Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
Thank you for posting about this knife's availability in CruWear!
Necromonger: What do you think of this blade?
Riddick: I think it is a half gram heavy on the back end.

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
I like it, may have to get one. I don’t like the smooth G10 though, so might need to look for some textured G10 scales.

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
Oh sweet lord! I was just thinking it’d be great to see an upgraded M2XL. Spyderco annihilates my wallet yet again, and I love them for it!
Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
This month (February) I won't buy any folder !
I need to hold, hooooold !

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
I´d really like to try an XL, must be a great knife.
So spontanously I tried to order one from knife center - but, well, here´s what they say...
"Due to the EU and UK's onerous VAT tax filing and remittance requirements, we are unable to process any orders under $200 USD. We apologize for this inconvenience."
Now shipping already included the price is just $ 191.98 (WITH taxes and tariffs it would be more like 260 or something when the knife arrived here).
Sure, I could add another small item to the basket to get over the 200 USD treshold, but somehow I just don´t feel like doing so.
Probably just get an S30V version here in Europe eventually. Fine with me too!

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
Ordered. I'm a Cruwear believer and I believe this will be the end-all/be-all knife for me. I love the smooth G10 KC exclusives, so this works out perfectly.
SPY-27 and CPM-Cruwear are peak performance...for me.
Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
this isn't a sell out in minutes kind of knife, but i don't think it will be there for a month for all you guys waiting it out. i'm tempted to get one as an outdoor knife, but i really don't need it, so i'm going to hold off.
wartstein, maybe someone in the states could order it for you and ship it to you, or would that not alleviate the problem? i don't really understand how it works overseas. if i was traveling to germany again any time soon, i'd buy one and bring it with me and just meet up with you, but i'm not traveling overseas any time soon.

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
I gotta get one of these. The Manix 2 XL was the one that got me started in this hobby. It was supposed to be the *only* one. So much for that idea.
For years, aside from the regular production model, this knife only had a single short lived limited run in s90v. More dealer exclusive variants finally started coming in the last 2-3 years.
I agree that cruwear is an ideal steel for it in theory at least; with good toughness for a big, hard-use folder. Also, while it isn’t a stainless steel, it is probably as close as it can be. Cruwear is downright difficult to patina as you can see here: https://nemoknivesreview.com/2018/09/24 ... -that-easy
Don’t wait too long! Manix 2 XL exclusives/sprint runs are still few and far between.

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
Pulled the trigger. Broker than a joker now. Ah well, it’s a sweet knife that I would have regretted missing out on.
Also, my confirmation email from KC had a bunch of broken images in it. That doesn’t exactly inspire confidence…

Re: KnifeCenter Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Smooth G10
Even with my love of Cruwear I've passed on all these KC exclusives due to hating the smooth G10. This one is making me reconsider.
