I just think this would make a nice offering, whether it was released as an exclusive, sprint or regular production model. To me there is a wide gap between the two steels used in the current production Manix LW's. I don't know if we are going to see any more rwl34 but if we did it seems that the Manix LW would be a ripe platform in which to introduce it.
-Disclaimer: I have never actually used any rwl34 and I am basing my suggestion on my familiarity with cpm-154.

I would like to see that as well. :)
Either RWL-34 or CPM 154.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I don't think Spyderco has ever used cpm154 on a production knife have they?
Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I has only been used for s90v clading in para2 and in future manix2...

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I would be interested in seeing this. I don't have a ManixLW and the current steel choices are the main reason. There is quite a gap between BD1 and S110V. I would love to see a Cruwear ManixLW.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I'd be up for either steel choice in a LW Manix. Even as a sprint it would really fill a gap between the two regular offerings.
Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I would like to see RWL34 in a thinner ground blade than on the Manix, personally, but it would be a fun option on anything.
Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I would be interested in this as well. I used to have an Anso custom in RWL34 (which I sadly had to sell in hard times) and it was an outstanding steel.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
YES to Cruwear, but RWL-34 or CPM-154 would be nice options, especially in an affordable model like the Manix LW

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I agree totally lance, we are due for another M2 LW, I've never tried RWL34 but would grab one for sure. I also want some more cruwear,
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
Yes, I completely agree. Most of my experience with cpm154 is in one of Phil Wilsons fillets and it is a great performer in a thin grind. Regarding the Manix, I almost mentioned Cruwear too. That would also make a good bridge for the existing gap. I would by either....or both.Cujobob wrote:I would like to see RWL34 in a thinner ground blade than on the Manix, personally, but it would be a fun option on anything.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
Cruwear has already been done in the Manix format and can still be found on the secondary market and I think the frcp would benefit more from a stainless steel. Either RWL34, CPM154 or Elmax would be great choices for me.

So it's confirmed then? Darn. I was hoping for something not that close to S110VJohnnie1801 wrote:

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
I cannot recall neither production or even any kind of limited runs with cpm154, not counting laminate with outer layer with cpm154.Surfingringo wrote:I don't think Spyderco has ever used cpm154 on a production knife have they?
I always wanted to try this steel, but I would rather have Native5, N5 LW or even para2 than Manix.

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
There is a local custom maker that works a lot in CPM154. I've had several of his small fixed blades for years now and it's a great all round steel. Thing is, kind of set with PM2's and Mil's in S110V which kind of drags me off topic relative to a nice LW Manix. Would a small to mid filet knife be too expensive in RWL34?

Re: Manix LW in RWL34?
The only thing I remember was last year they said that they were looking at what steel to use and were thinking to go with s90v. I don't remember ever seeing confirmation. I hope that they reconsidered that decision. S90v is no longer novel and the exact design exists in a production form in s110v...a steel which is extremely similar but is slightly superior in most every way. I'm not saying they won't sell, but a more interesting/less used steel that split the gap between BD1 and s110v would outsell s90v by a mile I believe.Spydergirl88 wrote:So it's confirmed then? Darn.
