Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Why no wire clip on this model?
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
So far, only the Manix 2 Lightweight models have had wire clips. Manix 2 models with g10 or carbon fiber do not have a wire clip.

I just sent you an email . . . .
I agree about the rust. Cruwear and Rex 45 have both surprised me on corrosion resistance, At least out west.semfi1345 wrote:I came here seeing if anyone knew a hypothetical release time for these so I appreciate the link!Extra330SC wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 11:08 amGood price .

I sold the smooth G10 PM2 I previously ordered from KC and regretted as soon as I dropped it off. The smooth G10 doesn't tear apart my jean pockets like peel ply does and I'm not looking to spend $300 on the shaman so this is perfect for me. I work as a Forester and I find that Cruwear doesn't rust near as easily as other tool steels in the woods.

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
All this talk about smooth G10 and Cruwear wore me down. I placed my order.
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
I ordered as well. I had been carrying my Para 3 in smooth G10 today, and it got me thinking wether or not this was available to purchase yet. Can’t pass up Cruwear for only $130, and I happen to really like the smooth G10. I just wish it was all black. I’m in the process of making my Para 3 hardware black(early stages :o ) , and it’s looking excellent with the smooth G10
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Mine just arrived and it's just as one would expect, perfection! This is my first Manix 2 and I was surprised by how buttery smooth the action is; can do the spydy-flick easily. I like the smooth G10 scales on the Manix 2 more than I did on the PM2.
SPY-27 and CPM-Cruwear are peak performance...for me.

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Fast shipping and great service from KC. The smooth G10 on the Para 3 has a bit more texture then the Manix 2 and Paramilitary 2. Now on with the Military :D

Good for you James! :D Very nice.
I'm still waiting, and am much closer to them, than you are.
I must not be living right . . . . :p

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
This forum is a bad influence! :o Had both of these guys in the mailbox when I got home today... :D
This is my first Manix 2 and I think the smooth G10 feels pretty good on this platform. Admittedly I have only had it out of the box for a few mins but with all the jimping on the liners it feels secure in my hand.

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Did anyone order multiples of this?
I ordered two, and KC shipped one and marked the other one as "back ordered". Is that there way of saying there is a limit of 1 per customer?

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
I ordered more than one and both were shipped. They seem to get several batches of their exclusives at 1-2 week intervals, so the second one will be along in a week or two.
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Would love to see a Cruwear FRN LW Manix 2 with deep carry wire clip in the future.

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
Received mine today, ordered friday afternoon, was shipped monday. I have the PM2 in Cruwear/smooth g10 and I am a fan of the handle material, maybe its just me but i feel the G10 on this Manix 2 feels smoother than the PM2. (I don't have the PM2 with me to compare in hand). Anyway, great steel on a great platform, looking forward to carrying it at work tomorrow and getting it dirty.
Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
After sitting on the fence about this knife for all of 3 days, I went to order it this past Saturday and it was already "sold out" Allowed me to order it and said it would ship in 5-7 days. I honestly didn't expect it sell out so quickly...hoping they get more in!

Re: Manix 2 Cruwear Smooth G10
The Manix is truly matte black. It has virtually no reflectiveness. Here's the comparison of the old smooth Native 5 to the new smooth Manix. I angled the shot to try to highlight the difference in reflectiveness at their most reflective in indirect sunlight:
Have: old S30V Native, HAP40 Endura, ZDP DF2, S110V Manix LW, Cru-wear Para 3, SE H1 DF2, S90V Native 5, K390 Urban, SE Pac Salt, P.I.T.S., XHP Manix LW, SB Caly 3, B70P, PMA11, K03, Kapara, REX 45 Military, 154CM Manix LW, Swick, AEB-L Urban, KC Cruwear Manix, M390 PM2, Mantra 2, CruCarta Shaman, M390 Manix, K390 Police 4, S90V Manix LW, Rex 45 Manix LW, 20CV Manix, Rex 45 Lil’Native, Shaman, C208GP, Cruwear Manix, Cruwear Manix, M4 Chief, Z-max!!!
Want: SPY27, K490, Swick 5.
