Would prefer Native LW but would take anything in Cruwear

Agreed, first preference is Native LW if I could only have one, but I would love to see both a Manix LW and Native LW in Cruwear drop at the same time (and soon!). I would definitely buy two Manix LWs and more than a few Native LWs. Grey FRN/FRCP is fine. DLC options would be preferred, but I would buy regardless. A stonewash finish like on the Maxamet LWs would be nice as well.

I want both the manix lw and the native. The native lw in cru wear is top though.

I’ve been dreaming about a Manix 2 Lightweight in Cruwear. I’d probably even buy two.

I remember you showing a photo of that a while ago. We still haven't seen it come to fruition yet or even heard mention of it from the mothership.

Had I a Cruwear Manix, I could do something similar. I was a dumb, though, so I didn't buy one (CF KC exclusive) when I had the chance. Same thing happened with the red DLT PM2... :(

Yeah, though I missed the Red DLT, managed to pick up a BBS on the secondary market for a really good price due to the edge being rolled in a few spots (which I fixed right up) !

That’s so cool. I’ve been planning to create a g10 Maxamet manix for a little bit. Hadn’t seen one yet. I have the gray kw exclusive now, and my Maxamet one in the mail now too. All I will still need is a regular G10 Manix.

Absolutely! DLC Cruwear in the Native LW and Manix LW are what my EDC dreams are made of!! Some dealer needs to get on the ball and make this happen for their next exclusives!

Another year gone and no CRUWEAR Manix Lightweight. I have been rotating between my Cruwear Delica and my BD-1 Manix LW mainly for the past few weeks. Both are great knives. But a Cruwear Manix LW would be outstanding! Hopefully it is coming soon. I am so surprised that we still haven't seen Cruwear Manix LWs and Native LWs. I would have much preferred those to be production with Maxamet as the sprint/exclusive rather than the other way around.

Cruwear is so highly praised, that it starts to interest me, but I'm just not the biggest Manix 2 fan...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Yeah, either a LW Manix 2 or a Native 5 would be awesome. I'd probably buy a couple of each.

Yes, but please replace the rivets with screws! I'm leery about buying a non stainless steel in a knife I can't take apart. Translucent smoke gray please.
