ready for office work! :rofl sorry... i couldn't help it. that's a great looking manix, bro.
I can't escape my old position! First guy left for a better opportunity, second guy we had to let go after a few months, now the newest guy is still a work in progress so I go down and help out a few hours each week. Only chance I get to take some semi interesting looking pictures haha!

i guess that's a blessing then. office work does make it difficult to get sweet pictures of spydies. at least you have an excuse to carry your more capable blades still. :cheap-sunglasses

i always love seeing this stretch. you really got a cool patina. i assume it's worked well for you? any corrosion issues?
I forced the patina and never have any issues. I do try to carry in dry weather but with a little care if caught in rain I just blow out and lightly oil . Dan

i'm still kicking myself for not picking up a wharncliffe endura for $40 during the map holiday. :disappointed

how do you like the pickpocket on the manix? i considered trying one, but i'm not sure i want to mess with it after my varied success between the yojimbo and wharncliffe delica (works like a charm on the former and not so solid on the latter).
I wasn’t aware it could be had at that price, I would’ve gotten another! I really like mine.

I wish I could recommend the Pickpocket, but mine moved around too much for my liking and didn’t seem very secure. The one on my Manix is actually for the Endura/Pacific Salt. Had to shim the inside of the thumb hole, but it works pretty well on the Manix. Someday I might retry it on the PS with shims.

For how much they cost, I’d prefer something more secure without having to modify it. For a dedicated self defense knife, I think it’s ok, but I worry about it coming off when I’m using the knife for actual utility work.

that sounds like my experience exactly. multiple time i drew the knife and the pickpocket came off completely. the knife opened, but i would've left a piece behind in a real situation.

the pickpocket for the yojimbo is completely different though. it was machined to fit much better and doesn't require a second screw. it's very solid and i've never once had an issue with it. i think the models with the second screw probably just won't ever fit as securely. it's a shame, but i like my wharncliffe delica better without it anyway and ended up getting a wave delica instead. it's a much better solution.

Thanks guys! It's a unique one but a good one that SpydieChef. Definitely gets more pocket time than the Kapara that I traded for. Small slim with a lot of edge.

You know I've always and honestly been a fan of those "Rick-pics" with their unique and distinct style... have been missing those lately (I know, your line of work changed), nice to see one again! 🙂
