Mircata and super steel, I could see it being a gents knife... but thats just me...

Thanks for sharing this!

I would take another Dyad, Micro or Normal in any flavor or configuration!

I would imagine that extra less mm would help keep production cost down. Wasn't part of the Manix 2 an attempt to sell the knife for less in hopes of re-coping on higher selling numbers?

What is the big hype about the 4mm think blade? Is it just because the original Manix used 4mm? Has anyone actually had a failure on a 3mm think Manix?

I realize I am a novice around here so please this question is meant to be taken from an educational standpoint.

S35VN's demonstrated edge-rolling tendency is a worry that Spyderco will doubtless correct, but until then, I'd opt for the Caly3.5 (the exciting Super Blue sprint can still be found on eBay, if not at your go-to online retailer). I would second the Caly 3.5 SuperBlue, sweet steel, easy to sharpen,...

I caved in and ordered a CC# one... pretty great price from what I am seeing...?

Thanks for the info Mike! I for one like the shiny clip on mine, just the way you designed it!

Heads up yall!!!!! Howe's has the all their CC#s Manix XLs on pre-order and to quote... "THE PREMIERS AND COLLECTORS WILL BE IN STOCK 12/19" Surprised they are comin so soon, bit stealthy on spydercos part! now I really am debating... "ONLY-THE PREMIERS/COLLECTORS WILL BE IN STOCK MON...

Wow man that is beautiful! Congratulations on the sick piece!

Living in Santa Fe I really need to stop by. Been thinking of having em mod something myself... Wonder if they'd do a mule...

I like it a lot! Although the price is a killer, makes since considering the materials.

I think I'll have to wait for pics before I am fully convinced :D Though pre-order at Howes for a CC is tempting...

Possibly update your adobe reader?

Looks like they are all gone from Howe's! Impressive!

I would personally like to see it offered in a carbon steel for the fact that original navajas were made from carbon steel. I also think it would add character to such a nice design Damascus would be nice also. I wouldn't mind some horn or smooth bone handles either. Hmmm ya I like those ideas very...

It seems as though the Navaja is frequently sold out at various locations. Is this because it is a low production knife or is it really that popular? Maybe I just dig the knife a little too much, maybe i have just been bitten by the bug, but is there any one else out there that would like to see the...

I would really love to see any one of the Bohlers tool steel for knives mentioned above, Shirogami, or some other high carbon / non-stainless steel!

Elmax sounds pretty sweet too. Sounds like a great variation in results at different RC, I wonder what hardness the mule will be offered in?

I would go for it in a Mule as well... living in the desert spoils you when it comes to things not rusting...

Anymore information on this steel?

Being without additives do you really think it will take a sharper edge or just be easier to sharpen?

I believe that also means little corrosion resistance?

It certainly seems to be, I know I have one on order. I think Michael Janich's post in another thread totally sold what was already sold out...

Thanks for the suggestions, I guess I need to go cut some more stuff :D I find myself gripping it in different ways, the two fingers in the choil is quite effective, before posting here I was not sure it was "proper" to be used that way. So far I have a Manix, Gayle Bradley, and now the Na...
