Manix 2 lightweight choices or ?
Re: Manix 2 lightweight choices or ?
Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I don’t have a coated blade so am leaning toward black blade FRCP :spyder:
Re: Manix 2 lightweight choices or ?
Good choice!
A little help in caring for your DLC blade...after using it, it may look like the blade is scratched. But, I'd be willing to bet it's actually scrape marks of the material you were cutting and not an actual scratch to the blade. Try some Flitz polish to help remove the marks. I personally like my DLC blades to have a shiny finish to them, so after using some Flitz I dab a small amount of mineral oil on a rag and apply it to the blade and give it a nice, shiny finish.
Just a couple ideas for ya.

Re: Manix 2 lightweight choices or ?
Good! I was hoping you would see it. I thought about grabbing but I generally like the regular manix better.
