How long do you all think they will last?
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
One good thing about pinned construction. It tamps down the urge to spend more money and change out the cage. (Just trying to look on the bright side)
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
I have many slipjoints in 1095 that cannot be disassembled. They don't need it. I've used a GB1 in M4 for years and it's doing just fine without ever having been disassembled. Rivets vs screws is totally irrelevant to me. I don't have a Manix in M4 yet so I plan on picking up this one.
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Pinned is a non-issue for me too. I rarely take any of my knives apart. I recently gave a knife with tool steel a soapy bath in the kitchen sink. I rinsed it out with hot water and then blew it out with my compressor. It's finefanglekai wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 8:31 pmI have many slipjoints in 1095 that cannot be disassembled.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
At this price, how can you not buy one?
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Pinned construction isn't a blocker for me. I'd prefer screws, but only because I enjoy swapping handles/scales. Not really a big deal. I'm a huge fan of the Manix 2 LW over the Manix 2 w/G10. I'm definitely in on this one.

Great steel in a great knife. But my knife money for this part of the year already is spent. Bad timing for the drop.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Yeah. I caved. I really like my Sage M4. Dunno if I'll ever see a Manix for $117 again.
I see that BHQ is selling the BD1N LW Manix for $127, so $117 for the exclusive seems a deal with the M4 upgrade.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Got one on the way! This will be my first M4 knife and I'm excited it's a Manix 2 LW. Now I need a Sage 5 to match.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Got one, too good of a deal with that steel in 2023. I'd probably regret it later if I didn't get one. Looking forward to trying out M4.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Lol, so did I for the exact same reasons. Way too good a price! And that's a heck of a platform for M4, IMO.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
I really wanted to try the LW, and I like steels like M4, Rex 45, and K390. At this price it’s a bugout killer for sure, it’s one of the things I love about exclusives.
Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
Funny you say that, I have two bugouts that I never carry. The M2 LW is much more knife, it inspires more confidence. I weighed my 20CV LW last night and the paltry 2.9 oz (on my scale) cemented my decision to get the M4!electro-static wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 12:29 pmI really wanted to try the LW, and I like steels like M4, Rex 45, and K390.

Re: Blade HQ Mint Green M4 Manix LW
