To early to tell. Factory edge was junk. Gave it the initial sharpening last night.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
My newest acquisition is still in my pocket.. third day of doing some work on a mountain hut, and the Manix sees a ton of use. I sometimes do miss the longer cutting edge of Endura or Pac Salt, but other than that: Just a perfect work knife.
And REX 45... well, I am not a steel expert at all and my comparisons to other steels are by no means "scientific"; but I am more than impressed. I really cut masses of cardboard, whittled wood, cut cordage and packages and food... and still the Manix shaves hair and cuts thin paper easily. Furthermore I can see or feel no rolls or chips whatsoever. Also no signs of corrosion so far.
Pics below: Manix on some cardboard I cut with it to burn it in the oven afterwards (the cardboard, not the Manix :D ) and cook dinner... :)

Haha! Textured FRN really is good stuff once you get over any mental obstacles you might have about carrying it.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Have some butt kickers this afternoon so grabbed Maximus at lunch. Always up to the task :)

So far I've had a good experience with Rex 45 too in the Shaman. While it is thicker than the Manix, it still cuts well.Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 8:06 amAnd REX 45... well, I am not a steel expert at all and my comparisons to other steels are by no means "scientific"; but I am more than impressed.

Lost its shaving sharp edge after about a week of use, and I make a point of not sharpening until the blade reaaally snags on paper cuts.
It is still plenty sharp after a month of use.
Though it was ruthlessly kicked out of my pocket today by the good old C36 :D

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I never knew you had it, did you just get it? I've always found it interesting for a smaller knife when it's been posted, but you definitely don't hear much about it. Is that the cqi version with the better pocket clip spot?
