So what did you do with the Benchmade.

All my benchmade knives are going into the knife collection bucket.... very different than the bayonet bucket, that is taller and uglier.

I think you'll like the manix. I have one and find it super easy t o carry and it holds an edge well.

I'll not be buying any new Benchmade knives, at least until they change their ways, but I damn sure am not going to discard or trash the ones I have. Just too good to toss, especially when tossing them would not change anything.

That top knife isn't a Manix. It is a Para Military 2. The PM2 is a fantastic knife, easily one of my favorites.

I went with the Ontario RAT1 & RAT2...

hard to believe it but they are built better, and cost less than Benchmade... Someone at the blade forum recommended them ... they knew what they were talking about.

I like Spyderco better anyway. The Ontario Rat knives are pretty good for a sub $30 knife, but not nearly the same quality as Benchmade or Spyderco.

But FWIW the Benchmade debate is overblown. They assisted local LE to destroy guns confiscated in crimes that a Judge ordered to be destroyed. I don't see where that makes them anti gun. I see a local business assisting LE to do a job.

The top knife in the OP looks an awful lot like the PM-2, not a Manix.

I stole that pic because I was lazy, and you are right, I stole the wrong one.




Here is MY REAL pic.
I have fluorescent pink duck tape so I can find it when I drop it.


Benchmade founder and CEO Les de Asis is a liberal male that makes political contributions to anti gun democrats.
