New Knife....What's in the box?
New Knife....What's in the box?
What paperwork should I expect in the box with my new Manix 2
It actually came with nothing. Seems a bit strange.

Re: New Knife....What's in the box?
Mine came with the info on Cru-wear. All of my spydies came with a little piece of paper with some info though. Where did you buy it? Where do you live? Some stores open and check all boxes, I'm in Canada so sometimes customs opens them up. Perhaps it just fell out and got lost?
If you're wielding the sharpest tool in the shed, who's going to say that you aren't...?
Re: New Knife....What's in the box?
I'm in the UK. I guess it could have been lost in transit.
I'm going to email the vendor and ask them why there's no paperwork.

I've had a BNIB police 3 g10 come with no paperwork from Bladehq and I'm in the US.

Re: New Knife....What's in the box?
I have a Manix 2 LW coming from KnifeCentre, perhaps that will give me an overall idea of what to expect. From what you say dubya3, it's not cut and dried. Anyway, the knife is fantastic and I'm well pleased to be part of the Spyderco family.

The pattern I see is that most regular production models do not come with paperwork, but most sprints do. There are exceptions.

My Stretch2 and PM2 were the only ones to come with paperwork, I believe. The Matriarch2 came with a warning about not using it for EDC.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Re: New Knife....What's in the box?
Some models come with nothing but the knife, in a baggie, resting on a piece of foam, in the box. While some models also have a general Edge-U-Cation pamphlet packed in with them and some have a model specific Edge-U-Cation pamphlet. Base (standard) models of in house designs are the least likely to have literature.

2/4...BD1 and s110v had paperwork, both G10 versions didn't.

Who did you buy it from? By the way, how have you got on buying from the US, any UKBA problems?ftwizard wrote:What paperwork should I expect in the box with my new Manix 2

In the UK I bought from Tactical-Kit, the US one is from Knife Centre. The US one hasn't arrived yet, but I don't anticipate any problems, except the usual customs delay and payment. Shouldn't be any issue with UKBA, it's not illegal to import normal knives, only flick knives and their like.aesmith wrote: Who did you buy it from?

True in theory, but there are reports of normal locking folders being seized as "gravity knives".

That's odd, my matriarch 2 came with the usual edge-u-cation paperwork with a little insight to the design and warranty information but didn't come with the warning yours did.

Edge-u-cation sheets are sort of random.
They decided a couple of years ago to start making them for all new knives. The older knives, they are going back and writing sheets for them, but no one is doing it full time.
Unless you're getting a model that just came out, I would expect maybe 50/50 on getting an Edge-u-cation sheet. The Manix 2 was introduced... maybe 2008-2009 ish. It seemed to be just coming out when I started paying attention.

Re: New Knife....What's in the box?
1. A knife, in either a folded over plastic baggie, a sealed plastic baggie (usually Taichung), and maybe sometimes a bubble baggie?
2. A thin piece of foam.
3. Variously: nothing, or folded printed edge-u-cation sheet, or glossy full-color pamphlet.
As long as #1's in there I'm happy!

Let's hope not. I'll keep you posted. :eek:aesmith wrote:True in theory, but there are reports of normal locking folders being seized as "gravity knives".

Ok, that sounds familiar but the box isn't handy so I can't check.dubya3 wrote:kennethsime wrote:This.Brock O Lee wrote:The pattern I see is that most regular production models do not come with paperwork, but most sprints do. There are exceptions.
