Finally, my C95GP Manix is here

Yay, I've been a Manix addict from the day I found out about the Manix 2. I just got the original Manix and I have the foliage green one coming soon. What a beast of a knife, my collection is almost complete!

I think I'm just missing the Mini-Manix. The hunt never ends!

Congrats! I still have to get that one. I've got the C95 in Foliage Green and the Mini. After that, I'll tackle the million M2 variations :eek:

Congrats on the C95.
took me a while to find mine, expensive but worth it, a truly impressive folder. have so far successfully resisted searching for a second C95 (pre-need replacement). :D

Congratulations. IMHO the orginal Manix is one of Syperco's finest. An elegant large folder.

Oh, yes, congratulations of your finds!

Yes, I do very much like the Spyderco Manix2; however, the impressiveness of the original Spyderco C95 Manix overshadows it.

I am fortunate to have both the Black and Foliage Green G-10 PE versions of the C95. They are indeed BEASTS of a knife!

When it comes to Spyderco knives, the original C95 Manix is tied with the Spyderco Military as my most favorite :spyder: s made by Spyderco.

Enjoy!!!

I guess that counts.
The C95 is also one of my favorite folders.
Waiting a lifetime here for the full size model to come out in CF & S90v..... hint hint
Here a few of mine. Started collecting all of the new Manix 2's & have had 'em all. But sold a few as I actually have too many Manix 2's ... LOL LOL
(2 moon glow 1 orange gone.... The Blue & Pink are probably destined for the bay as well) Waiting for the return of the Big un.
A few pic's..... to add to the post.

Never really warmed up to green G-10 as it gets dingy from use.
Sold it NIB.... Now have a Black LNIB user and a NIB back-up.
Looking forward to the big one's return....

No, just black. But there is still hope ;)

It's truly a great knife. I just sold mine off because I wasn't using them. I'll probably end up regretting that.

Mark, if I get your hints right you seem to know something that I don't, so I am going to press you until you spill the beans... ;)
Hypothetically speaking -yeah, right-, do you think it is more likely to be a Sprint Run of the old style C95 (maybe in some exotic steel :D ), or a larger version of the M2?

I don't think that I would ever get rid of a Manix...in fact I want to make sure that I have both green and black and a back up black!

I got nothing...... carry no weight at all here.......
Only thing I have been able to do so far with Spyderco is the M4 Millie through Roger.

Other ideas have been submitted though......

I Just mentioned the "new" full sized Large Manix 2 as its been talked about here over the years.......

It will come, just don't know when...............

And when it does, I will hold out for one in:

Full Sized M2 would be awesome...especially one that was larger than the original Manix :D

And yes a CF S90V of that...I'd never need another knife!! <---doesn't mean I wouldn't buy more :D :D

I don't know, there seems to be a general trend towards smaller knives, not only at Spyderco, but also among custom makers, micro and mini are all the rage lately, and I am not talking about bikinis...
I hope that does not mean we will see fewer and fewer full-sized folders like the original Manix.
