PM2 alternative with better esthetics

[kalan850]

Hey everyone
Ive carried a rex 76 pm2 for the past 5 month. Its been great but im curious about some alternatives with a more traditional drop point style blade shape.

I like the carry profile,the ergonomics, and that I can close the blade with my fingers out of the blade path.

Can yall suggest some alternatives to the pm2 that look more pleasing possibly with similar features?

Recommendation? Post in thread 'PM2 or American Lawman for lefty'

Aug 30, 2019

The Cold Steel American Lawman is by far the better value and overall a stronger knife .

Better steel and lock . Much less expensive .

I have the most recent version in S35VN and was very pleased with the smooth action of the lock , right out of the box !

Most Cold Steel are designed to be totally ambidextrous . Just have to move the clip . Or install the supplied lefty clip . Very easy on most models .

IDK about better esthetics , very subjective .

Similar POU , better lock , stronger and cheaper .

Do you like the Manix 2 or Bodacious?

Stay with spyderco or..?

This is what I usually pick from for a folding EDC, knife in middle is a Vosteed psyop, it might be what you want. Top lock, elmax, flips better than some Spyderco I have owned.

I've always thought I should own an American Lawman...just because.

How about a Hogue Ritter?

You won’t regret it. Just a good solid knife at a fair price.

Do you like the looks of the Shaman better? No hump so it’s more traditional looking to me…

PM3 is on my list.

The red one. Similar size, similar cutting performance, drop point, close from the back, spydie hole.

wait for one of those sales and grab one. i think youd like it besides the name. great folder. I'd like it about a half inch longer blade and handle adjusted for it....then itd be about perfect user knife.

Fun fact, when you move the clip to the other side, it turns into an Australian Lawman.

I was surprised with how similar the Benchmade Taggedout was to the PM2 when I got it. The dimensions are very similar, and the Taggedout is very slicey at .09in stock thickness. Not a drop point though. It also has a much more refined edge than typical Benchmades since it's a SelectEdge knife.
