I will recommend para 3 lightweight at $90 or if you can find one, -manix 2 g10 rex 45. I paid $122!! That knife could have been sold at a higher price point like $160-180. I can't believe it was only $122 for what you get.
Fit and finish is the answer here.Wartstein wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 1:21 pmJust out of curiousity:
The Delica is still cheaper than the Para 3 LW, has a pretty similar performing steel (at least going by Larrins last charts), so what makes the almost $ 100 Para 3 LW a generally better value than the $ 85ish Delica?!? - Other than totally subjective personal preference parameters like lock type, ergos, blade stock and so on of course.
On your Manix on the other hand I am totally with you: I know the amazing built quality of the G10 Manix from handling it, this package in REX 45 for $ 122 is really a great value... :)

I may not have that many, but each and every one from Seki had a flaw of some kind (gaps, protrudings etc.). Comparing Golden models to those, the finish is impeccable.
Then you can compare the prices also.
