Great composition!

One can almost hear the dwarfs talking about the Stretch XL... (... perhaps you should point those little guys towards a DFly or Lil Native... )

Manix on breakfast duty

Nice!

I use this exact same model (Manix 2 LW in REX 45) a lot for food prep too - in the hope that this will lead to a nice patina.
In my use the steel is pretty "stainless" though - not much happening, but at least a bit (I don´t want to actually "artificially" force a patina but see how it develops from more or less "normal" use).

People keep telling Rick this, and each time I have to fully agree... amazing scales, and the option of installing such could be one reason for me to finally get a G10 Manix... (only had LWs so far).

It's a whole different animal, and a better one! Not subjective...facts!

I can only recommend you do get a g10 one. And if possible a sprint run with a nice steel even do i still love s30v. ( I must say i am also still surprised by my other user a hollow ground 154 cm one , that steel is much better then people would think with all the fancy new steels around. )
And if you put custom scales on it really changes the knife to even better standards.

My G10 Native 5, with some flowers on my Jacaranda tree. I bought the N5 over 4 years ago, but never really warmed up to the design. So I decided to bring it out again, really start using it, and give it a fair chance. I'm actually liking it more now than when I first got it.

Glad to hear you are giving the Native pocket time . Great variation . Dan

Thanks, Dan. I figured why not. The same thing happened with my first PM2 (I own 2). I got my first one in 2011, felt the design was boring and overhyped, and it sat on a desk for 6 years. Until one day I decided to take it to work. Then the PM2 became one of my favorite designs.

One of the reasons I never sell off knives. Because you never know...

I have a full SE N5 lw…I’m trying to round out the points because they are super pointy/catchy. Hoping that this will save me from the temptation of either an s35vn or spy27 plain edge

Got this one out with me on the bike trail today along with my Police which I haven't found a good spot for pics of it yet

Another Caly Jr. today... just in Super Blue this time.

Haven't seen one of these in a while! I feel like Nick is the only other I've seen post one? One of those cool and unique models that's a bit quirky.

It's definitely an oddball. It's my dressy fancy special occasion knife, but I've been trying to make myself carry something different on Saturdays and that's the one I grabbed. It got a lot of hate for having nylon washers but I don't have a problem with them, the action is silky smooth.
