Does Lightweight Mean GOOD or CHEAP??? 

Yeah bro the Taiwan Spydercos are next level man. Agreed

I have a sage 5 lw and it is flawless but the handle does have a smoother less grippy texture and my dry old man hands slide on it but not with my manix 2 lw it has deeper more emphasized grip grooves that lock my hand in. I love both knives of course but might need some g10 on my sage 5 and don't feel the need to upgrade the manix.

@@DustinFlu interesting, I have a Sage 5 lw black and a Manix 2 lw translucent blue. The Sage is way grippier, the Manix is much smoother. Maybe the translucent scales are a different texture. I don’t like it at all, feels cheap and the checkering is too much. Perhaps the solid color Manix lw has a different texture. The Sage feels nice. Having said that, the G10 models feel far superior imo.

Absolutely man! Totally agree WAY better haha💯

Lego tuff

Very true brother, the contouring on those Knives will make a different feel in hand. Absolutely

Thanks a lot dude! Yeah I completely agree. Can't go wrong with the good brands. Super pumped to hear that the video helped add a sweet blade to your collection bro. Appreciate you and the support⚔️ God bless

Very cool. Thanks a lot! Very informative

Interesting, what is the purpose of the coating, does it aid in slicing through materials?

Dude that's awesome! The Rex 45 manix is a heavy hitter and pretty reliable in my experience. The quality and functionality is absolutely there for the money. Appreciate you tuning in and commenting! God bless

You won't have any of those problems with the Manix especially the lock, instead of omega springs the Manix uses a coil spring, imo Spyderco is just a better company I've never had a QC problem with any of my Spyderco knives and I've owned and still own a decent amount, Benchmade on the other hand I can't say the same for. Congrats on the new knife I'm sure you're gonna love it 👍⚔️

I'll have to check those out man! I love Lynch NW, they do great work over there. Idk man I wish spyderco did hahaha. Their clips need CQI for sure lol

@@raydens_armory Definitely. They have been the same forever it seems. At least a bit deeper carry.👍🏻

Thanks a lot sir! I really appreciate that, and the sub, brother. Excited to do more content on these newer offerings from Spyderco and other brands. Really happy to hear you got a kick out of it, makes it more fun knowing people like u support the work here😎 God bless

Very cool! Yeah I hear you man. I would prefer something like aluminum or ti haha. But yeah brother I 100% agree with ya

Awesome dude! Yeah all those will serve you well however, for the value, dollar for dollar the Rex 45 is gonna be your best bet. Plus it will hold a long sharp edge for a really long time, and with its pretty good toughness it will do well in a lot of different cutting tasks. Me second choice will be the s30v cuz it's really well rounded with good corrosion resistance and good edge retention, but kinda chippy. So I'd say rex 45 man, I think you'll enjoy that one the most. As long as it's kept with a thin layer of oil on the blade to prevent corrosion, since rex 45 is not at all stainless lol. Appreciate you tuning in! God bless you. Numbers 6:24-26

@@raydens_armory Thanks! Yeah I’m really leaning on that one. I appreciate the reply. ✌️

@@tonyjirik2145 Nice choice man, yeah course, my pleasure brother

I like the blade too brother. God bless

Awesome dude!! Enjoy bro, it's a breeze to carry

Haha cool man, whatever floats your boat brotha. Yeah I like g10 better too. Take care

Absolutely 💯

Same here man, glad to hear it. Yeah it's a great carry blade, hard to beat

I believe the G10 Manix with S30V steel is the only one that doesn’t have milled liners- all specialty steels/sprint runs have them milled out. I don’t know why they don’t do the same on the standard model.

Absolutely 💯

Yeah man my GP Knives Rex 45 one is like that too. Luck of the draw I guess haha

@@raydens_armory ok at least it is a thing not worried about it then 👍🥳🤓

@@sprinkleddonuts6094 haha yeah man 😆😁

I'm liking it so far, although I haven't tested it out too much. I'll do a video in the future talking about the performance that I get out of it. I'll keep the channel posted brother 😎

I think we're getting these for the Steel, not much for the handle. The cool thing about the market today is that companies like Original GOAT are doing LW Manix scales in aluminum and titanium. Now putting those blades on premium handles like those is truly my goal

Sure does 😅

Dang son

Yeah pretty much haha

Right!?

Oh nice dude! Oh yeah the color is a little weird on that one lol. Great steel and user though for sure ⚔️

Thanks a lot my brother, much appreciated! Yeah absolutely, I'll hit you up if I find anyone ahha. That blade sick, yet to get that one lol

🤣 okay brah. Have a nice day

I usually get more emails if anything lol and I don't eat Cheetos ahaha. But I do work at job sites and it rules as a backup blade brotha
