Love the views! Great knives, too :) really enjoy seeing that Dodo.



I'm working this weekend, so there's no hope of getting pics comparable to those. Here's a low quality/low light pic from last night at work.

Man these Military pics today... guess I’ll choose one for a while. Now comes the decision of S30V or S110V.

Edit* only if I can make myself set aside the police 4 LW.

I've long debated between the PM2 and Police 4. Had the PM2 for a few months, sold it, and got a Millie last week. I'll give the P4 a try if it can kick the Millie out of my pocket

Mantra 2 and the best holster I've ever purchased.

The beautiful part of owning them all is you can carry whichever you please

Freshly sharpened...

That's my favorite <3

Need to lose the clip, though.

I keep it loose in the pocket but I find it more comfortable to hold with the clip.

Pretty new knife, pretty old fossile I came across... :)

The ever-comfortable Military Model (its official name, I’m late to discover). Here, the Knifeworks-exclusive 204P.

Pressure washing my house today...no knife on me!! :eek: :eek:

At sunset

Back in the city for a bit...Pac Salt for yard work this morning, and Smock for everything else.

Evening snack and drinks for the C36

So glad to have a Manix LW once more!! :)

Another beauty, Wartstein! The lightweight really does make more sense for you given all the hiking and trail running you do.

Thanks, Julia! :)

Well, I see you haven´t forgotten your Rocky mountain days and know us climbers / mountaineers well :

It is true, all things more or less equal, we habitually tend to reach for the lighter piece of gear.. though I have to say: In 95 % of the things I do in the mountains it does not really matter concerning carry weight if I´d bring the 80 gram lightweight or a 120 g sprint G10 Manix (given the rest of my gear is light enough)
In POCKET though the light weight makes a noticeable difference when running, since the LW will be certainly a lot less "bouncy"

But that´s just one of the reasons why I am glad I went with an LW and not G10 Manix. Though I really love the immidiate feel of pure, solid 100% quality when holding a G10 Manix, but honestly: In real use I find the LW more comfortable, due to its smooth, closed back, a bit more rounded feel on the handle and the different jimping.
The LW is just "my" (kind of) Manix... In my wildest dreams I am even thinking about getting the REX 45 lightweight sprint... :rolleyes:

Gernot you better take that pic down before your Stetch's get jealous lol

You´re right... at the moment I am enjoying my new Manix LW even more than my Stretches! (Should be that way after just getting a knife I guess, otherwise it would not be a keeper)

I hope my beloved Stretch 1s will forgive me..
