One of my favorite knives - so much to like about it and love the translucent blue
cost, value, weight, blade, size, steel - I could make an argument that it is better than a PM2

ThatGuy333Oh finally, I've found someone else who will at least entertain the idea that the the Manix 2< the Paramilitary 2.
I'd been making this case for a while to some friends, but the Manix I have has the CPM M4 blade steel, and the retort was always that that Manix wasn't a fair standard for comparison (even though my main argument was that the handle shape was the feature that made it superior to the PM2's; everything else was about equal).
But now I have a PM2 with a an M4 blade, and I stand by my earlier argument: the Manix is SLIGHTLY better. The leaf-shape blade in combo w/ the pronounced index finger chool allow for a very controlled grip, which in turn permits fine, detailed work better the PM2. Huge difference? Not at all, and I certainly think theres room tk disagree. But the superiority of the PM2 in all ways, forever and ever, amen, is such an article of faith for some folks that it has been impossible for me to even raise the issue for a proper discussion.

HatuletohHaha, the Manix 2 is the only Spyderco I have ever owned that I don't love. It is just too damn wide. It feels horrendously bulky to me. I don't actually own a PM2 (apologies everyone) but I like the native 5 a lot, which is like a smaller Manix, and I love the delica 4.
