Just got these out of the mailbox. My first Manix, 15v no less. I love it but I will definitely upgrade the scales. I think I would prefer some type of metal ball cage as well, whether titanium or aluminum or whatever. It's a premium knife and deserves to feel like it.
Also this super rare ZT I picked up on the exchange, an 0801s110v. I like it more than I expected, that'll be a keeper

I've been working on my personal "holy trinity," if you will -- trying to find three modern folders that meet my (fairly minimal!) needs, cut well, feel right in my hand, carry well, and kind of just suit my personal preferences. That's how I've approached watches, and I thought it might work well for my knife rotation, too.
I've got the CRK Inkosi on one end, the largest and heaviest knife I like to carry. On the other end is the Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight Salt, and man did that knife open my eyes to how well a small/medium (smedium?) knife can carry.
The Microtech MSI Mini threads a lot of needles to arrive in between those two. It's closer to the Para 3 than the Inkosi, and these days I like carrying a small, light knife. It's got a different vibe, petite but tactical; different materials and lock; a different blade shape; and different but solid ergos. But it's also USA-made with excellent steel, fit and finish, and attention to detail, just like the other two.
I've also owned the Mini's full-size brother, the plain ol' MSI. The Mini is thoughtfully scaled down, pockets better, and still gives me a full grip behind without needing to choke up. It's kind of exactly what I was hoping it would be.
