Manix getting some love! I love it! One of my favorite worker's. And one of Spyderco's best in my IMHO.

Okay…I’m starting to think that I eventually need to give a manix a try. There has been a backlock version for sale on a second hand website, within reasonable shipping distance, but the price seems a bit high and it’s been listed for a very long time.

What would the general Consensus be for pricing on a used (I.e. not collector nib) backlock manix be?

Or do I just go for the LW in SPY27?

It depends is it the original Manix or Mini Manix with full steel liners or the Manix 2 backlock without liners? The originals can get a bit more pricy since the are discontinued a very very long time ago. ( If they are in good condition ) The manix 2 variant i can not speak about since i do not own one.

Yes for quite sometime. I befriended some wonderful Mexican ladies when I worked at Precision Planting who had nowhere to grow peppers . I would grow them and they would bring in homemade Salsa . I have a few more to plant . I dehydrate the Tabasco and blend it to make a seasoning powder . I hope to have a small batch of peppers made into a jelly this year . Dan

Just assembled this one.
Flytanium brass scales and titanium blue lock cage.
The Scales did not fit over the lanyard hole so that was a disappointment needed to file them little by little to make a perfect fit. Wish spyderco would open a factory in Belgium i would apply for a job in a heart beat. 😎 My brother would to i guess 😝

They look nice , but have read in past about issues with the lanyard hole . I have been hoping to see a lightweight screw construction in the future and hopefully some after market Micarta scales will come out . How do you like the blue lock cage , is it an improvement ? Dan

The lockback models can bring some hefty prices , especially the Sprints . Since you don’t have one and want to try one out I would suggest a new lightweight model . The model you suggested would be an excellent entry in SPY27. Actually plan to get one sometime this Summer and then wait for the Magnacut release in the future . MG2

The lock is very nice and grippy. I also have a ti green cage on one my XL’s.
For so for they lock up as good as the production cages so no complaints there.
About the scales i did not hear anything about problems but in this case it was not so bad a few strokes with a round file and they popped in like the g10 ones but i do wished that they would fit without me having to file them down because if you take away a little to much then you would have a problem i guess. Are they really going to make the lw screw based? That would be good news anybody knows if the blades would be swappeble with the g10 versions then? 😎 Micarta would be nice for now i have one manix left to customize and im thinking about cf for that one. 😁

As far as I know the black handle model is slowly coming out with screw construction. It’s one reason why I have been reluctant getting another lightweight. A screw construction will give one many options selecting scales in the future. The problem you had is what I have read about and tube rattle . Glad it worked out for you . Dan
