What folders do you have now that you're fond of?

Mostly a Spyderco guy. My most carried would be pm, sage 1, southward, and BM 940. I should actually work up a trade thread. I have an endura, skyline, and s few others I could trade.
 
I'm done looking for new folders.
Nothing can kick the Manix2 out of my pocket. So far...
I've tried many other Spydercos, BM Grip,Bonecollector, 940(sweet knife), 710, ZT 0561, 0566... The Manix2 reigns supreme! I wish BK&T had a folder.
 
I love my Native5, thats a great folder ac700, the blade is a little small but still the handle is pretty great on it.

I want me a manix 2, or manix 2 XL eventually.

Really? REALLY, you have to ask for specific complaints?

OK.

Abusing your position as a mod in order to edit respected, long-term contributing members' posts for no other reason than to throw your weight around and bully them. That's not good leadership. Those cats have put a whole lot of time, effort and love into building this community.

Insulting people's family members for no gosh-dang reason at all. That's just plain wrong.

Bringing up the very idea of children and others committing incest, and encouraging it. Even demanding it. Repeatedly. That's just foul.

"Suck it"? "I am your god"? Who the heck do you think you are?

You supposedly represent one of the most respected knife designers on the planet today, a man who has been a friend and mentor to everyone here, a man of integrity and honor. A man who is known throughout the entire knifemaking industry for his generosity and warmth. A man who has literally taken many a no-name like me to the side and freely offered his advice and encouragement about being successful and building a a strong, honorable reputation. A man who builds people up. A man who would never say such horrible things.

Not to mention the company and reps that help bring his dreams to fruition. Perhaps the fine folks at Ka-Bar would be interested to see how you're "representing" their efforts.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for sullying Ethan's subforum and BFC in general with your vitriol and hatred, even if you don't have enough sense to be ashamed of yourself for simply being a belligerent fool.

have a manix 2 and XL in my wish list. favorite folder I've ever had would be my ZT0350 blem that I got from kershawguy.com for $85. As much as I love that knife, I'm not sure I'd pay full price for one.
 
Glad you like the Manix Johnny! I would kinda like to fond another one, but one of the flat ground sprints for a good price. The 710 has been one I've liked for a while. 566 too. The BM grip is nice and I've considered trying another, but maybe one with the opening hole. The native is nice too. I just wish there was actually a store around here that had a decent knife stock so I could handle knives before I fork over money for them.

I was able to get the D2 screaming, nasty sharp. Love the axis lock. The only thing about it is the thumb hole isn't placed as well as most Spydercos. The Bonecollector is a good knife though.
Obviously the Manix2 is my favorite. But the BM full size Grip is a close second. If it came standard with G-10 or micarta and had just a slightly slimmer profile...
Its funny because out of all the folders that I wanted to try, the Manix2 and BM Grip came out on top. And they are the least expensive out of the group.
Love the BM axis lock and Spydercos ball bearing lock!
 
Johnny, I feel the same way about the griptilian. If it was flat sided g10 like the manix I would love it.
 
James. We all know how you feel on the matter.
The horse is dead. Stop beating it.
May I suggest taking your complaints into a private venue?
I can understand you're frustration, but this is something that needs to be addressed privately, not publicly.
 
Don't know if it would be incestuous or not, but

I'd call her mommy until our vicissitudes changed.
 
This is the Native5 on bottom, manix 2 then the Manix 2 XL on top.

Its going to be hard to pick between the 2 Manix's for me.

Quoted simply because that makes it harder for a rogue mod to edit it out.

Take Johnny's advice James. Trust me it's for the best. Quoted it just in case you missed it, while on your holy tirade.
 
I think the Manix XL would be just a bit big for me.
My Manix2 is 154CM, but I think they're all S30V now.
 
apparently one of us all misunderstand snark and all...

so be it.

just so you know, all posts have a history track. they can't be deleted, or edited, without someone being able to see all history...

if you keep editing yours posts, i can see that. as can any mod.

so there's no rogue mod action that happen...

just so you know.

though people hiding behind blind edits, of their own posts, mods can help. just ask. if you want to say something, don't edit it, then hide.

THIS IS SNARK.

if you don't like snark, why the gods are you here?

mods can't snark? seriously?

my mom!

Thats what im worried about too, it might just be a little too big, but i havent held either so its hard to know for sure. Finding the XL with G10 and FFG is easier for me though.

I can find the regular manix2 with flat grind but its FRCP and i can find it with g10 but it is hollow ground (i think, it looks hollow ground anyway)

Only the sprint run manix 2s and the blue and black see through handled ones are ffg. The standard g10 model is hollow ground and isn't made in ffg.
