I have a funny feeling you may see a SE salt at some point

Thanks! Hoping they're comparable enough to Spyderco's serrations in use.

Thanks! Actually, I left that portion of plain edge because I'm considering shortening the blade a bit.

Great looking teeth but, got to ask why are you wanting a shorter blade?

[PeaceInOurTime]

The Manix 2 has a weird blade length, for my use. Too short to be a long blade, and too long to be a short blade.

For my use, I usually carry two knives -- one long for when I need to span material (usually food, and a potential emergency/defensive option), and one short for all other everyday utility cutting. I prefer the longer blade to have at least 3.5" cutting edge, and the short blade to have pretty much right at 2.5" cutting edge.

Typically, but dependant on the knife's design, a 2.5" cutting edge is about perfect for allowing my index finger to reach the tip for precise cutting and controlling depth of cuts. Since the Manix 2's blade length is in "no man's land" for me, might as well chop it down a bit and make it work better for me.

Still deciding if I should do it, but I'm leaning that direction.

I've never used a Manix and wished for less blade, lol. Even the XL feels stubby in that department vs a military or especially the police.

[PeaceInOurTime]

Lol I get that! You have much larger hands, though.

The Manix handle though, if it works for you...it works for you! I absolutely love it, choked up or not it just works for my hands.
I like the idea of tinkering around with the blade in that handle, props to Peace for doing something different. We don't see much of that kind of modding around here!

I agree , Manix may not work for everyone but both sizes are so natural in hand for me . Love the SE mod project too , like someone thinking outside the box and doing something different . Dan

Another old pic of the BD1N Manix I don´t own anymore, but more and more I want one with that cool translucent handle again...

I´ve been constantly beating the same drum too and was actually (not pleasantly... ) surprised that the yellow Salt Manix did not offer an SE version from the get go... I would immediately have purchased one - not for the "Salt" but for the "teeth"...

I'm also hoping for serrations and more translucent colors in the future.

Love those scales!

Finished chopping the blade a few days ago. Really liking it so far .
