So much for my revolver fund. $116.00 will be gone on Friday.
I can't pass up the M4.

The Manix 2 in M4 is a great knife. I’ve had a translucent G10 version for several years now, and it is a favorite, though I don’t carry it often because it is a bit outsized for the work environment I spend most of my days in.
I've had a lightweight Manix in the past and they are great. So much knife in such a lightweight folder. Now, a ltwt Manix in CPM-M4!? For $117.00!? Yes please!!
I've had the Military and PM2 CPM-M4 knives for over 5 years. The Military I carry as one of my EDC knives. As I've gotten older my dexterity has diminished and the larger Military has been easier to operate. The M4 blade steel has been a workhorse of blade steel. Easy to keep sharp with the Spyderco stones and it just cuts and cuts.

I was at the IWA show in Nuremberg yesterday and was able to look at Spyderco's display case of prototypes. The Microjimbo is very nice in hand, the proportions feel and look great. I find the Spydiehole a little big for the blade, but who knows. It will also carry much easier in pocket. The full-size Yojimbo is fairly broad in the pocket because of the tall blade. Overall I'm excited.
I've heard that the Para 2 tips break off easily. From personal experience, how true is this?
