Manix 2 LW - What color would you want?

[hudsonhawk]

I have been EDCing my translucent blue Manix 2 LW daily now for quite a while. It has become one of my most favorite knives. One of my favorite things about this knife is the translucent FRCP. In my humble opinion, this material is one of the most innovative knife materials out there, and has almost unlimited potential and applications for future models. I also started playing around with the colors to see what else looked good. I thought it would be fun to take an informal poll and see what color or colors you guys would like to see next. Maybe someone will be listening :D
*These models obviously don't exist yet but easily could.

**I would be extremely remiss if I did not give credit to MarcusH on this forum. He posted some excellent photos of his Manix 2 LW in 2012 and posted an image of his "toxic green" version, which sparked my creativity. Wonderful pics MarcusH, your photoshop skills are much better than mine.




Due to the multiple mentions of pink and clear, I've added them to the choices.

I could do without any colors, but I would love to see the clear that the prototype originally debuted as. That would be awesome.

+1 David, clear would be so cool, seeing all the inner works would be pretty slick.

I also constantly carry my trans blue and LOVE it!
I have a combo edge with the clear lock buttons and this knife amazes me every day!
I'd love a red or clear version. Either would be super cool!

I would like to see clear as well. That proto looked awesome. Other than that I'll take a marroon (not translucent) version in S90V to match my new forum Native5. :)

Aren't the lw models pinned? How would that work?

Smoky clear, if that is a color

Concur- the clear prototype was special

Dark blue with s110v is all I need :)

Yes, they are pinned. I'm not sure I understand your question though.

I agree that the clear model was sweet. Very interesting to look at and show off the CBBL. I'd love to see that as a sprint at least.

[Henry - get both]

Solid orange... 4v or some other steel I don't have.

I believe the question was for future colored variations, not scale swaps, etc.

[Ruarch]

More models in this handle material would be cool.

I would like to see a pink for breast cancer (save the breasts! And yes I plan on buying and carrying a pink N5 when they are released, if anything to spark a conversation.)

Another idea would be multi color. Green and gold maybe? Just because I am a Packer fan.

OK, thought it was scale swaps. I could go for red scales and a black blade.

Another vote for clear, preferably with 110v, even though that would conflict with the official dark blue theme.

[hudsonhawk]

Pink and Clear would both be great colors. Clear especially would be cool. I have always loved being able to see how things function and the CBBL is definitely something to show off. I just added my versions of pink and clear to the initial post. My clear is not as crystal clear as the original proto from Spyderco but I'm only working with software after all :)

[tvenuto]

Cool idea. I like the clear. Although the red and green are interesting too. Reminds me of lifesavers.

[BTG]

No, please....save me from myself....I'd feel I needed one of each !!

Clear Scales-Clear Cage-Deep Carry Wire Clip-S125V-Sprint Run :eek:

[hudsonhawk]

It's interesting you mention clear cages. I like the option to have different colored cages too, and I thought that the clear cages were good choices for some models, while the black cages fit better with others. However, it seems that Spyderco has turned their production models to all black cages recently, however I could be wrong. The translucent blue Manix has definitely seen a production change from clear to black in it's cage, as evidenced by my model which was purchased this year.
It would be cool to see different colored cages on sprints in the future too.
