been nice to have both on a few occasions.

The 52100 was my first Manix! The one that started the whole love affair... :pTkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 10:02 pmHaha! You one upped me on the steel with the orange/black combo...interested in what you would come up with here!! :p

No wrong way!
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Ignore the other knife. It doesn't mean anything I swear.
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Not tired of the Manix 2 LW platform yet, but I´ll switch back from my already beloved REX 45 to the BD1N variant for some days, just for a change and for experiencing the great "sharpenability" of the latter steel again: Very easy to touch up to a (for me) high level, and still with better-than-expected edge holding.
The Manix is here seen in one of the oldest castle ruins in Austria (Plainburg):
- On this hill the celts and then the Romans most likely had fortifications already (so about 1200 b.C. to about 200 a.D.).
- The walls that are still to be seen today were built starting around 1100 a.d., and for about 200 years the very powerfull counts of Playen lived and ruled there.
- From around 1300 to 1800 the castle belonged to the archbishops of Salzburg, starting with around 1800 it was not manned anymore and began to fall into ruin...

Oh yeah? Well me and my C95 did some yard work, beat that with your castles and mountains :p
Super jealous of the history in your area. Those are some epic photos! I've started reading about Salzburg because of your posts.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Well, actually yesterday I would have preferred to do some real work with my Manix instead of just letting it pose for a pic and whittle a stick for fun in a ruin castle I run by quite often anyway...
/ Yes, the mixture of pretty wild mountain areas (for middle European standards), woods AND history all around is one of the great things where I live... :)
Actually, personally I even prefer the hidden, remote, secret "small signs" of history to the main sites that many people visit - I like to find old petroglyphs somewhere in the mountains, remains of ancient trails and huts and so on...
Man, I am glad and honored that you started to read about my home country and town (for, as you might have found out by now, there is both a city of Salzburg and a federal state of Salzburg (as one of the nine states the Republic of Austria consists of), the latter being the capital of the former.
Curious, what you might have found about this topic - both concerning history and nature/mountains there is so much to discover here...
Even up to not too long ago times and US related: My mother (born in 1943) still can remember the GIs that were stationed here after WW2 and really liked by the kids, as she says.
And in an alley dated from the middle ages you can still see the damage an US tank has done to the corner of a house when they tried to drive through, but the alley was to narrow for the tank...
You can read up and see pics about this and more here https://www.salzburg.info/en/magazin/ci ... s_a_327678, I´ll copy and paste the text about the tank below:
"A Tank in the Steingasse
Spurred on by our first “find”, we now roam in the direction of the Steingasse. Awaiting us there is a relic from more recent history. Right there on the corner of “Das Kino”, a Salzburg institution and magnet for movie buffs, a chunk of stone broken out of the wall recalls the final days of World War Two. Apparently, it was precisely at this spot that a group of American soldiers managed to get their tank stuck. Rumor has it they had wanted to trundle through the Steingasse so as to pay a visit to a “house of ill repute” known as the “Maison de Plaisir”. The truth of that aspect of the story can’t be verified, of course. But we are certain that the tank was well and truly wedged in on the corner of Steingasse, and eventually had to be cut out. What remains is a nick out of the stone wall. And yet another hidden curiosity in our beautiful, venerable city."

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I really like those! Wish they’d become a regular item. I wonder how a UKPK wharnie would do?
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
What model is that? Very cool.
