At least the prices are finally starting to drop some on the secondary market. Used to be you couldn't hardly get into one for less than $900. If they start going for $500 or less, I'll start thinking about them again. Might be quite a while, lol.

I bought my Neon Ultra Lite through a vendor whom I can’t speak of on this site for various reasons but it was only $550. Though the Ultra Lite is nothing too special I guess you could say it was a nice intro into the brand. I may sell it to recoup my funds and throw another 200 at Russians to get something on the secondary market like you said. If the prices ever get that low

A slightly different view of the Manix XL.

Note: this started as a non-coated version; I then found a good deal on a DLC coated with a trashed handle. I swapped the blade out, and then checked and found the Putman scales. I finally have the orange-handled DLC Manix XL I've wanted for quite a while.

Nice, any other pictures of this knife? Want to get these scales for my black Manix 2 XL.
 
Quicky job. Sharp as a razor but bevel width noticeably uneven. OCD? Worth redoing? Live with it as is?
It's an edc user so...

I vote to keep it man, especially if it’s a user. After finishing most of my knives it almost hurts me to cut through tape then shortly after realize I have to go the rest of the day with goop on my “beautiful edge” lol. I can see why some people carry 2 knives but I think that’s a bit ridiculous and I just bite the bullet every time. They are meant to be used to I don’t fret too much!

That's funny. I was at a local gun shop a few days ago and one of the guys behind the counter (had to be in his 60's or 70's) whips out a knife to cut a box open. I noticed it was a tanto but I couldn't tell what brand or model, so I walked over and mentioned to him I'm into folding knives, mostly flippers...and then asked him what knife it was. He said it was just a cheap Kershaw (Blur), for cutting open ammo boxes. Then he says, "But this is my nice one!" And reaches into a different pocket and whips out & flips open a pristine ZT0920. It was actually the first one I've gotten to handle as I don't have a 920 (yet). Nice knife, by the way. I checked it out a bit and then whipped out the Kizer Toro I happened to be carrying that day...and then the 20 minute, "knife nut" discussion ensued. Ended up getting a good deal on ammo that day. Sometimes it's good to be a knife nut. :cool:
