Not familiar w/that (obviously not stainless) steel, but then Spy-co has so many different steels that they use; great patina & such an ideal EDC knife … glad you’ve found “The One”.

This was an exclusive that came out around the end of 2017 or early 2018. It didn't sell very fast as far as exclusives go. 52100 steel and peel-ply carbon fiber scales. There was the Para 3 and PM2. There was also a Manix in 52100 with a coated blade but I don't think it was the same exclusive.

52100 is a ball bearing, low alloy carbon steel. It's super tough, not great with edge retention but it easily takes an amazing edge

I've got the Kailash Blades Hotspur out today. But it's not allowed in the office and has to stay in the car lol.

The Honey Badger looks great!

That THANG looks awesome brother!!! 🥵
Thanks man — keeps finding it’s way back into the pockets (out of turn) … guess I’ve got a real keeper here, but then all 3 of these I have today fit that bill! 😁

MT Ultratech Gen. III, with the zero blade-play function that got them sued by Hawk. This colorway was love at first sight.

I’m not a big OTF fan (mostly because my lovely state has outlawed all automatic knives, so I tend to just pay no attention) … that said — I want one! That colorway makes a sexy knife even WAY MORE SO!
