Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Yes it does set them apart . I do know someone who has the first Manix 2 in hollow grind . I hope he will sell it to me someday .

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Those are a rare sight. I have a used hollow dlc Manix 2. I use it now and then that hollow ground dose works very good. But a full flat Manix looks way better.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 1:25 pmYes it does set them apart . I do know someone who has the first Manix 2 in hollow grind .

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I think a high hollow grind done well and thin bte is the best EDC.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
That was the problem with that generation of Manix 2 for me the hollow grind was not high enough for my taste.
I can not say i prefer one of the 2 but both hollow as full flat works very good for me.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I stand by that it is my belief the Gayle Bradley 2 is one of the best blades Spyderco makes (detent is poor on the model). I wish we could see more of that. That said, I'll EDC FFG anytime.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
I like the look of they Gayle Bradley 2 and my brother loves his but it is one of the few knives spyderco makes i can not proparly use the lock from as a lefty. And that is saying allot since i have no trouble with other linerlocks or compression locks or any lock i can think off.JSumm wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 8:32 pmI stand by that it is my belief the Gayle Bradley 2 is one of the best blades Spyderco makes (detent is poor on the model).

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Definitely not a great model for lefties. Which is a shame. That blade needs to be utilized in different designs.apollo wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 4:33 amI like the look of they Gayle Bradley 2 and my brother loves his but it is one of the few knives spyderco makes i can not proparly use the lock from as a lefty.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
Thank you ! Yesterday walking around the oldest part of cemetery I was able to see stones dated back to the 1840’s . A lot of the stones have broken and lay flat on ground beyond repair an are very weathered. I only lay knives on a stone and never move them out of respect . The stone makers at that time were very artistic with many types of themes at top of markers to make them unique.

Re: MG2 Beginner Shots
When I first posted this picture some time ago in Pocket thread, another post had this picture on a monitor screen with same knife on the desk . I thought it was very humorous. I reached out in a PM and got to know a very wonderful Forum member from Ukraine. So this one is for my friend who I respectfully call Mr. Mak .
