Comes in from growers on skids usally with shrink wrap on and sort the boxes on skids to go to

Relabeling boxes. So I use the knife for cutting shrink wrap, sometimes strapping and cardboard.
I don’t think I am allowed a fixed blade where I work.

That style of tip will at least minimise damage if you drop it. Otherwise I doubt that you'll easily break the tip off something like the Pacific. Maybe a very small chip but nothing that can't be sharpened out.
We work in very similar work environments. I still think the Delica or Endura Wharncliffe would work amazing for you. The hump of the blade makes for the perfect spot to place a gloved finger for opening boxes with precision. If the handle is too small, what about set of custom G10 scales to give it a bit more size? You could pick up a Delica or Endura (or even a Salt Wharncliffe, although I don't like the lack of liners for hard work) and set of scales for about the cost of a Manix 2. I also keep a Para 3 in my work rotation for days I know we're getting a lot of shipments with thick straps and think that would be another great choice. I tried out the 20CV Manix 2, but it was just too dang big.Cao87 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 12:38 pmOk I work a floral warehouse where they ship flowers to the US and Canada. Anyways product

Actually here in Canada we are most certainly allowed these knives. I’m not a lawyer but have looked into it. We are not allowed autos or Bali songs but that’s about it. Axis or similar, backlock, frame or linerlock, compression, buttonlock, even assisted knives are all perfectly legal. The Canadian border service has simply decided to reinterpret some rules about what is allowed to be imported. (I’ve ordered a few now since the reinterpretation without issue). Once they are here they are legal to carry as long as the intention is not for self defence or to harm others. Individual jurisdictions have some added rules such as no knives in places that serve alcohol, or in schools etc. Workplaces often have their own rules too.Cao87 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 10:53 amActually I like the manix but because of the locking mechanism
And that I live in Canada they don’t allow knives. With any kind
Of axis lock or wrist flick or something like that so I am looking
For something like tenatious with the liner lock or something with a back lock
Cao87 at $80+ For a pancake sheath like this I think it’s a little too much money if you ask me. I spent about that on some leather, a punch, wax cord, dye and clear coat finish. I’ve already made two sheaths an I have enough leather to make 2 or 3 more.ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:18 pmI follow these guys on instagram, they make knife, flashlight, and pen holsters.
