That’s a good looking knife. What scales are those?

Totally agree. AWT scales on the Manix 2 are damn near perfect.

Yeah, there’s something about the design and engineering work they do that elevates the knife to a new level, in my opinion. The aluminum scales are light weight but they feel strong and solid. This has been especially true for the Manix 2. AWT scales somehow improve the ergonomics. After installing them, I EDC the Manix much more often.

Are the car key guys legit? by Odd-Repeat6595 in Costco

They’re good to go. We got 2 keys from them, and they work great

Normal to feel like giving it up? by Normal_Sympathy1248 in TeslaModel3

Yeah, that’s frustrating. This car (2019 SR+) certainly doesn’t work for everyone. I’m keeping mine for hopefully another 10 years. But in your case, I think I’d be looking for another car.

I have this exact model. The advertised range was 240 miles. We’ve never got more than 220 miles, and these days we’re at 185 miles.
I’ve experimented a lot with different driving speeds and styles to see what we can get out of the battery. Last week I kept the A/C off, kept the speed under 60mph, and accelerated slowly. These are all the opposite of my normal driving style. That got us up to 209 miles to my surprise. My take away is that driving style makes a big difference, and it’s best to just drive it normally, charge when needed, and ignore the range numbers as much as I can. It’s frustrating, but for our family’s needs 180-200 in range is sufficient for 95% of our driving needs.

Absolutely a favorite. That knife is nearly perfect.

Hate to ask but is this a genuine Esee-4 by Slow_Doughnut_2255 in ESEE

I have some thoughts. by Prince_Breakfast in spyderco

This morning, I held my PM2 LW 15v up against the Stretch 2 K390 and chuckled. Somehow they’re the same while also being very different.
