The Native lightweight is a great knife.

It's great to have a full sized knife like the Manix2 that only weighs 3oz.

They need to do a native with a ball lock or compression and itd be the perfect knife

I recently bought the Para 3 with S45VN steel. While not a lightweight knife, it's the most left-handed folder I've seen. The cutting edge is amazing. I didn't think anything would take the place of my Civii Pintail. But it has.

Having never owned a Compresion Lock knive ...it just sppears that unlocking the blade is more natural with a Compression Lock....one finger operation. Nitpick. My SOG has a BB Lock. Could use just one nub (just not recommended...for longevity). Both are priced within a few dollars of each other....the Para 3 and Manix 2.... Size---though the Manix 2 is larger (wider)....probably woudn't sit as comfortably in a jeans pocket (no clip used) vs the Para 3 being narrower. In a jacket pocket...no difference....depending on how many items you have...Manx 2/keys--ok. ...with phone? Para 3...heh... ....for EDC...."size matters". the smaller/narrower the beter.

Great review I have never been a fan of FRN thanks for sharing brother

As a lefty I also love the Manix 2. But at the price point and my experience with the Spyderco Efficient I'm wary. Efficient came with a super stiff blade from the factory and overly aggressive detent.

Wondering if you have any experience with the spyderco smock? Is it safe for a left handed user? Can you accidentally press the lock when holding it?

Being a lefty also I have a native 5 lightweight and a PM 2 LH and would only buy a para 3 if they made a left hand version. The manix 2 takes more space in the pocket then I want to give up. Thanks 👍
