the Manix2 in foliage green with XHP . I have seen a flat grind and one that is like a hollow sabre grind. Why are there two blade profiles.
Thanks

Re: Manix 2 with CTS-XHP
Is one a LW? I think all the LW models are FFG. The G 10 knives are sabre grind sometimes. There’s at least one exclusive from Fraden lock that is sabre grind I believe. I bet a Manix 2 collector on the forum knows for sure.

Re: Manix 2 with CTS-XHP
The Foliage Green G10 came out as a sprint run in 2010 . This sprint run was broke up into two batches , early and late summer . I can only speculate that the early batch may have been the hollow ground and the second batch released was full flat grind . There has only been an exclusive in this steel by KC as a Brown lwt. In limited numbers . If I am incorrect , I apologize.MG2

“The Foliage Green Manix2 FFG with CTS-XHP is a limited production run of 1000 pieces. The first batch has started shipping through our normal distribution network. The photo is a production prototype and shows a hollow-ground blade, but these are flat-ground.”
