I assume 91B means you were a mechanic. In my day a 91B was a combat medic. This knife would have been a perfect addition to the kit of a medic.
I want an XL version
Is it flickable? Thumb and middle finger?
I have 2 backlocks; Delica and Native 5. Delica I can flick relatively easy, both thumb and middle finger. Native is thumb only and requires a bit of wrist assistance.
How is the flickability of this one? Just curious.
No sir, 91bravo was a Combat Field Medic back when I was in. They changed to wheeled mechanic sometime in the early 2000s I believe. I carried a Benchmade Griptilian and a Gerber multitool when I was in.
No such knives when I was in. I carried a Buck 501, 110, and a modified 103. All were secured when jumping out of airplanes. Too bad Spyderco was not around in those days.
For those that have the new back lock manix, does there seem to be any up and down blade play?
The M2BL fixed all the things I did not like about the PM2. I think this is the best larger folder Spyderco makes. Time will tell if my impressions will hold up, but so far I can't find anything to complain about. If it were a tad lighter, maybe...maybe. It is not heavy, now. It weighs about the same as a Military and no one complains about the weight of that knife. It has not left my pocket since I got it (nor my hands). Most importantly, it passed a crucial test---slicing apples. A lot, and I mean, a lot of knives will not do this task well. The M2BL shaved off those thin slices extremely well. I am a happy camper, as the saying goes.
