I used to carry a Native 5 in CPM M4 until I misplaced it and have yet to find it again. Looking to get a new EDC knife, and the Manix 2 is looking tempting. I'm having trouble deciding between the Cru-Wear with the micarta handle (I've never owned one, but always liked the look of micarta), or the MagnaCut with the lightweight handle. I know the main difference between the steel is the corrosion resistance, but I never had any rust issues with M4, so I doubt I'd have any with Cru-Wear. Any thoughts on either the difference in steels or difference in handles, or even if I should just be looking at something completely different? I don't do anything crazy with my knife, mostly stuff for my job like cutting boxes, zip ties, etc.
