You can not clutter a thread with beautiful pictures.
And no Dan my friend i do not like it… I LOVE IT.
I must say i am a bit jealous of you’re first runs. They look so pure without the spyder logo.

Yes it does set them apart . I do know someone who has the first Manix 2 in hollow grind . I hope he will sell it to me someday .

Those are a rare sight. I have a used hollow dlc Manix 2. I use it now and then that hollow ground dose works very good. But a full flat Manix looks way better.

I’m old school in grinds , I guess because I’m old ! Ha ! Dan

I think a high hollow grind done well and thin bte is the best EDC.

That was the problem with that generation of Manix 2 for me the hollow grind was not high enough for my taste.
I can not say i prefer one of the 2 but both hollow as full flat works very good for me.

Took a walk today .

Extremely old tombstone .

I really like black and white photos. Nice job buddy!

I stand by that it is my belief the Gayle Bradley 2 is one of the best blades Spyderco makes (detent is poor on the model). I wish we could see more of that. That said, I'll EDC FFG anytime.

I like the look of they Gayle Bradley 2 and my brother loves his but it is one of the few knives spyderco makes i can not proparly use the lock from as a lefty. And that is saying allot since i have no trouble with other linerlocks or compression locks or any lock i can think off.

Definitely not a great model for lefties. Which is a shame. That blade needs to be utilized in different designs.

Extremely old tombstone .

I'm loving the old growth on that tombstone. Very cool Dan!

Thank you ! Yesterday walking around the oldest part of cemetery I was able to see stones dated back to the 1840’s . A lot of the stones have broken and lay flat on ground beyond repair an are very weathered. I only lay knives on a stone and never move them out of respect . The stone makers at that time were very artistic with many types of themes at top of markers to make them unique.

Old Ash tree stump at base of planter .

When I first posted this picture some time ago in Pocket thread, another post had this picture on a monitor screen with same knife on the desk . I thought it was very humorous. I reached out in a PM and got to know a very wonderful Forum member from Ukraine. So this one is for my friend who I respectfully call Mr. Mak .
