Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
The blade itself feels actually about the same and the pivot area of course is not etched . The action is very smooth and drops nicely closing , not sloppy . Feels already broke in . I have done mods on old and newer clips and have found the older clips are more resistant to heat than newer clips . I have never had a problem with new clips using heat after stripping but get best results in look from the satin clips. The coating on Salt model clips have a different special coating and takes patience to remove . Once coating is removed the mod is very rewarding and unique since clip is Titanium. The blade should only be wiped down with an oil like WD40 , never use a polish paste , it will ruin the etching .

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Such a cool shot! Etching was the way to go with those two.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
The Stretch XL has been a big surprise for me . I gifted my last one so had to get another because I missed it so much . Shot taken on a freshly cut tree stump.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Wow Dan! You’ve got some great photos in this thread. I’ve been missing out. I really need to start checking these other sub forums besides the general. Keep up the great work!
Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I'm surprised how many regulars around here stick to the general stuff. We have a lot of fun in the off topic section as well! Probably a group of 20 of us or so, join us brother!

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Me to these forums are much more fun and positive then general discussion.
And Dan can make crazy good pictures.
Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Hey Rick! I do partake occasionally there. But it’s dangerous territory. One minute I’m posting a pic, the next I’m scouring dealers to find stock and check prices
Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I know right. Never the same thing twice either. But like I said above, pics are very dangerous for me. I’ve already located an ATR at a reasonable price, and am eyeballing a ManixXL…

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Brought this out this afternoon. I really admire the craftsmanship that went into the Kiwi .

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
You won’t regret the ATR2 , I wish they would come back out with a Sprint. The Cobra hood is great to use opens up with gloves very well .

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I've always thought those Kiwis were great looking knives! Nice handles on that one Dan.
