There should be a large(er) Manix 2 coming out. I don't know the specs on the upcoming Bradley Folder, but for some reason I have it in my mind that it should be fairly large. I haven't heard any projected release timeframe. :confused:

Over on blade forums someone was talking about the Tenacious and Sal said Eric is considering a larger version call the Resilence. If so, i'm in!

I would love to see a larger, full-flat ground version of the Manix 2. That would be a sweet update of the grand, ol' C95 (which I am carrying as I type this).

I don't know if I've seen any size specs on the proposed Tuff folder, but Ed Schempp has mentioned it was conceived as a very strong and heavy duty knife. That makes me think it'd be rather beefy in terms of thickness.

I couldn't find it (and hope I didn't just dream it :o ) but I could have sworn that I saw somewhere that the larger version of the "in the works" Manix 2 had goodies like FFG and S90V in the works. Hope I wasn't just dreaming :confused:
I really like my recently acquired PE C95. Several CE's showing up, but PE is pretty hard to find!

Soudns very, very interesting!!! I loved tenacious (unfortunately stolen by sister and destroyed by sirius abuse of her boyfriend :( ). I love massive folders for hard work but I´d love to see it in VG10 than in 8Cr13MoV... or better - 8Cr13MoV made in Taiwan. :D

I believe Sal was talking about another release of the new smaller Manix 2 Eric is working on in S90V. It's in the Casual Bombshell thread.

The Tuff has been in the prototype stage for a few years now. Apparently the problem is finding someone who will manufacture it (or at least someone who can do it without it costing an arm and a leg).
Apparently there has been some progress made recently, but not word officially.

Yeah, they sure are hard to find. Don't ya wonder how the C95 could've ever been discontinued? Such a beautifully utilitarian knife.

It's been there a while as pre-order only.

The upcoming SuperLeaf weighs in at 3-7/16" of blade length with an overall length of 7-15/16".

I believe it'll be out by the end of the year.

If they do build a massive folder, I hope it is fitted with a large diameter pivot pin, Like 1/4" or larger. Note, Emerson has a 1/4" dia and Strider 3/8".

I have a few large folders, they are usefull on occasion.
