I am officially the proud owner of a Manix 2 LW! It's the newer model with the screw together construction as well! So far I really like it, seems like the perfect balance for EDC and the outdoors. Thanks again to everyone for your advice! Alas I also have a few more on my list now, safe to say indeed it won't be my last and I'm not mad about it. Now to just get the hang of the spydey flick....
Very nice, one of the best EDC knives you could get imo! I can't imagine being without a Manix 2 LW (in my case the REX 45 variant).
What others are you considering?
Spydieflick: Not important to master at all, but for me most of the times more convenient and a bit quicker and safer in hand than slow rolling.
As always my number one tip: Don't imagine you'd push/flick the blade "outwards" / away from the handle but rather that you "shoot it out the front of the handle" (so push the finger in the hole forward, parallel to the handle, not perpendicular away from it).
I got it! Followed your advice and instantly happened. Now I can do it every time. Thanks for that! On my list.. still have the Sage 5 in the cart idk I just like the look of it. Also the Para 2 and the Endura. I like the salt versions as well I do a bit of fishing at the ocean so I'm sure one of those models will end up in my tackle box. So glad I joined this forum.. you guys rock!
When I opened it for the first time, it opened so fast that it seemed like an auto knife.
The Sage 5 is a pocket friendly knife that you will forget you have in your pocket.
The PM2 is also a favorite of mine as well.
Not sure what work environment you work in, the sage won't freak out folks like the PM2 potentially could.
I don't have an Endura but it is highly rated here on the forum.
