I used to own the manix XL. Generous leaf blade design, I did like it at. Sold it to help pay for a zt0560.

I was unaware of the xl until after I purchased my mantix. I keep trying to break it so I can justify getting an xl.... no luck so far.
Endura is my 98% EDC, I like the weight of it.

CRKT M16-14Z. Had it for a decade now, great knife.
Held a Benchmade Griptillian and really liked it, but too large for my office dress attire. I liked the feel of the CRKT knives I held, a LOT, but they either had a dumb safety to close it, or a just as bad one to open it. Totall ruined the knives or I would have had one right now.
I went to Sportsmans and the Army Surplus store and held a bunch. I went to two pawn shops right next to each other. One had a bunch of China junk and the other one had mostly Spyderco and Benchmade. I picked up this Benchmade for $25. Basically the same size as what I already had, but a lot better quality. Sharpened up well also.

Looks like a 551s griptilian.
