Knife Dilemma

[Skar]

Hello.
Soooo I'm an addict.
Hear me out. I want to have a nice micarta knife.
I was waiting on a sprint run for the shaman. But the issue is I have a manix 2 in cv20 that I... use alllll the time.
The shaman looks to be very similar just a tad larger.

Lion steel tm1 seems like a really good knife with pretty similar blade steel and micarta.

I'm looking for your perspective if it's better to try out a knife I don't have.
Or go with pretty much the same thing that I do favor; with different handle material???

You're a knife addict asking other knife addicts if you should buy a blade... Gonna be a bunch of enablers that say do it.

Good luck on finding the one
Happy searching.

Clearly, you should buy both.

[hhmoore]

You should not only buy both, you should get micarta handles for your manix

 

[Skar]

Lol Wow.
I am in the right place.

 

[ShadyMethods]

Forget those 2 and get a Sebenza. They have micarta. Then buy both later.

 

[King of the Cheese]

No need to wait for stock micarta scales for the shaman either.... you can get those aftermarket too.
I like burgundy myself.

Yep. ¿Por qué no los tres?

 

[Sonnydaze]

Yep....a large CRK 21 with micarta is nice...but I like fancy wood inserts myself.

 

[MayHemAndHaw]

The correct answer is commission a custom with micarta.

 

[hhmoore]

Yep. ¿Por qué no los tres?

¿Los tres? Él ya tiene el Manix.

Oh I know, I meant buy the other two and hook that one up with the micarta scales. Los tres!

All this micarta talk got me wanting scales for my manix 2 rex 45, who sells some good aftermarket scales?...

You can get cool aftermarket micarta scales :

Get the TM1 with carbon fibre handle!

I absolutely love mine...

Has a really strong,deep lockback and 2 springs,in case one breaks.

Edit: also has a nice tungsten carbide glassbreaker and a deep carry clip

Edit edit: the ergonomics are fantastic,really beefy handle.i reprofiled the edge a bit and it cuts like a dream.holds an edge forever

I'm thinking this is where I'm going... though I'm sticking with micarta handle...
Now I need to decide on stone washed or blacked out blade..

 

[bigsurbob]

and a couple spares.

... and a pistol. With custom micarta grips!!
