Thanks, I figured that one, any other options?

Check out Christensen Knifeworks on Instagram, cknifeworks. I had him regrind an Emerson and I am very happy with it.

Brad Southard did two knives for me.

Check out William (seelow123) over BF. He did his, but I'm not sure if he's taking order.

Love the idea mainaman, I have been holding off on pulling the trigger on a Manix 2, mostly because I am not crazy about the saber grind as most of my edc uses are slicing or light-medium duty tasks so I prefer my FFG blades. I missed out on the multiple FFG sprints so a re-grind sounds like a great way to get the performance of the FFG without shelling out for the previous sprints. Let me know what you find out, I know there is at least one forum member who is doing re-grinds, but I am not sure if they are offering this as a service as of now. I haven't spent much time researching this on BF, but I did get some awesome anodizing done through the custom shop at BF...may be worth a check.

Would the blade from a Manix 2 LW work in a normal Manix 2? If so, I may have to acquire a second LW and a G10 version to make a FFG Frankenstein G10 Manix 2 until a FFG version (Sprint or otherwise) comes along.

Not sure if the blades fit or not, I do not have either. One thing to consider is you would have to live with the BD-1 steel for the lightweight vs the S30v for the saber ground G10 version.

I do prefer S30V to BD1, but I prefer FFG blades. And I don't hate BD1...I like the stonewashed finish of the blade, and I find it to be easier to sharpen than S30V so it wouldn't be a huge deal. It would be a temporary fix though, and I have several other knives I want before I can afford to start buying spares to swap parts around. So it's not super likely, but I'd be tempted a little if it's possible.

Thanks for chiming in.
I am exploring a few options here in US, I'll see how that goes first.

Uh-oh. Now you've started me thinking about that. I wonder if I can get a Manix 2 reworked into a drop point FFG...?

I'm sure David will chime in on whether this can or has been done, surprised no one else has mentioned doing a FFG regrind on a standard Manix 2...

There have been many FFG Manix 2's done. I've seen around a dozen for sale on the secondary market.

Most of the ones I've seen have been done by Krein, but he doesn't do them anymore.

I just shipped off four knives to Travis :) . A G10 Polliwog, Schempp Khukuri, Breeden Rescue, and Fallkniven PXL Workhorse.

Just based on the pics and word of mouth he seems to understate his abilities :D .
