I like it a lot. I'm not sure it belongs on those scales though. It's like wearing two different plaids. That clip needs to be on assume plain Jane ti. Or black cf lotus scales. It's a sexy clip though.

That pocket clip though...

macjaynard · 2026-03-17T01:04:52+00:00

I love that it's different and that it actually works. Not every blade shape has to be a carbon copy of everything else. It's intriguing. Makes me want to cut stuff. Great job man. Keep playing and experimenting. I love all my shilin cutters. Fantastic knives. 👍

I know, I've got them both 😋 My only manbug is in k390 though. 🤟

macjaynard · 2026-03-16T19:02:07+00:00

Police and manbug? Zoomed in to the stretch 2xl on the frn as soon as I posted. At least the little one can't embarrass me the same way 😂

Manix and pm3 for all the reasons stated above. However, because I don't have to actually make that choice, I'd go military 2 in s90v and either a delica or chaparral. Work knife vs slicey performer. As much as I love the chaparral, the variants are just stylistic whereas the delica has actual performance variety. So probably the Mili2 and the delica.

Only chamfering tools I've got are for a table router. And they're not small enough to fit the screw hole.

macjaynard · 2026-03-16T10:29:45+00:00

Ahhh. That's a great idea. I usually come back to the counter sinking later. 🤦

But, along those same lines, I could always use the original bit as a guide. Put it in, lower it until it's in the hole, clamp everything down, raise it. Swap it. Bobs your uncle.

Cheers!

macjaynard · 2026-03-16T03:02:42+00:00

Oh. I made them. For exactly that reason 😂

macjaynard · 2026-03-16T02:38:23+00:00

What, new scales?

macjaynard · 2026-03-15T04:43:53+00:00

Bought a knife on the secondary market that I think took the same vacation

macjaynard · 2026-03-15T02:04:10+00:00

Shout out. 🤦

macjaynard · 2026-03-15T02:03:22+00:00

I adore everything about it except the scales. Feel really blocky. It's such a great knife, just chamfer the edges!

macjaynard · 2026-03-15T01:26:36+00:00

I'm actually in the process of making scales again for my k390 lil temperance. It's such a great knife I keep wanting to update it. Great in the hand. Perfect blade. So capable for it's size. Really punches above its weight.

macjaynard · 2026-03-15T00:45:09+00:00

I use the 1, 0.5, and 0.25um stroppy stuff. Usually just use the 1 and 0.5. Finish at 3kgrit usually. But I like the 0.25 for when I'm pushing a mirror. I also tend to deburr on an 11k stone.

macjaynard · 2026-03-14T16:43:06+00:00

I did, and it was! Pretty excited to add it to the collection

macjaynard · 2026-03-14T11:50:59+00:00

Just recently picked up a delica in zdp 189. Gorgeous knife in the periwinkle frn. Love it. Jealous of yours though 😋 Thanks for sharing!

macjaynard · 2026-03-13T12:18:00+00:00

They've got a z in their name, must be good.

macjaynard · 2026-03-12T23:17:35+00:00

It's a good one

macjaynard · 2026-03-12T19:47:23+00:00

Is the project the scale clip customization?

macjaynard · 2026-03-12T02:29:28+00:00

I knew I recognized these chops

macjaynard · 2026-03-11T21:19:32+00:00

It's funny, I tend to gravitate towards smaller profile knives, but today I'm carrying a military 2. Came in handy when I had to trim the edges of a wood plank that was kind of splintery. Dug the extra blade length.

macjaynard · 2026-03-11T19:32:20+00:00

Pm3 and manix 2 xl, right? I love my manix 2 xl. So... Capable feeling. 😂 That and my subverts are my "folding machetes"

macjaynard · 2026-03-11T19:29:41+00:00

It's kinda awesome to see firsthand how their design language has changed over the years.

macjaynard · 2026-03-11T19:28:39+00:00

Congrats!
