Thanks guys for the feedback, I'll have to start fondling the Spydies at the shop soon. The thumb stud on my 5.11 finally worked the rivet loose and fell off. Unless I can figure out something to replace it, the whole blade might be getting replaced soon.

Really want that Wilson Combat Sebbie, but 300$ I do not have laying around. The Yard got to it first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, the ZT bug has bit. Here's a blem 350 I got earlier in the week. Played with it a little next to my Manix 2. The ZT shaves wood nicely and the tip inspires more confidence. Gave them both a couple good smacks on the spine and no lock up failure. The flipper is quite cool also. For EDC, I still like my para 2 more, but I figure as workers, these two are too close for me to call...nice knives!



Can either of them outwork a small fixed blade like this Koyote EDC, Rodent Solution or Izula 2? Negative...but still nice blades to have! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So, what's with all the new things PoP? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Honestly I sold off some custom knives in the past couple of weeks. Needed some pick me up toys to feel better about myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
Moneys been tight for all of us I'm sure,but when I get the bug for new toys the old new toys are the first to go.

So I made about a grand selling my pretties of E-Bay. Now I'm in the process of spending every last penny of that Pay Pal windfall.

Yesterday I went to a "Muffler Shop" in Janesville WI. and through the language barrier we understood enough that I ended up with a oil change
and a 3 inch in and out Magnaflow Flowmaster Super 44 muffler on my sweet
98 Jeep 360 Magnum. Sounds like ..... well you boys know that feeling in your nethers when you go up or down on a roller coaster? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
yeah, that's what it does to me when I hear it.

I'll post a You Tube link this weekend and let ya'all here it too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

NOW back to spending more money. Benchmade BM-755 M.P.R. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
Shane Seberts design nick named Mini Pocket Rocket.
Using Bohler's UBER steel CPM-M-390. Read a LOT ,well actually every word I could find in print on the new ultra clean super steel.

Using this incredible steel is really OVERKILL on a pocket knife. But don't we ALL love overkill in our knives? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Read both positive and negatives on all the forums about the 755 MPR I fall into the love it category.
Fills my beefy hand. Opens with a flick of my thumb. No wrist,no assisted crap, just a silky smooth action.
The Titanium everywhere is groovy. The hashed G-10 scale is lustrous.
DEAD center ROCK solid lock ups.

Shaves Asian beetles wings off in flight. Rides VERY low and weighs a scant few ounces.
NO DLC coating on ANY of my knives. I want to see that steel,unless of course it's a Scrapper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Here's my pix.

7 inches overall with a 2.75 inch cutting edge.












Peace.

How big is it Pop? Could you do an in hand shot? Interesting blade for sure!

There, that should help.

I knew I forgot something. Too excited!

WICKED GRIND LINES ON THIS KNIFE!! REALLY well exicuted by Benchmade too!

It could pass as a Custom by Sebert.

Nice!

I have gone through many folders over the years, but the one that I have been carrying daily for a while now is a Spyderco Military with the camo G-10 handles and black coated blade with no serrations. It is reasonably priced. quick to bring into action and the S30 steel holds an edge for a good while. It is hard to beat for the money.

Thanks for the photos PoP. Always wondered about that knife. She's a porker...looks like something Jerry would make!

Wilson makes a good gun.

Yep,me too,never did like the big hole in the blade & the resulting hump.
I even pissed ol' Sal off by stating that fact over on BF not long ago.(I was dising his Taiwaneese made bushcrafter at the time)TS.
I didn't care for the compression lock on the Para2 either.It's a bit awkward to me.
Loved the translucent digicam G10 & full flat grind though.

I'd allready dismissed the 755 'cus I read it was too small,but seeing your in hand pic,has me wanting one now.I love the tank like look of it & the green scales.
Congrats PoP & thanks for the pics.

My favorite pocket knife. I've carried it for more than 25 years, off and on. I try new ones, but I keep coming back. to my old faithful companion
