Very tempted by this one. Might not do it, just moved across country and I absolutely have to have the 15v sprint so I really shouldn’t buy another but…. 😭

Dang, I heard rumor of a different model getting this treatment next.

Good for you though Vivi! You never really warmed up to the Chief in 4V did you? Unless I missed it.

I ended up selling it. Decided three Chief users were enough considering how rarely I carry them these days. Love the design still but just have other knives I prefer.

I think I've been too naughty for St. Nick to bring me this this year :-||

Happy for those who get it though!

Gotta keep the SNK collection going. So I'll be in for this one too. Not sure I'll carry a Manix XL much but what the heck

Wow, it would be my first and only XL, but there will not be enough and no knife is worth the frustration, to me at least. Good luck everyone.

The XL just didn't like my hands so this will be an easy no thank you.

If I had not just got the PM2 Crucarta and waiting for the Manix 15v I would probably buy this. The Military could be pretty cool too.

How does 4v compare to Cruwear? They have similar properties but I did not know how they compared in real world use.

Nice!

The St. Nick’s Knives Exclusive Manix2 XL with DLC-coated CPM-4V and Red G-10 will sell out fast since only about 725 were produced and they’re priced at just $185 (the regular production Manix2 XL with DLC-coated CPM-S30V and Black G-10 has a street price of $204.05)!
