An amazing knife for anyone that cares about actually cutting things

The hype is real on Manly products. At 15 degree's, we're still under .01" behind the edge. .009" to be exact. I've now got two sharpenings on it and I'm extremely happy with it. The edge retention on the 14c28n is better than the rest of my knives in the same steel. I cant explain exactly how much because I dont have the time to sit there and cut hundreds of feet of cardboard and jot it all down. But I use my knives everyday for everything from breaking down boxes, cutting zip ties and cutting hundreds of feet of foil, tarp, plastic, banding, etc... and this Manly clearly stands out. The ergonomics are pretty good. The only hot spot being the ultra deep carry pocket clip but its hardly noticeable. The walk and talk is pretty terrific. Hard snappy action with a reasonable pull. Your hand naturally falls in a way that the blade cannot shut on your fingers. The G10 has reasonable texture providing great grip without it being uncomfortable. I haven't found any edges that haven't been chamfered. The highlight of this cutting tool is the cutting performance. Thanks to a thin geometry, it simply glides through material without resistance. The way it cuts reminds me of old, traditional style knives like Case. Thin blades just dont hang up on material and bind. They just simply cut and the Manly Wasp does so in a way you would never expect from a sub $60 knife. Between the steel, treatment, and execution... there's not a single complaint. They've even added an adequite sharpening notch. Speaking of sharpening. With such thin geometry and a very precise HT, sharpening is a breeze. I would normally start sharpening on a 320 diamond but with the Wasp, I start on a 700ish diamond. Jump to 2500 diamond and final stone being a 10k Chosera. A few passes on a 1 micron Basswood strop and call it a day. Its one of my faster knives to sharpen. This is a "working man's" knife.

This little beast is amazing. Cuts like crazy due to the great blade grind. Very sturdy and no worries about it being a slippie. This isnt going to close by accident. They seem to habe the heat treat for this steel spot on, great edge holding. Liked it so much Ive order another of their knives!
