Spyderco Manix 2 Blue Sprint Run (C101GPBL2)

I took a look at the regular production Manix 2 back in October and found it to be a very good knife that had an excellent set of features at a very good price.

This sprint improves on almost everything. The liners are milled out to reduce the weight, the blade is flat ground and the handles are that same delightful blue that was featured on the Dodo and Yojimbo.

It's a new design in what I feel is a classic style that went away much to quickly back in 2005. S30V, Blue G10 and Golden manufacturing are what drew me to the company and I'm glad to see them return for this sprint run.

Victorinox Swiss Champ XLT (53504)

Carried this one as my EDC tool for a few weeks two summers ago. It's a nice, well made SAK but it was just to inconvenient to carry long-term. I do like it as a collector item, it showcases a lot of the SAK tools in a nice package.

Here's a review I did over at the MT.org forums.
