It’s might not be as slicey but it more than makes up for it with its superb strength and a sharp 940 will still cut whatever u need it too

940 all day. Only thing the pm2 is better at is slicing the 940 is better at everything else. The pm2 blade is too flimsy and weak the 940 has excellent strength especially with that axis lock which is known for its superior strength. 940 beats pm2 anyday

Manix

Did u have to modify the lanyard tube to work or went right in?

Got 1

I’m really glad I bought the 940-1

Would swap in the SAK Compact knife/tools. Other than that it seems you have a good setup. This was the 1st time a hair bands was suggested in about 30 videos that I have watched.

Mega Cool OTF Knife Awesome I love it so much Greetings Pirmin From Switzerland 🇨🇭

Check out the one I just made if you want to customize yours further it can give you ideas

Im a lefty, so i tend to have an affinity for axis/bar/cross locks (many companyies are using benchmades axis lock under different names now)- as it truly is ambidextrious. That being said, i couldnt agree more- having a true detent, such as the one used on the pm2 or many linerlocks, is 100% safer in pocket. The only knives ive ever had open up in my pocket (and make me bleed) are axis lock folders with protruding thumbstuds, particularly vosteeds. Theyre great knives, and i still carry one everyday, but i recently got a great deal on a worn pm2 (the second one that ill own) that will be my new edc. As a lefty, im also throwing in a CME because spydercos left handed pm2 only comes in one option, and the compression lock as standard is very much anti lefty.

it looks good though

I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong but I’m not getting a very good burr on my knife mind you I’m using aus8 steel so it’s not that difficult to sharpen how can I get tips to help make my knife sharper

Did you ever do a follow-up video on your impressions?

I have this in the tan. But just bought for a birthday present the kershaw blur in olive color. I actually wanted to keep it.

Definitely seems like a solid option for a great price!! I like how you can change the handle scales pretty easily. Thanks for sharing brother!

Yeah Banter on price and just about everything else for that matter, Bugout too American price point for me.

Edc should be worn on a belt. A good quality sharp sheathed blade

I think they listened to your review of their knife because now it has a pocket clip... we have to order it directly from their site but I can't buy everything on Amazon I guess😂.... regardless it's a awesome Blade with the pocket clip on it and use it when I don't want to carry my fixed blade neck knife.. I was going to go for a traditional flipper knife cuz I've never owned one other than a openil and some cheap ones... regardless I got this because I can just change the blades out whenever I need a new one instead of worrying about grabbing out my knife sharpener every damn time😂

Now try again with spyderco maxamet steel!

I have Native 5 Para 2 Para 3 Manix 2 The para 2 because it has a straight line its better for using the tip .. best steel i used is maxamet .. but i will buy rex 121😊

The manix 2 is what got me into spyderco. My very first was the custom manix 2 by Lynch NW. Black g10 with a spiderweb design across the entire blade and on the custom deep carry titanium pocket clip. I love how strong the spring tension is on the ball bearing locking system. It feels like 3x stronger than any of my Benchmade axis lock and hogue able locks.

I agree with what you said I’ve carried a 940 For years. Like you said not the slightest but a good work tool that does what you require of it. Don’t care about pocket clips just take them off and it’s pocket food. Nice thing is with its aluminum construction it’s strong enough to ride in your pocket all day every day.. Who cares if you get a key mark or whatever it’s still works every bit as good as it did before. Green and purple is a great tribute to the Lemans winning jaguar.

Have both, carry the PM2 more, but my Manix is S110V LW so it's one of my preferred knives for moist environments and shorts whereas my PM2 is crucarta. I consider the Manix 2 lightweight in any steel to be the most practical production folding knife in the world bar none. Also S30V is wayyyyyyy underrated

Ive got its little brother.., the Double Agent...bad ass little knife for $30

Have both, but somehow i prefer manix

This thing sucks. The only thing it is good for is to carry on a hiking trip when you have no other means of sharpening. Even then i think I would rather try to sharpen my knife on a rock. The strop and compound sucks, the grit size of the stones sucks, and the surface area is too small. Also because the ceramic rod is round it makes it worthless, it loads up fast and is almost impossible to clean. You'll just wind up convexing all your edges and have overall terrible results.

Use the horl

Those things are amazing, I used to have an in depth on my channel but I had to take it down

I'll have to look into these, I see them on Blade HQ and wanted to see some reviews.

Just carry a bic lighter

Oh I agree 100%, I have other knives but the 940 is still the one I always go to. Like you said I carry little razor knives they were out change the blade easy. But I always have a pocket knife on me at work and it’s 99% of the time at 940. I don’t care about the new craze I want something that is just reliable and works

Price?

Sweet Spydie man! I love the look of that G10!

Get both they're both great knives, for different occasions 😊

Man i could have sworn i subbed to you months ago!! Either way i am back hahah. Thanks for showing this one man i really dig the size and blade shape for sure!!

With Spyderco now using m4 in some of their Chinese models, im hoping to see an M4 bow river. If they released one for sub-$100, it would be one of the best deals out there.

Been wanting this for a while and picked it up for Father's Day and man o man I've run out of knives to sharpen

Nice!

You can’t go wrong but Manix for me (aesthetically I prefer the blade shape).

Anyone with a sound understanding of Total Quality principles as well as the need to meet a wide assortment of performance requirements would immediately recognize that the Hogue Deka is a FAR MORE SUPERIOR knife!! (and at a more affordable price).

It’s really not though.

I’d like it with a file instead of the scissors or saw

Have several sod busters got my first trapper not looking back

Pm2

I own this knife and have lost a couple of the screws... obviously need some blue loctite on them. anyone know where to find replacement parts? I have emailed AKC directly and BladeHQ as well. nobody can point me in the right direction at this point... anyone know the screw specs?

I have an Old Timer trapper but honestly I might buy a Case trapper anyway. Some how this one looks a lot better than the Old Timer I have.

Manix all day. Own many variants of both.

When I bought a 940-2 about 6 years ago I didn't care for it as much as I thought I would. It ended up living in the console of the truck for a while. I decided to take it to work and beat on it until it gave up, or I would lose it and not care. After about a year of abuse that a few other knives couldn't handle, I changed my mind and I consider it the best all around knife I have ever had. As far as it not being slicey enough, I have other blades that are thinner and more efficient but can't take the abuse of the 940. I like so much I have a 940 on the way. Maybe someday I will pick up a custom shop version as well.

As much as I disagree with the outcome of the video. I appreciate the facts that you gave and agree with all to a point. But what I really loved was that this wasn’t clickbait and you didn’t end with it’s a dead even tie both are great knives.

I laugh when I hear “a coin will get in there and damage the blade” because I shove my 940 in crevices and use it as a pry bar 😂 it’s meant to be treated like a farm knife
