My Factory Second Manix 2 in S110V just landed yesterday afternoon.
I think the flaw is that the factory edge grind is too steep, as the Sharpmaker doesn’t even come close to giving a micro bevel on its 40° setting. It’s definitely not the usual 36° factory grind I’m used to from Spyderco.
Gonna have to hit it with the coarse diamond rods or DME sharpener while I watch football this Sunday. For now, it just has what we like to call “a working edge”.
This is my first knife in S110V, and I like that it has great edge retention AND corrosion resistance. (at the expense of sharpenability and toughness)
I’ve missed having a Manix 2 in the collection; it’s an ergonomic masterpiece by ol’ Eric Glesser.
