Composite Manix?
Composite Manix?
Does anyone know if this release has been scrapped?
I seem to remember reading about it quite a while ago
but not much since. Thanks for any updates.

Hi, jdw:
Thank you for your interest. It hasn't been scrapped. Our current ETA is early 2017.

It sounds like a great knife to me. I am excited that
there is still going to be a release.

Re: Composite Manix?
This is one I've been excited about too, I really wanted to pick up the earlier version (solid S90V blade?) on the secondary market but they don't pop up very often and when they do they command quit the premium.jdw wrote:A 90V core layered with 154 and carbon handles.Jazz wrote:What exactly was this again?

It's important to note, the upcoming C101CFPE2 Manix 2 with CPM 154/CPM S90V is not cladded or laminated. The process is different. It is a composite.

I was under the impression that S90V is very stain resistant, at least in my experience it is, but is that still the reason for the cladding? Why would Spyderco clad S90V? I am puzzled and curious. I am sure there is a good explanation, but it escapes me.
Not many, if any, manufactures can work with this material. Some might be able to, but choose not to. It's definitely not easy and it presented many challenges in the factory. The explanation as to "why?" truthfully just comes down to - because we can. We're proud of that. Ultimately, it gives all of you the opportunity to try something that is really special and that opportunity comes in a reasonably affordable production knife.

Re: Composite Manix?
I can't begin to envision what a composite steel is if it doesn't involve cladding/laminating... But as a Manix devotee, I'm standing by.

Re: Composite Manix?
Got to see one at the SFO Friday, one was given to the 1st person in line at the 2nds sale...3 dudes drove up 12 hrs from Oklahoma and got there about 5 in the morning Friday..they drew straws to see who got to be 1st, 2nd thru 6th got M2 BD1 lightweights.....guess who was #7.....yup, me....10:30, 11:00ish..great time, warmer than last year.
Re: Composite Manix?
From what I remember of the discussion of this steel, it is a S90V core HIPed with powdered 154CM.
Hot Isostatic Pressing combines temperature and pressure to uniformly bond different materials. The process also prohibits the formation of voids.
And yeah, it's just cool.
Since a S110V Yojimbo 2 doesn't seem likely, can we get a composite S90V version?

I arrived at 1:00pm and was #9, so I got in on the photo but not thy the free knives.BTG wrote:Got to see one at the SFO Friday, one was given to the 1st person in line at the 2nds sale...3 dudes drove up 12 hrs from Oklahoma and got there about 5 in the morning Friday..they drew straws to see who got to be 1st, 2nd thru 6th got M2 BD1 lightweights.....guess who was #7.....yup, me....10:30, 11:00ish..great time, warmer than last year.
As for the composite Manix, the steel looked the same as the previous S90V/154 Para 2. So even though the process is different, if I recall correctly, it still has a line that looks like a lamination line.
Re: Composite Manix?
Yeah, it was kinda weird...fainter, like the two are closer in color than usuall, line seemed real high and irregular on one side, wasn't sure if I was seeing it right or just from everyone handling it while checking it out.....I like your nightmare before Christmas hat..jabba359 wrote:I arrived at 1:00pm and was #9, so I got in on the photo but not thy the free knives.BTG wrote:Got to see one at the SFO Friday, one was given to the 1st person in line at the 2nds sale...3 dudes drove up 12 hrs from Oklahoma and got there about 5 in the morning Friday..they drew straws to see who got to be 1st, 2nd thru 6th got M2 BD1 lightweights.....guess who was #7.....yup, me....10:30, 11:00ish..great time, warmer than last year.
