Just got my Manix 2 XL in today.....

Thanks for the size comparison pics. That delica one really helped me out since I'm staring at my Delica now... I think it would be a manageable EDC but, i'll look into the Native 5.

Edit: Just looked up the Native 5. Super great looking knife, but it's a backlock. After my Delica I don't think Im going to purchase anymore backlock knives unless its on super blowout clearance. lol....

Johnny thanks for the info on the Manix Blue. I found it on knifecenter also for $109.95 with free shipping but, its for preorder only. And cutlershoppe is back ordered with no ETA..... why are these things so addicting and frustrating sometimes!? lol

May order this tonight..... although I figured if I were buying yet another knife, I wanted something different like the all black Manix 2 but. I dont know if its worth the extra money just to get a black blade. Not a fan of FRN neither but, it looks like a nice knife. And I really want to try out that 110V..........

The all black Manix is no slouch either, s30v is a great steel. It's a noticeably heavier knife than the s110v lightweight although both knives have the same dimensions. I don't have the black dlc model but I have heard that the coating creates a bit of extra resistance when cutting compared to a satin blade. The s30v version comes with an hourglass clip whilst the s110v lw has a wireclip. The s110v version is pinned construction rather than the screwed on the s30v, this means that you can't take the s110v knife apart however it's a very simple knife to clean so you should never need to.

Now I don't want to stir the pot any more but have you looked at the Paramilitary 2? :p

I plan on buying a Para2 eventually but, isn't that nearly the same length as the XL just a bit thinner in width?

Also, do they make a G10 Manix 2 with 110V yet? I also don't like that I can't take it apart. Not a huge deal. But I like knowing I can, and also having the ability to change out scales if need be... That might be a game changer right there,

Here's a comparison shot of a few models you're considering. Not the best pictures but they'll give you an idea.

Love the scales on the first 2. Thanks for the pic.
