Re: Manix2 4v marbled carbon fiber exclusive

Now, I swear I'm done! :D
Buying Exclusives and Sprint Runs, for a while.

I'd like to take this opportunity though (Sal, if you're listening:) To beg for a Manix 2 (skeletonized) Burnt Orange G10 REX 45 DLC Knife.
That's MY goal, for 2019. :spyder:

Re: Manix2 4v marbled carbon fiber exclusive

Also, does anyone know if the liners will be skeletonized in this model? I have the burled g10 Manix and love it, people were tripping that the liners were solid and it would be "heavy". It felt just right to me, love the M2. See my comment in this thread, Spyderman91. On page #3. From Sa...

Re: Manix2 4v marbled carbon fiber exclusive

One of my first thoughts now, when I see a new Manix 2 about to drop. Is how heavy is it? Will it have skeletonized liners? I pay closer attention to that now, after having been shocked recently. When I pulled my new Spyderco Manix 2 Burl G10 Sprint C101MGPBRBBK2 Black DLC S90V Blade Black and Brown...

Lately, I’ve been renewing my love for the Manix2 with my foliage-green XHP version.
I've been doing the same lately! **** I love that knife. I carried it today, as a matter of fact.

This CF Fradon Lock version. I'm going to have to give some thought to.

Re: Waiting for my new Spyderco Manix2 to arrive today.

I'd say about 3/4 of my Manix 2's, all came in with a pretty stiff lock as well. I was told of a trick, once upon a time, and have used it with good results. I got a nail, that is about 0.160" in diameter. I pull the lock back, all of the way. Then slide the nail into the area ahead of the ball...

Re: Lock clicks after replacing manix 2 scales with aftermarket micarta

This has happened to me a few times as well. Maybe 50% of the time?, when putting a M2 back together. What I have found, is that even though the metal back-spacer/ball ramp piece is held into place with self-centering countersunk screws. There is still a small amount of movement that can take place,...

Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45

A Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4, or Rex-45, would be great! I suspect that the Sales numbers for the XL, are holding them back from Sprint-ing it though. I am, in my heart. Fully expecting a Manix 2 next year, early, in REX45. Though I haven't yet heard that is going to happen. It just makes so much sense th...
