I agree that the manix 2 lw s11ov is a great edc. I like the light weight frn handles. I also have moved the Ritter Griptilian with m390 v steel into my edc rotation along side the pm2. Again I have no problem with the light weight handles. Both seem plenty strong for a work knife, which after all has the highest requirements for strength.
The Manix 2 had been on my list for almost a year before I finally pulled the trigger. At $99 for a dark blue CPM-S110V Manix I could no longer resist. Took me a bit to warm up to the scales and may very well upgrade at some point. To me it just had kind of a cheap feel to it at first but the knife is very functional.
Just got my new replacement in for the one I sold. I love the cheaper LW handles. I used it for everything this morning and she is still shaving sharp, awesome ass steel.
I delayed long enough that Christmas came and my regrind funds went toward Power Wheels and RC cars
But I'm still interested in having him thin it for me a bit, but I happened to get a pretty nice leather strop set for Christmas and it's doing wonders for my current edge, so it may be another month or two before I contact Big Chris again and see about sending it in.
Or I may just hold off on the regrind and put that money towards a Big Chris custom camp blade.
