My Preferred Platform...
I've been waiting for the Manix 2 to come out in REX 45 w/G10 scales and it's finally here! The fit & finish is truly 'Golden', the blade is well centered and of course the blade bevel grinds are off :); no worries though as a few sharpenings will fix that! The CBBL lock is what I've come to expect and the blade on this one drops smoothly when activating the lock. I prefer this model over the PM2 due to the slightly thinner blade stock. I've had/used the PM2 REX 45 model for a couple years and appreciate this steel (it does patina with usage), though now that I have this the PM2 has moved on to a new owner. Thx to National Knives for sending the useful micro fiber cloth.. and now to put this one to work!
