Re: Fake Manix 2 LWs on Ebay?

I called yesterday (Monday, March 11th) about this, Kristi. I asked who could I talk about this (Ana on the phone I think?). She transferred me to the person in charge of such matters, but no answer. I ended up leaving a message, and left my email address. I have not heard back yet. I have about a ...

Re: Fake Manix 2 LWs on Ebay?

Found another listing that includes the three previous steels and Magnacut. Looks just as fake as the others. Hey, Josh: Any chance you could post links? Thanks!

Re: Knifejoy Exclusive...Slysz Bowie??!!

For those that missed out they are already up on the auction site, prices starting at $900. :party-face Oh my goodness! That is insane. So insane, that I just now went in to check the recent Sales history on eBay, of the Slysz Bowie. One (New Blue M390) was going for $950, but he settled for an off...

Re: Spyderco 2024 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

After reading this, I tried to remember what I paid for the OG Slysz Bowie. I can't remember, and cannot find that info in my email at this moment. If I had to guess, I'd say around $375, and that was probably circa 2015. The OG Slysz Bowie C186Ti - Stonewash Ti- PE - CTS-XHP was in production from...

Re: enuff 2!!!

Thank you, chronovore. It really does make for an easy carry, and quick access. I always carry it in the full/deeper side pocket. Then when I go to use the knife, I thumb-off the sheath into the shorter outer pocket you see in the pictures. Then, when I'm done cutting, I can easily see the sheath i...

Re: Manix 2 LW ball bearing replacement

Yes, the LW also has a 3/16" ball. Though now remember, most LW models are of pinned construction, and changing those ball bearings is a much tougher job. :woozy I had heard someone mention earlier, that their Manix 2 Salt (MagnaCut) ball nearing was black, which would make it ceramic. I cannot...

Re: SNK Manix 2 LW is coming!!!

I'm about 340 miles West x Northwest of you, Manixguy@1994. So maybe this time it was just a Midwest thing? :smiling-cheeks

They sure can't blame it on the weather though. Up until today (1 inch of rain @ 52 degrees), the weather has been fantastic for the last dozen weeks.

Re: Manix Sprint

Help me think back, RustyIron. Isn't this the first Rex 45 to be DLC coated, on any Spyderco knife? There was a similar Para 3 and Native 5 from GPKnives. Also a Blade HQ copper handled PM2 exclusive. Thank you. I just couldn't think of any, and I don't follow the Para 3's and Native's very closely...
