ball bearing lock
G10

and a sub 3in blade without a finger choil.
any one else?

I agree; I would like to see torx screws instead of rivets on the LW Manix 2.TomAiello wrote:G-10 Manix 2 in s110v with skeletonized liners. The inability to wash through the inside is my only complaint about the awesome LW version.
As for a new model I would like either:
- Native 5 with CBBL or compression lock; no swedge
or
- Mini Manix 2 with < 3" blade and narrower profile. Basically a Spyderco Embassy with CBBL.

I'd design a folding swick that isn't classed as an auto.

Dream Model #1: Start with a Caly Jr., stonewashed M390 blade, no swedge, Larger Spyderhole, Jimping on thumbramp & choil, add some stategic jimping to stock gray FRN handle, keep fishscale texturing on FRN, stonewashed wire clip, or stonewashed standard clip with ENGRAVED Spyder.
Dream Model #2: Start with a Caly 3.5, stonewashed M390 blade, flush mount pivot, add Anso (or similar) macro texturing to G10 scales, provide tip down carry option.
Good Thread!
