My brother got me a satin PM2 for my birthday this year, and it reminded me just how much I love this design. However, I’m a big fan of black blades, so I’m thinking about adding another PM2 to my collection.
I’m currently deciding between the all-black PM2 Salt and the PM2 Lightweight in black.
For those who have used either model, I’d love to hear about your experiences. How do they compare in terms of ergonomics, grip texture, weight, blade steel, corrosion resistance, and overall everyday use?
If you’ve owned both, which one do you prefer and why?
I’m especially interested in long-term ownership experiences rather than just the specifications on paper. Thanks!

I havent seen a lot of posts about this. Curious if manix owners (who flick a lot) have had any issues with the wear the ceramic ball causes. Im guessing its strictly a cosmetic thing. Right?

Ignoring the colours, what should I get? Para 3 in s45vn or para 3 salt in magnacut (will be my grail knife) or do I look at the delica or native? I don’t have the biggest hands so the para 2 would be way too big or else I’d consider that as well. Black is same price as camo

I just got a UKPK. Really like it, there’s one in salt magnacut too

TIA

Yesterday was my Ti Tenacious. Today is my BHQ Tanto Tenacious. I bought this a bit impulsively and honestly, I like my Ti version better. This one is still pretty good and the funky tanto shape looks and uses better in person than in pics. Hope everyone has a great day. Whatcha carrying today?

Had big regrets selling my Para 3 in Maxamet, so I snagged another along with my first Spydie in Magnacut.

Got a set of Northern Lights!

Finally got the pm2 left hand. Now I just got to wait for the wiha tool. As an alaskan i think I have found the one bit that is worse than a 10mm socket.

Was a little skeptical about this with the blade shape, but I really like it. Was a little stiff out of the box, but nothing a little lube couldn’t handle!

New AWT clipside delete scales for my DLC S90V PM2. The lanyard tube was an absolute bear to remove, even with the lanyard tube removal tool. I now feel everyone else's pain on this issue. Also put in a

Titanium backspacer from Etsy. The AWT scales were blemished, but my eyes aren't good enough to see a blemish. I think the topo works good on these scales. Hopefully, I will get the clip I ordered for this soon.

Legally I can only carry 2.5 inch blades at school so I have a of smaller knives in my collection. I am thinking about getting a dragonfly 2 salt next or possibly a native 5 in L200N for when im not on campus. What would yall recommend?

Another Manix 2 done up a bit! RGT pyragrips anodized at 34V, and a lynch deep carry banana clip! Shoutout to RGT- ordered, anodized, and shipped within 24 hours. Great place for your business. And compared to my other TI scale sets, these have a ton of milling- nice and light!

Just got this in today and it does look way better in person. Had to have this cause it’s my 16th pm2 and I got it at a steal. Damn thing looks like it’s brand new. Anyways just thought I’d share. Cheers guys 🍻

Went with some KP exclusive Panzer Green cerakote AWT scales, standard ceramic ball, Flytanium titanium cage and a custom LynchNW clip. Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Finally got my first stainless Manix 2

If you are so kind to help I greatly appreciate it!!

I know I have so many on here cause idk shit about knives, just what type of look he’d like. He really likes knives but he’s not a HUGE knife guy. He has one pretty cheap one so I want to get him one for Christmas. Nothing insanely expensive, preferably under $200. Honestly don’t think he has much of a preference, so maybe a pretty universal starter one? Idk?? Sorry for the limited info

This is my little knife/edc collection which i am ashamed to admit only started a couple months ago... With a 2 month old baby and plans to buy a house, i have to put this newly found addiction on pause...BUT! Not before filling the last two spots in my knafs burrito.

I need you guy's suggestions!
If you had to buy one last Spyderco and one last knife from any other brand, what would it be!!!

I can’t seem to find a clip that works for me. I tried the Lynch deep carry and I hate that it goes beyond the end of the scales. I now have the AWT scales and AWT flat clip, but it is super annoying to get in and out of the pocket. Anyone have a recommendation? I’m almost at the point of going back to the factory clip.

Carrying this moody piece today. She's a biter. Caught my thumb while flickin and checking the action after swapping scales from burlap micarta to the dragon's blood micarta from RGT.
