Yea I would be open to anything. I just love the lock and any new designs would be welcome. Regarding dirt and grime. I have used my manix in all conditions. Working in the yard in sand, dirt, mud, working with all types of food and never had an issue with the lock. I have found them easy to clean a...

A case for the CBBL. The Manix has been a great success but no other EDC knives with this lock have been released since the original Manix came out in 2004? The Caged Ball Bearing Lock (CBBL) is my favorite lock by far. It is easy to manipulate, strong, reliable, smooth, and fun. It is also easily m...

I haven’t logged in in a while but I just saw this thread and an Endura in this configuration would be awesome!

I have a GB2 and it has never caused a problem. I never stick my finger close to the end of the knife to get cut or cause a problem. The GB2 is one of my favorite knives of all time.

CBBL. It doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I would love to see more designs with it.

My KC pre order shipped but it looks like they are out of stock now.

Not sure if it was this post or another. So here goes again. More CBBL. Please!!!

Patiently waiting for KC to fill my preorder from December....can't believe you guys already have them, after its posted it will still take 2-3 weeks to get here! Till then I'll be reading you guys posts in this thread :) I’m in the same boat. Usually KC gets knives pretty quick. I got my Caribbean...

How do KC's preorders work? Are you not charged until they ship? What's the ETA on these?

You are not charged on KC pre orders until it ships. I had the Caribbean on preorder for a year and just got charged yesterday when it shipped.

I can’t beleive the Manix was left out but hopefully we will get it eventually.

I think the REX 45 Military is going to be my first Millie.

I’m in. My grandfather was in the Navy and my son is planning on going into the air force. It so important for us to never forget the sacrifices.

So is this dropping in the US soon since they dropped in Europe?

I'd be surprised if micarta happens at all given the shrinkage issues Sal mentioned. I'm not crazy about the light denim color so I think out of these two I'd go for the brown. I'll settle for plain old G10 in any decent color if it means getting a better steel in this knife. Agreed but what about ...

You want it to Patina and get some character. Apply mineral oil as often as necessary. It will protect and condition the wood well.

I haven’t read all of the posts but I would like a less bulky clip. I don’t like the large triangle. Even the classic hourglass like on an Endura would be fine, it just needs updating. Tip up carry too.

I would prefer CBBL. A K390 Manix would be awesome.

I have 4 Manix and haven’t had lock issues on any.

The holds closed well too so that would not be a concern.

Manix cru wear carbon KC exclusive by far.

Any Manix I own.
