Hi Forum,
as the title says, my Manly Wasp slipped from my pocket and is gone now.
What I liked about that knife was: The form factor and size of handle and blade, the deep carry clip, the S90V blade material.
What I did not like about that knife was the nail nick and the slipjoint which was very stiff with multiple detents. I have had trouble opening it often enough
but it closed on me once when I tried to drill a hole into a rain barrel and sheer luck prevented a serious injury.
I'd prefer it to be UK and German legal, but if something really catches my eye, I might overlook such minor details.
I've looked at the Benchmade Bugout 535GRY because it does have a deep carry clip and decent blade steel and roughly the same size,
but if I remember correctly, the handle is quite floppy.
Any suggestions?
