You’re more then welcome. The more Pictures there are the more fun there is . :winking-tongue
And to add something on topic. Even though i am a bigger Fan of the Manix in g10 , the LW is still an amazing knife worth every penny.

Thanks LB- same thing happened on my reply to yours as Dan’s…I responded 20 minutes ago/hit submit and…nothing🤷‍♂️…round 2-the clip is from the Milwaukee fastback compact utility knife I had purchased from Home Depot for $9.97…they are interchangeable…bonus is you get in my opinion the best utility knife out there…it’s a button lock fidgety tool w/great ergos…funny thing is I still break down cardboard w/a knife🤣

I just bought my first M2lw a couple of weeks ago for work, the blacked out version posted above. I have 2 g10 manix and love them so why not try out the lw model. It has the new cqi screw construction and has drop shut smooth action right out the box. Definitely impressed especially at the price point compared to other golden models. Can't wait for the salt lw manix in magnacut !!

Let me just say: I still think that my REX45 Manix 2 LW is certainly one of the best knife purchases I've ever made.
It's just that sometimes I want more cutting edge and generally slightly prefer a straighter (less curved) edge, but apart from that:
Great EDC folder, could not be without some kind of Manix LW in my life anymore ;)

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)
