The Tyrade in orange really looks great in person. It opens with a bit of a kick so make sure you always have a decent grip on it.

I am intrigued by the Sage II. I had a Sage CF for all of a week. I really liked it but 'lost' it in a trade. The Sage II looks very nice, especially because I like frame locks better then liners.

The Manix 2 isn't something I am likely to purchase. I am not a big fan of saber grinds and I don't care for 154cm. If it were CPM-154, then that would be a different story.
