For me personally the Manix family outclasses even the oh so prayed up on pm2 for day to day use.
Count in that the knife is far more amidextrous then the military family and you can only call it a master piece.
Now let us hope that Eric doesnt keep al the 15V's under his own Christmas tree...
Which other Spydercos give you tip access like the Manix?

What we really NEED is a back lock G10 and Light Weight (especially) with the same blade stock as the current M2. I could get rid of everything else for these. Linerless, of course.

Re: Which other Spydercos give you tip access like the Manix?
So many others and myself tried to get the backlock back so many times. Maybe if you could get JD to praise it we could have a chance but otherwise Sal does not listen to us on that subject.
And we all remember that backlock they brought back that was not a succes because it was not wat people where asking for… ( I still do not want that one anywhere near my collection )
So Not to be pessimistic here but the words Manix and back lock probably makes people in spyderco shiver of fear…

Never a fan of fixed blade because of where i live but that one would be enough to get me to buy one.benben wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 7:45 amYou're welcome sir!apollo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 6:37 amThx benben!

I'll throw a Christmas wish out there.....I'd love to see the Manix 2 (or the XL) in a fixed blade! Same blade shape, same size (maybe an inch longer) in a great workhorse tool steel. G-10 or Micarta, doesn't matter! I'd definitely buy one or two.
Also on my wishlist would be an XL in house sprint and to see that Ti framelock Manix from the spyderco meet 2016 get in to production. I held that thing and it was amazing!

Re: Which other Spydercos give you tip access like the Manix?
Someone posted this in the Leafjumper thread, and man I’ve got to say: this might be the best answer to my question I’ve seen yet. I hope the handle is big enough for me.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
