What is this on the Manix 2 blade? ...

The little thing that looks like an engraved "W" or "E," but not quite? You can see it in this pic from The Deacon's photo thread. Just to the left of the word "Golden."

Thanks for putting up w/ all of my questions! ;-)

Eric Glesser's (Sal's son) trademark. Sal has something similar as well.

Well, IIRC, that's the mark of Eric Glesser.

EDIT: Beat me to it ;)

That symbol is actually a stylized "EG", which are the initials of the knife's designer Eric Glesser. There's a thread that identifies the designers' symbols for all Spydies, but I can't find it right now...

Gotta see pics of that, providing that it's in a place that you can share on a public forum.

I have to wonder why you'd get another man's initials tattooed on you.
