Wow, the good news keeps on coming! I hope we see a lightweight version too!

Sounds cool! I love contoured handlesEvil D wrote:I'm hoping these scales are super simple to make. If so I plan on having some made that are 2x as thick so I can contour the handles down really nice. It's gonna rock.
Oh wow, that's much sooner than I expected. Just picked up a Manix XL and Manix LW in the past two months, already got quite the family goin!Popsickle wrote:Eric said in the video march/April latest as they were finishing them up when he left for the Amsterdam show.Vivi wrote:Is there an ETA on this? 2017, or 2018?
I'm interested to see the thickness comparison of the handles
I had quite the manix 2 collection years ago, but have since thinned my collection. I was thinking of adding another manix 2, but now ill wait for the back lock!Vivi wrote:Oh wow, that's much sooner than I expected.

Only way to make that happen is to vote with our walletsnicked.onaut wrote:Glad to see no Boye detent with this one.
I'm in, and hope for sales good enough to justify runs with other steels.
Totally agree!!!Joris Mo wrote:Let's hope this becomes a big vote so there might be some more models with backlock or powerlock made.

Quite often when running or doing other quite physical stuff outside I only want to carry backlocks, preferably FRN for weight, since they hardly ever open up when they fall out of your pocket.. I've had a lot of other locks fall on the floor at home or on the street/grass outside, bounce and land halfway or all the way opened up. This never happened to me with backlocks so I have since tried this quite a lot with different user blades and it's the backlocks that hardly ever open up "by themselves".
(the action of a backlock is offcourse pulling the knife closed even when slightly opened instead of just being a detent at one point)
Hope this one is becoming available soon, trip planned in May, might be able to bring it. :)
Let's hope March/April will be made! I figured then I could probably bring it to Spain in May.. The Spydiemeet one looked like a production version, let's hope there will be a lot of them someday soon.Popsickle wrote:Totally agree!!!Joris Mo wrote:Let's hope this becomes a big vote so there might be some more models with backlock or powerlock made.
