So guys, Ive been carrying this awesome folder for about a week now and all I can say is wow. It's my favorite all around pocket knife I've ever owned or handled. Others may excel in certain areas, but when I look at this knife in my hand, I feel like it can do anything. The quality is absolutely top notch, the construction is so tight that no matter how quickly or slowly it's opened, it locks up perfectly tight every time. I loosened the pivot screw to see if it could be any faster and accidentally loosened it to the point where it was coming out slightly from the handle scale, and the lockup was still solid with no side to side play! Now that's quality control. The jimping is sharp and perfectly placed, the g10 is well textured but doesn't rip up my pants, and the curves of the handle fit my larger hands perfectly. The lock has gotten easier to disengage, but still snaps open with authority. The blade shape is great for my uses, with a pointy but strong tip and great s30v steel. I love the larger 14mm spyder hole too, easier and quicker than my endura for sure. It is slim and lighter than the standard manix 2 by about an ounce due to the milled out liners, but should be just as strong. When I first got it I thought about not using it and trying to resell it because it seems the value in these things goes up pretty quickly, but who cares, this knife is too great to let sit on my dresser! For those of you who aren't aware, this is an exclusive run for cutleryshoppe.com which is located near my house, so I lucked out and got one with a damaged box for $100.
