Manix2 Backlock!
Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Was the original Manix made in Golden?
Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Yes, according to the 2006 catalog.TomAiello wrote:Was the original Manix made in Golden?

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
I hope they bring the backlock back to the Manix XL as well!
Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Gotta admit I'm interested. Not sure if I'll get one but I'll keep an eye on it

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Can someone run down the advantages of the backlock over the CBBL?
I'm a giant fan of the CBBL for ease of use, quick open/close and ambidexterity (the biggest reason I prefer CBBL to comp lock). I realize ambidexterity is there with the backlock too, but what are the other advantages? Is it stronger?

- Stronger self close. They stay shut better than any other lock type, which is an important feature for me. I only carry lock types with a self close (lock back, ball lock, szabo folder comp lock).
- Easier one handed closing. This will be subjective obviously, but I have over a decade of back lock one handed closing muscle memory and about 6 months worth with the ball lock. With a backlock I can put my index finger in the spyderhole while I depress the lock release with my thumb, then swing the blade shut with my index finger. The ball lock I release, tap the blade about 1/3 closed, then have to adjust my grip to finish closing it. Slightly less intuitive.
Pretty minor things for me, I can make either lock work and in fact have a Manix 2 LW IWB as I type this. I have a slight preference for th ebacklock, but the ball lock is very good.
Re: Manix2 Backlock!
The one handed closing definitely works better for me with CBBL. I think, as you said, it's probably just a matter of comfort/experience. But I can open/close my CBBL unconsciously and very quickly at this point.
Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Whoa, didn't see this one coming at all. I've never picked up a Manix 2 and wished it was thicker. I have, however, wished it didn't have jimped liners, so this solves that.
Unless this somehow comes in SE I can't really see buying it.

Yes please. Orange or yellow G10 on this model, and I would love both PE and SE options if we are dreaming.ThePeacent wrote:the ultimate hard use, water proof folder :rolleyes:wrdwrght wrote:An LC200N Manix backlock would be a marvel.

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
3V or 4V would be nice. K390 might be, but I will wait till I get my Urban in a day or so and try it out before I can say for certain.

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
What are the chances that there will be an all black DLC version of this model?

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
I guesss we'll have to consult our crystal ball on that :) If it sells well initially i think there's potential/chance for variations!wolfgaze wrote:What are the chances that there will be an all black DLC version of this model?

Re: Manix2 Backlock!
Is there an ETA on this? 2017, or 2018?
