Here is that manix I mentioned.
Its an old model, from 2010. Sabre ground 154 cm steel, but it's in great condition. I will be shipping it to fehrago tomorrow. My only stipulation is that he uses it, and when he gets tired of it, to gift it and not sell it. I really hope he will enjoy it.

My long awaited (yes that is a joke) contribution is here, and it is massive! I only ask a few things for these knives, only take if you will actually use it, and if you make any mods send me pictures, or hell just send pictures of them in use, seeing my knives go to good homes gives me the warm fuzzies. Any specifics with the knife (issues) will be noted. Also don't be a Dsun! Feel free to trade the knives, but don't sell the bloody things, that's disrespectful. I should also note posting your claim in the thread then sending me an email would be the easiest method, followed by posting your claim then sending a PM, followed way behind by just posting your claim. I will try to follow time stamps and watch the thread, but I have things to keep me distracted and I am always by my phone to get emails. Just click on my name and send me an email, I keep it active for a reason!
In no particular order: Ganzo 720 Orange, just not a ton of clearance on the axis bar, mechanically perfect. Browning 111D Sandvik steel, G10 handle, very sharp edge, no sheath (lost it a long time ago). Ka-bar Mini Dozier folder blue, just needs a sharpening, won this in a GAW and just didn't care for the fit in my hand, clip and single stud are reversible (current set as lefty, can swap if wanted). Camillus Yellow Jacket 2 blade traditional, blades are nice and sharp, but the spring on the wider blade is a hair weak (still 100% usable, it just needs to be pressed closed sometimes). Ken something that starts with a W button liner lock, beefy as hell with a convex grind, just way to big for my hands, no sheath.Very old SAK Aluminum model, still has some life but needs a serious makeover (Victorinox may repair/replace if sent in, or so I have been told), just not that into Swiss Army Knives so I never bothered. Kershaw Cryo, just needs a sharpening and is good to go (factory edge came in pretty steep). Lastly I have 2 Buck Bantam models, one in black and one in camo, no issues I just don't care too much for the design.
The SOG is now gone!
I would call that good enough, eh?
I've lost track. Has anyone claimed the Yellow Jacket? If not, may I? I know I said I wasn't going to claim anything, but it reminds me of 2 little traditional folders that I inherited from my grandfather that I'm not comfortable using, but I'd like to think he'd approve of me using a simple traditional folder from time to time rather than all of these fancy newfangled thingamawhatsits. *g* If it doesn't have a new home yet, I'll give it a good one.
Edited to add: Unless someone else needs it more, that is. I have plenty of knives, and while I'd use it and enjoy it, I don't really need it.

If someone has a knife they are giving and no one claimed I need a knife. The knife I won in a contest last year a crkt flipper was lost or stolen while fishing. Backing to using a flea market cheapo. Also been going to garage and flea markets this summer but no luck. Still have more time to hunt though.

The forums have given me a lot. Countless hours of valuable information, a few friends, and even several blades. My turn to give back!
Still up for grabs! Great little entry level assist.

If the Manix is not yet claimed, I would love to get it. I was very saddened by the change to S30V steel because I don't care for it at all over 154CM, and stupid got rid of my old Manix in a fit of my tastes for some stupid reason went to 4" or larger knives. I since came to my senses and went back to 3-3.5".

The Case Large Stockman I offered was claimed, the Kershaw Skyline is still up for grabs I think... 14C28N is a great stainless steel that sharpens a lot like a carbon steel. Knife flips excellentlyrics, and it's mostly open G10 construction so easy to clean. Email me if you want it, Andrew dot r dot Welsh at gmail

If it doesn't like your hand, let me know. It's on my list of knives to get back. I have an awful habit of randomly wanting to get rid of knives I like then instantly regretting it. I since changed that dumb practice.

Looks like the Yellowjacket is yours. As soon as you PM or email me your address I will try my best to get it out as soon as I can.
