[del] Sorry, I am post wrong :D :o
Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
I'm definitely into this one.
One of my guys is in love with orange stuff, so I'll probably gift him one.

A brown handled S90V M2 LW would probably go OK on BF or Ebay.

These are not easy blade swaps or I would be all over it. I already have the brown XHP and would love to do a swap.awa54 wrote:Blade swap time!bearfacedkiller wrote:I wish this was XHP....

Pinned/riveted construction doesn't allow you to take them apart....

Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
These are now LIVE!! A little more $ than I had hoped, but still ordered one!
Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
I'd think that could be an advantage, capturing the ball carrier and spring in the handle while the blade is out, but visualizing how something might work and actually *doing* it are often much different.91bravo wrote:Pinned/riveted construction doesn't allow you to take them apart....

I think this is a bit steep for a LW in S90V, but that is my opinion. I love the color, though.

Darn, $30 more than the KC XHP Exclusive. S90V is fairly old fashioned, I'm surprised it's more expensive.

Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
I wasn't going to get et one but the picture cutlery shpppe posted made me reconsider. Then I saw the price and changed my mind again. I have a hard time paying that much for a lightweight, no matter the steel. Just a personal preference of mine.Doc Dan wrote:I think this is a bit steep for a LW in S90V, but that is my opinion.

Its the same price as the S110v.
I know s110v is a higher end steel but in practicality just by a margin.
I love the orange FRN so i bought 2.

Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
It seems to me as though selling an exclusive in S90V for $3 more than the standard production S110V model is very reasonable. I cannot imagine that the cost to manufacture them is that different.

Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
I thought it over and ordered one too. I've really enjoyed CS and Jeff over the years. I figured I'd give him some business and deep down I really want this one.
Re: CS Exclusive Orange Manix 2 LW..
I'm admittedly a sucker for Manix2 LW variations, so I've been waiting for this one a long time. I'm a little less excited about S90v, but historically I've been able to get a more aggressive edge on it than S110v... though maybe that's all in my head. Regardless, I can't wait for this one to show up in the mail.
M4 DLC with orange next time please!
Also, lets see more black wire clips right?

So sell me on orange knives...I am not a "tactical Ted" but safety orange on a knife just makes my inner ninja unhappy.
