I would use shorter cord. Your required pull length seems too long for cqc to me and my comfort. I don’t want my arm halfway extended in front of my body while an attacker may have drawn a weapon.

I added serration to it to serve as a city jungle survival tool - cutting cords, punching tyres...

Love mine

Carry it with the ring below the belt line in front. No hustle with garment hems

You can tighten that safty lock up again with thise rwo screw head on the side 🪛

Buck was my first and second m Cold Steel was much later but very much appreciated and it lived up to it's hype for me. 😊

You must have girly hands if you thank it's too large, just saying

Great video

We pay 390 for it in Australia, FYI

Yes i agree it would be way better if it had a bit more of a guard maybe about like the mora bushcraft height would be great and that small guard isnt going to impede most bush craft type jobs to any degree .

940 is my favourite edc. I try to find another edc that I love as much as my 940. Just can’t find one. I also own the socp dagger. It’s fun to have not something a normal person will use often or at all. But still fun to own.

These knife reviews are mostly just show & tell for knife collections.

Time for a cursed set up. I carry a POS fixed blade with semtimental value, upside down in a 3/4 leather sheath, and i tie a bandanna through the loop and wrap it round my bicep or leg

Looks like a pain in the ass to sharpen.

Nice comparison, I think I agree on every single point! 😂

I've EDC a recon tanto for about 12 years, the old aus8 version, used so much that the texture is essentially rounded over now. I've used it how I would use a fix blade, batoning/throwing/prying/picking you name it, and there is ZERO wobble or play. Just as solid as day one and is actually much smoother I REALLY miss cold steels old g10, the new stuff is too slick for my liking especially on the big (5.5") espada, any bit of sweat or gunk and it might as well be glass lol Should've bought more especially when they went to XHP, found one of the rare XL recons with that steel and grippy scales for sale and am tempted

Just picked up the CruCarta Manix XL for $166 and I absolutely love it! I love me a legitimately full size folder, and the 2.99” cutting edge on the standard Manix 2 is just a tad small for my taste.

Great little knife, but I really like the MagnaCut Sencillo better, for both size and blade shape. Honestly, I think I'm going to go for a TJ Schwarz Confidante one of these days.

The grooves are fuller for the reduction of wait

Who's that Kali expert you mention?

Got mine last 07/15/2024. Initially I thought about letting it break-in naturally but it was taking too long. On the third day, I removed the pivot and blade and cleaned them, put them back together and adjusted it. It's perfect. I already have the 551 but I wanted to try the 550. Loving both knives.By the way, I also have the 556 Mini Grip. All three of mine are in S30V.

I am a recent arrival to the Manix 2 party. I thought the Para 3 was my goldilocks Spyderco, and bought multiple variants. The compression button on a Crucarta purchase made me realize how the Para 3 wasn't perfectly ambidextrous, and I had to rely on grippy scales for traction. I was able to one-hand open and close easily with my right hand, but my dominant left hand had difficulty. Switching the clip to the other side helped. I have no such problems with the Manix 2. It excels at all the different methods of deployment and closing the knife is just like the Axis lock knives I own.

Great video, man! My favorite way to carry a fixed blade when I’m not appendix-carrying my gun.

Have a look at the Extrema Ratio BF3 Dark Talon. Long and thin folder. Better slicer than the SOCP folder.

Tetragon new price is $320 Al Flaherty's out of Hamilton is $293 Prices jumped in the past few months.

Can you put an ulticlip on a medium sized fixed blade and clip it to your pocket but have the knife on the outside? Ive only really seen people doing small pocketable knives with an ulticlip.

Aww mate, you gotta excuse me im Australian, I got a Hardonn hahaha i had to say it lol hahaha! Anyway thank you Sir for a great review the Luzon looks just perfect!

You can have a custom sheath made very easily

Why is this your last video I really liked this chanel ❤😢 can you please do some more videos if you have time😊

он имеет свою актуальность только когда заточен с обеих сторон, и когда в критической ситуации никто не знает, что в ближнем бою ты достанешь этот нож

I’m a 48 year old Ex-infantry veteran that’s worked blades longer than I … nope I was 7 my dad had my watch Rambo 1st blood part 1, after my mother raised me on Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler’s “Ballad of the Green Beret” album, I learned later on about different steel qualities and saw how almost all the best old school knife makers stuck with 80CRV2 and then I worked with a seal carrying an axe like that and was in love … still am however on my 1300.00 a month VA pension for a machine gun barrel shoved into my abdomen in a helicopter crash costing me 24 inches of intestines food is more important and I only eat every 3days as is so yeah I’ll never see it, but a man’s can have dreams right ? lol have a good one.

Great edc and protection of need be too.

I bought this knife a few days ago, i dont like it as much as my ti-lite 4" but i do like it. Thanks for the video, i wouldn't have thought about throwing it at trees or some of the other things but its good knowing that it took the abuse and was still useable.

Прикольно если бы можно было открутить кольцо, прикрутить другое лезвие, накладки, более толстые или тонкие, возможность для кастомизации - всегда востребованное предложение

Great video! The Izula II is one of the best knives I have ever como across. It is a little machine, you can’t chop a tree but other than that is a really tough and capable blade

Also known as the static cord carry

In regards to durability, from watching the 12 ft pound testing which Spyderco does at the factory, the spidey hole does not seem to compromise blade strength whatsoever, as it is literally never the breaking point of the knife. In addition, the ball bearing lock from Spyderco is one of the strongest locks in production right now, and while Benchmade's axis lock is plenty strong as well, IMO durability is a win for the Manix if only slightly. The plastic used in the cage construction also makes it feel cheaper but was chosen for the functionality of decreased wear on the metal components surrounding the cage, prioritizing a long lasting product. Loved the video, fellow Manix maniac

this was a good video. I just got mu 1211 earlier today, I stropped it to a near mirror finish on the bevel. had a few ka-bars in my day but I'm happy I got this one. I went on Kabars website and the 1211 models are only going to be receiving a single stamp on the tang, it no longer has USA 1211 on the tang anymore. Hopefully it makes it more durable. I thought I got a knock-off at first! I'll put some use on it after the "babying" phase!

Got mine today, $57 after tax at house of knives in Alberta. Great review, for the price i figured what the heck, razor sharp out of the box, it'll be a good enough utility knife

I've got an old half serrated one in AUS8A. Absolutely love everything about it. The steel is SO easy to keep screaming sharp with a strop (which is good because a half serrated tanto generally isn't lol) . I've got Spyderco, I've got ZT, I've got Chris Reeve, but I always go back to my Recon 1 tanto when I need a knife and have no idea what sorts of things I might need to cut that day.

review was very well done sir. do you by chance happen to have ocd?

too thin... so i worry about that blade was bended...

Pretty sure it's entirely for fighting and not for any wood work

The Recon 1 Clip Point is definitely one of the best knives I own. I like the 4Max, Lawman and the Aus10 verdict, but if I could only grab one it would probably be the recon.

I had older clip point, but my 23 old grandson really wanted it. So being a great popa I gave it to him. I missed it so much I bought the spear point. I haven't showed him yet, he will probably poop himself. But he will get it when I'm dead, lucky him.

FWIW, I live in the great state of Tennessee and my knife is most definitely a weapon.

Folder in your pocket, fix in your backpack

Doesn’t hold an Edge at all ! Use once then you have to sharpen

Hey, great review. Im living in the same area. How did the knife hold up rust-wise?

for me it will be laying on my nightstand
