Just curious what knife you guys grab when you are about to do some nasty work. We all have one, the knife we grab and use for things that a knife might not exactly be suited for.
I generally use my manix 2. Super strong knife and Im really impressed with how well the coating has held up over the past 4 years. I carry it more often than not just because im not afraid to use it and abuse it, or even hand it to someone for them to use!
It gets used pretty often for light prying like you see here, not much, just breaking free some handle scales on a knife im making or scraping off some old epoxy off my table.
Also pictured is my ontario rat one which I have had for around 7 years and it has also seen some pretty nasty use as you can see!
The manix 2 IMHO is one of the best designed knives out there. Thick enough to be stout without sacrificing too much cutting performance. Extremely strong lock and a handle that provides good strength for cuts that apply torsion to the pivot.Not to mention it being one of the best handling knives I own. (i just wish they cut have given a little more cutting edge)
Here is the rat one during its first cleaning after around 6 years of cleaning catfish cutting wood, breaking down lots of boxes from when I worked at walmart, and it spent the last six months sitting on my work bench getting covered in metal dust and micarta. Still locks up tight as the day I bought It!
