My first impression of this knife is good.
I recently lost a Paramilitary 2 in the same s110v blurple configuration. Being (seriously) heartbroken, I waited a month, at first looking frantically, then decided to replace it. I settled on this out of curiosity. I loved my pm 2 so much, but when I bought it I was stuck between it and this at the time. So this go around I chose this Manix 2 in S110v.
The action is smooth, the handling of this knife also seems very nice. Heavier than the pm2 and slightly fatter when closed, it takes up some pocket room but nothing I myself can’t get used to. Bear in mind, I own 5 acres of land that I recently bought. It was vacant for 2 years and was abused badly before that. I bought this knife to USE HARD EVERY DAY not baby or just use for boxes... for me it isn’t jewelry. It seems VERY solidly built. The PM 2 handled all the abuse I could throw at it, and this seems beefier.
This thing so far has cut everything I’ve used it on, and feels very nice in the hand. Seems to naturally fit, more so than the pm2.
Based on my first impressions with this blade and the downright incredible performance of my other knifes from them, I have very high hopes this knife will be a worthy replacement of my last, which quickly made itself an indispensable part of my daily life.
After I use this thing hard, I’ll edit my review. My pm2 could help me process small trees branches and brush. If this thing can hold up to that, I will me very very happy.
Edit:
It’s been 6-7 months since I got this Manix 2. I’ve put new scales on it because I wasn’t crazy about the blurple color. The action still feels brand new, and I have used this knife hard. Again, it’s helped me with drywall, clearing things from farm equipment, cut branches and other wood, trim plants in the garden, slice fruit to eat, I’ve started fire with it... you name it. It got a small chip on the very tip but that was easily repaired, and not at all the fault of the knife. Most other knives I’ve used this hard have been destroyed or made unsafe before now, and this one still feels brand new. Happy customer.
