Is there any sharpening magic for getting that perfect point back? I think you have to spend a lot of time taking off a lot of material, and it might help to take down the spine just a bit. I used an old Manix 2 when I moved 7 years ago and in the process of cutting open a lot of boxes by cutting t...

"Shaman on steel cables" for me.

I chose the one that I would carry, the Manix 2. Everybody has different tastes so I can't choose the best for you. My preference in EDC includes various versions of the PM2 and various versions of the Manix 2.

Oh,,,Manix,,, HMMM I hope it follows

There have already been at least 2 runs of Manix2 in Cruwear, but I think Cruwear is a good steel for it so nothing wrong with producing more of them.
I also think cruwear is a good steel for the PM2.

I'm not a PM3 fan. I tend to think of the supersteels as good for knives that you would do a lot of cutting with so for me that means PM2 and Manix2. I don't think you can realize the benefit of the steels in a smaller knife. I think S110V, M4 and cousins, and K390 and cousins are good in the PM2 an...

Knife monogamy is a myth. Even before I knew any better, very many years ago, I wasn't satisfied with just one. And I've learned that knife people are some of the most fickle out there, every bit as fickle as watch collectors. Before the package arrives in the mailbox they are looking for the next t...

I had a dream last night I owned it. Woke up confused for a bit lol, can't believe I'm dreaming about knives! You wake up and wonder where it is! I've had some opposite nightmares where I would advertise a knife for sale then I would try to find it in my closet, when I can't find it I wonder if I a...

It's a very interesting model but too heavy for me- my limit would be about the 5.0 oz weight of the G10 Manix 2. To me one of the advantages of the standard PM2 is its weight. But for the people who like this version- I wish you good luck in getting one and I am somewhat envious of the Rex45.

I used to think the Manix 2 was somewhat obscure but these days it has become very popular. Similarly the Bradley folder 1. Other models that I like and think are still obscure- Tatanka and Starmate.

I don't care if it free swings or not, I think I prefer a little friction. I just got back from an offroad trip in Colorado where I carried my Manix 2 S110V version so it is setting right here on my desk. When I pull the lock tab the blade drops almost 1/4 turn then stops. This is just right for me,...

Yes it IS a full size knife- to the Geico Gecko.

I buy folding knives to use and I buy fixed blades for a variety of reasons. Very few are sentimental enough that I am guaranteed to will them to my daughter, but I have already given her quite a few that she had an interest in. A few of my knives have sentimental value because I received them as gi...

There is a faint click when I break the detent

I can't imagine what would cause this. I have 5 Manix 2 and 2 Manix 2 XL and only this newest one makes the click.

What do you want them to do for you? There is another knife company that will replace your blade for a fee, but the problem is that they run out of blades and then they can't help you any further. So you're back in the same boat of needing to buy another knife.

It's obvious that exclusives in 4V are of limited benefit to enthusiasts because they get bought up too fast, there will either have to be a lot of exclusives or it will have to be available in a production model so that everyone who wants one has a chance to buy it. My take is that it is incrementa...

About the time I got mine out of my mailbox there was already one for sale on a knife forum, and I count 12 for sale on ebay.

I received my satin version today. First of all it looks great and feels great. One thing I noticed was that the edge grind is much wider than my other Manix 2 XL. That would make me think it is sharpened at a lower angle. When I get a chance I'm going to measure the blade thicknesses behind the edg...

I started hitting the website slightly before 10:00 MT and all it said was "coming soon". Then maybe 15 sec. later I got the "out of stock". I knew it wouldn't sell out in the 5 seconds I was waiting between refreshes so I kept doing it and another 10 or 15 seconds it said "in stock". Then it took a...

Good luck to everyone who wants to land one this morning -- these are gonna go super quick I think! It's hard to predict. The Manix 2 XL has its fans but in general is not that popular with the overall public, I think because of its size. However there is a lot of interest right now for any exclusi...

I like both models but my impression is that more people like the Military than the Manix2 XL. The Military is available in a lot more variations than the Manix2 XL, however you can sometimes find the Manix2 XL used for a good price.
