Here in Austria the lockdown still allows some activities, like taking a walk, as long as you do that alone...

Well, I did not obey... the Stretch was with me... :D

Working from home today, if the Para 3 gets lucky it might get to open some mail.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

That's your FIRST EVER PM2 Connor?? If so, looks like you've held off for a good one! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the 10V, I know you'll give us a review :)

Yep, just too many models and not enough money! I've still yet to own a Manix or Para 3 either. :rolleyes:

The CPM 10V was too tempting especially with the cool DLC/coyote brown color combo. I will definitely give it some hard use.

I´d say go with the Manix first.. and no, not because I personally clearly prefer it over the Para 3, but because it lets you experience a unique (and imho great) lock and a different approach concerning ergos (and again, imho a great one.. ;) ) than the PM2 / Para 3, which you already partly know by owning the PM 2 now...

Man, I have a feeling I want a Manix once more too... :rolleyes: (have a PM2, not my absolute favorite, but still I really like it a lot)

As someone who generally prefers longer, thinner blades, I agree. I don't think I'd really enjoy the stubbiness of the Para 3.

I've been using this knife all week, and it's still stupid sharp! It's going to have no problem with my intentional attempted Friday dulling session. Rex45 Manix is an incredible steal for $126...borderline sin!

Well, maybe someday you´ll come and visit, then I´ll show you all that beautiful views! :)

And the good thing: Here in Austria you can legally carry whatever knife you like while enjoying those views... ;)

Thanks! All the best to you and your loved ones too.

/ Right, the Stretch still does not get the attention it would deserve imho (though the straight spine version changed that a bit).
I´d love to have a V Toku one, but even more so a superblue Stretch 1... :rolleyes: (Luckily I have the HAP 40 version, just a perfect knife in any aspect...)

Another day where I did not follow the lock-down-order "you may take a walk, but just on your own":
This time it was my HAP40 Endura that accompanied me.. :D
