Manix 2 LW, Knife Joker Exclusive.
Great steel, awesome color, but if something happens to it it’ll be harder to replace.
This is exactly how I feel about my personal favorite Manix 2 LW too: The REX 45 sprint. Really love this knife. Right now I could get another one on the secondary market for a decent price... I am really hard pressed to get it as a backup.
Would be the first time I´d get a backup for a model that I generally can always buy anyway, but just in another steel and color (and there are actually great regular production version of the Manix 2 LW out there). Only backups I got so far were for the Stretch 1 - cause the model itself is discontinued and hard to find, regardless of the version / steel...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Great egros and aesthetics, useful blade, favourite steel but not the best pocket clip.

This was my Favorite EDC til I got the K390 Endela. I still carry the translucent M2 but mostly on weekends. Awesome knife that I'm glad to have been able to acquire.

The only real downside of these exclusives is when you get one, discover you love it, then want to buy a back up, and they're sold out.

Maybe two weeks after getting that K390 Endela, I snagged another because its just that good! Not flashy, just rock solid!

Another one I think is under-rated, the ClipiTool Standard.

Kapara: Perfect footprint, blade shape, too slippery.

So close to perfect.

Paramilitary 2 : An almost perfect knife with a fragile tip.

I use my knife quite hard.

PM2: handy and bulletproof. In fact, so tough that the downside is I love carrying it more than any of my other knives! I guess that's a downside lol.

The only problem with the Large Sebenza is that the PM2 exists :winking-tongue
