  • The size may be limiting for some – “too big for everyday carry,” according to some users
  • 💬 What the community says

  • „My BD1N manix lw has been stellar… easy to sharpen, no corrosion.“
  • „It sits in the pocket well for its size (it’s huge).“
  • Users especially praise the easy sharpening and the steel’s corrosion resistance, but some complain about lock quality or the larger dimensions.
