Carlos, I usually deal in customs, but this just looked like a must have! Indulge an old man until mine comes! Any pic or specs?

How does it compare size wise to the Chinook?

It is a hair bigger. Probably because of how the butt of the handle is shaped. The blade seems smaller, but it is a functional leaf shape. Kind of like a folding Chef's knife.

Manix just came, being into customs, this knife amazes me, never seen a lockback open & close this easy, hardly any effort required! Blade is like a razor and overall feel of the knife is very comfortable with no hot spots! Fit and finish and near perfect! Carlos & Mick Dundee were right!!!

Can someone take some pics? I've seen the catalog pic, but would like to see some from different angles.

Shootist16 is right.
Being the first to get the latest and greatest from Spyderco and
NOT posting pics should be considered an international crime! :mad: :eek:
The fine/punishment is that you need to put the knife up for a raffle immediatly!
So Carlos, you know what to do! :p

Well, I kinda like the leaf-shaped blade.. Liners, G-10 scales and a back-lock.. Will add this one to my "want-list".. At least I can look forward to 2005! Think it'll be a great year.. :D
