Here is the new Astute beside the larger Manix2. The Astute is great if you want a small, inexpensive, SS knife, and I am quite fond of liner-locks.
But the Manix2 is the best folder ever made, esp. in the LW FRCP model. It is the perfect compromise between small enough to carry in your pocket without noticing and large enough to process a couple of halibut. Best action I've ever seen -- from my natural hold position I flick it open with my middle finger from underneath, then to close I pull the ball-bearing tabs back and flick it closed -- totally one-handed operation, and no need to press against my thigh or body and risk closing on a garment. Very safe, and very fast into (or out of) action.
And, I can't say enough about the S110V steel. I can dull it, but I have to cut through a lot of fish bones to do it.
