I'd like to see pictures of Manix Mini Manix Caly Jr. and Para milie for size comparison.

I saw a manix at my local dealer today and I'm wondering how the mini manix and the caly jr compares to that.

Before making my mind I'd really appreciate

Don't own a Para, so can't help you on that one.

Well thenick, I don't have a 80mm Manix but do have a Para.

So in addition to The Deacon's(waaay better) pics:

In terms of 'feel' and handling I can tell you that the Mini Manix and the Caly jr are worlds apart. The Mini Manix is considerably wider and thicker in the hand than the Caly. Also the Mini Manix is considerably heavier than the lightweight Calypso jr.

Performance-wise; where the Caly jr. slices through onions in the kitchen, the Mini Manix binds a little, due to the much wider and thicker blade. The Mini Manix is a lot of fun though. Feels like you pulling out a porche, the profile kinda reminds me of one too. So cutting up heavy cardboard boxes is much more comfortable with a Mini Manix. Although the Caly never wavered, in the back of my mind I always consider the thin tip. Not so with the Mini Manix. The Mini Manix also doesn't 'turn' in cardboard or other media during cutting, as well as the much narrower Caly.

Carry-wise; the Mini Manix is more noticeable than the Caly, which just disappears in any carry position.

The Paramillie is a nice intermediate choice between both models though.

thanks everyone

the para-milie is the only one of the list that I currently own so It's the one I'm using for size comparison.

I'd say that the Mini-Manix and the Caly Jr. would make a great combo.
