Post by Red »

Came a day early! This bad boy is EXACTLY what I wanted in an edc. I also carry the Dragon Fly daily so the more the better! This is a beast. For a comparison pic, Have the Manix XL over the Manix 2 over the PM2 over the Dragon Fly. Love it👍

Nice score :D
It's not like I need them in the office, but sometimes you just want a big blade and the XL is a great option for those days!

Buddy was at the shop and comparing my Manix 2 to the new Manix XL. He asked me “why do you need the bigger blade?” I just said “because it makes me smile more than the smaller one.”😄👍

I always enjoyed my Manix 2. When I saw blade hq did a run of jade/m4 manix 2 xls I knew it was a sign to finally take the plunge and get an XL and I'm so happy I did. It's pretty amazing! I love it!

That sounds really cool, any photos of that one? I really like my Manix 2, but this Manix XL is just awesome. I am a big guy so it fits the hand perfect, like a worn in pair of boots. I love my PM2’s and Military’s but the Manix line is just “it” for me.

I still keep hoping for a backlock version and a lightweight version.

Nice score on a great knife, BTW.

Did some oiling and adjusting on the crooked river, and the Shaman is out because it's all I've been carrying basically! Love that Shaman....

Sounds like a question asked by a guy with a tiny... blade.
