Manix2 CTS BD30P owners...
How do you like the steel, agressive g10, and the knife overall?

I like it. I don't carry it a lot but I'm very glad I have one. The steel is a pleasure to sharpen and use. I sharpened mine on a EdgePro.

Behaves very similar to s30v but may be a tad easier to sharpen..love mine. Although I would have loved to see them use the correct steel that was slated for this run nothing wrong with BD-30p.

Supposed to be BD-75p. According to Spydiewiki the bundle of steel was marked incorrectly.Liquid Cobra wrote:In interesting.

I love all my manix2 just overbuilt beasts.I want one in h1 now
Re: Manix2 CTS BD30P owners...
BD30P is nice, the coarse G-10 is more rounded than you would think by the description. It feels nice. The steel polishes better than S30V.
I'm a little surprised there hasn't been a more positive response to the steel.
On my wishlist, I have "More stuff in CTS-BD30P." I would take a Manix Lightweight and Native 5/Native 5 Lightweight and Military if it were available.
While we're at it, why wouldn't we make a CTS-20CP Native 5 and Manix 2 Lightweight?

Steel: it honestly seemed comparable to s30v, to this average user; but it gets bonus points for being a little less common.
Course G-10: Um... yes please. More. MORE. (Perfect for this type of work-friendly knife.)
Knife overall: Great value, a true keeper/user/gem. (I'd save your pennies for something even more exotic if you want a safe queen, but for a daily user M2, can't do much better.)
