Lovely day, this is.
I finally got what I've been wanting for a long time, a full size Manix! It's the Foliage Green version, and it sure is nice. Really, totally cool. My first Spyderco knife, I have handled some Enduras and Delicas but those weren't my really cup of tea at the time. This is way better.
Nice, big size and a good feel in the hand. Definitely not too heavy, feels very businesslike and the heft is just, shall we say, reassuring. Initial blade testing has been fun, good to see such a fine factory edge. Field testing will begin, no doubt, soon!
As I'm going camping this weekend, my new Manix is going to accompany me to get it's first outdoor time. So yes, I am going to be the proverbial happy camper come Saturday!
