Best praise vs top criticism for Spyderco Manix 2
“Nice combo, but it's wild what some people's definition of cheap is. To me cheap is something like a Casio 91w and a Chinese Spyderco, not a G-Shock and a Manix 2 lol.”
“If you need scissors often, then I would stay away from the NexTool Mini Sailor Lite. While it's quite tiny the scissors on it are hard to open and not very strong. I like the NexTool Mini Flagship as it has good scissors, but thats my personal preferance. As others have suggested there is also the NexTool Mini Sailor Scissors Version that has scissors as main tool and smaller plier (similar to a Victorinox CyberTool), but it's heavier than the Lite version. The Micra is probably your best option if you need a tiny tool and don't need pliers. The Roxon M2 is similar to the NexTool Mini Flagship but is much bigger and heavier.”
