I have a S110V blurple PM2 and one of their Knifeworks S90V carbon fiber/Titanium framelock military folders. Will see if anything interests me.

Quote HistoryQuoted:  I recently found out I drive but their shop occasionally. If they wouldn’t have had the sign out on the sidewalk I’d have never known. Wonder how they’d feel about an 80k+ pound truck in their parking lot?  There's street parking there around the East side. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For autos go with Protech or Microtech. I’m not the kind of guy that buys Microtech knives. I buy $25 Kershaws because: I won’t lose a $25 knife but I guaran-damn-tee I’d lose a $500 Microtech. I can’t sharpen a knife skillfully as stated earlier. I’d lose it. I wouldn’t carry a high quality knife because I’d lose it. The edge might get damaged cutting wires or heavy zip ties. It’d stay locked up in the safe because I’d lose it. I’d be afraid to damage the edge when using it like a screwdriver or pry bar. The last reason I wouldn’t spend $500 on a knife is because it would fall out of my pocket somewhere never to be seen again aka losing it. My max $ for a decent quality knife is ~$150. I may go 200-250 for a better auto but I’d need a few drinks first. That almost never happens though. That Embassy for ~$100 is right up my lane. |

You can get a lightly used, like new Ultratech or UTX85 or LUDT fairly easily for $175-$225 |

A factory second PM2 would be great. I lost mine earlier this year, which really sucked. I bought another PM2, and a tenacious, which I carry each day, so I would be less likely to lose the nice knife again. Be good to have some middle ground there. I could lose a factory second and be less annoyed.
The Chinese Tenacious has been ok, but it's not as nice as the PM2. |

I've been carrying a Spyderco since 1992 when I was 13 or so. The only time I've ever had to replace one is when it got lost or I wanted a different model. I have several but have settled on an all black Salt 2 Delica that never rusts after salt water snorkeling or kayaking. I just give it a quick fresh water rinse, no oil.

I've been carrying a PM2 with camo G10 for a couple years now, save for the mistake I made trying to EDC an Ultratech, but I hope they have an assload of PM2's with black G10 to offload tomorrow!! Also have an Endura...and would grab a second. Have a Resilience but I wouldn't pull the trigger there unless it was $10 or so... love/hate relationship there. |

But, I swapped it in after I lost my old school Benchmade AFCK, so it hasn't filled those shoes. I don't worry about losing, or abusing it, but It's "just" a knife to me. So, I'm gonna be looking for a PM2 and a Smock (maybe an Endura) as well. |

Look for the left hand Paramilitary 2 (compression lock) and the left hand Military (liner lock). Nearly all of their back lock (Delica, Endura, Dragonfly Police, Salts, etc) and Ball bearing lock (Manix) models are truly ambidextrous with both right and left sides drilled for the pocket clip. |

What do you guys recommend for a good EDC knife from them? Say $100 or less. I used to carry a Griptilian but the clip was a piece of shit. I’ve been carrying a cheap Kershaw for a while and am looking to upgrade.

Guess I'll need to keep an eye out for a manix. I had been carrying a Native 5 for a long time until the clip broke and I never had it replaced, and I'm currently carrying a matriarch 2 but its not a good option for general purpose cutting.

I’ve been carrying a cheap Kershaw for a while and am looking to upgrade. Their core models, (like the griptillian is that company), to would be the Delica and Endura. The Delica would be the rough equivalent to the mini-grip, and the Endura to the fullsize-grip. The standard versions of the Delica and Endura are sub-$100 anyways, so a second should be well within your price range. If you want to move it up a notch, look at the Paramilitary 2. They go for $130-150 for a standard version, so I’d assume a “second” is going to be sub-$100. |
