Why cant I get....

...A manix with a full flat grind anymore? I see pictures but I cant find any websites that sell them. Im probably going to end up with the Hollow ground one eventually since their gone but I got the para military 2 instead on my last purchase because I like flat ground better.

Short answer: all the flat-ground Manix 2s so far have been sprint runs, and rather short sprints at that. Your best bet for finding one will be on the secondary market (either the exchange here or eBay). As to why they went with hollow grind for the standard model, I believe it is a cost cutting measure.

One good thing about the Hollow-grind is that the spine and tip end up quite a bit thicker than the flat-ground versions (from what I understand - my flat-ground version isn't as thick at the spint/tip as my Para 2).

I guess that would be a good thing if I was looking for a crowbar. I prefer knives myself.

Get a hollow grind one and send it out to get flat ground. That's what I did.

I sent mine to Tom Krein , but I'm not sure he's doing them anymore. Lookup Nick Rossi. He's here and over on USN. He does excellent work.
