Thanks for the scale with ESEE 4. I've never seen a Manix 2 XL in person, and while I understood it was a big folder, that is a big folder.Originally Posted by BluGrass
Yeah big folder indeed. Mainly carry it at work (pipe fitter in new construction) so I'm used to having tools in my pockets. Manix is great when wearing gloves and able to get a full grip when open. Also I like the clip because it leaves enough of the knife sticking up out of my pocket to grab easily.

Got this guy for $37 at Sportsman’s yesterday. Uses Sandvik instead of the 8Cr13 in the $16-25 variants.
I quite like it, though not the pocket clip.

^^^^Here's its non-magnetic, all Titanium progenitor, directly from my late friend Kit Carson, who had previously built me my very first custom knife.
I also have a large flipper "tanto" version, entirely in Daryl Meier clad damascus from Kit. That one he gave me a huge (unexpected) family discount on for helping man his table at my first Blade Show back in the 90's.

^^^Forgot to mention that the blade on that knife above is Stellite 6K. Special stuff.

Dang, @blues. You've got an amazing knife collection. What's your approach with those super-special knives? Do you use/carry them?

Thanks, brother. I've really shown very few of them since I no longer have an online photo site like I used to have where I had all the images at my fingertips.
It's a pretty eclectic method. Some I carry and use. Some I just admire. Some I sharpen and destroy the pristine value of. It's all good. You can't take 'em with you anyway and no sense getting too worked up about.
Most of the top makers whose work I've had the honor of owning are much happier when they know their work is ending up in a pocket or on the belt.

That makes complete sense to me. I don’t have anything near the level of some of yours, but knives and guns gain value to me the more use they get.
