Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
I have a chopper in S7 and it's amazing. I can chop through multiple logs and still shave.ferider wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 3:33 pmActually CPM M4 (not M4) - at least on paper - is quite tough, comparable to Cru-Wear, for example. If somebody would want to trade his M4 Mule against my 4V Mule, I just might say yes :)BravoTango wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 11:12 amOr 4v... Honestly. Rex45/m4 and 3v/4v would probably be must buys. But I'd definitely prefer Rex45/M4 by a huge Longshot, in what situation would the need for toughness of 3v/4v even surpass the advantage of hardness/wear resistance of the other mentioned steels?
WRT toughness, even CPM-s90v is not so bad, so for the time being, I'm quite happy with my CF Manix XL. I had a hard time choosing between CPM M4 and M390 in the poll (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=81058), but finally I picked M390 since it would give me something I feel I don't have yet.

Haha, right tool for the job and all that. I'd hate S7 for a 3" blade folding knife.

What would you hate about S7 in a folder? Just curious. If it can still shave after chopping logs is that not enough wear resistance?

That's more a product of toughness than wear resistance.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 9:16 pm

S7 at 15 degrees per side makes a great chopper, but a poor knife for slicing cardboard.
ZDP189 at 8 degrees per side makes a great knife for slicing cardboard, but not for chopping.

Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
Yes, this exactly!! :D A sprint of the ol’ big boy himself, complete with the Dino jimping! Sorry to chime in so late on this...Vivi wrote: ↑Tue Sep 11, 2018 7:31 amI'd like a C95 sprint, but it's a lot different than the Manix XL. 4mm blade VS 3mm, and the weight was another 1-1.5oz heavier.
I love both versions of the knife and would take either in a DLC sprint.
PS - Does it bother anyone else that we went from having a Manix & Mini Manix, to having a Manix XL & Manix? I still think the Mini Manix should be referred to as the mini, because it is a small knife. The XL is the true Manix IMO.
And yes, the nomenclature has always bugged me too, especially since the true “mini Manix” is the Native 5 (per the actual model histories).

+1! Orginal C95 Manix sprint with Dino Jimping and DLC Rex45, Cruwear, or 4V. Count me in!

Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
St. Nick's knives is a retailer with a para 3 coming out in 4v, I planted the seed with them that a M2XL would be great in a tough steel, see what happens.
:spyder: Ben,
The North Remembers.
Has (Always in flux): Shaman, Chef, Techno, M390 Para 3, Gayle Bradley 2, Manix 2 M4. Manix 2 XL, Blue Weave Domino, CF Chaparral, Vtoku2 Endura 4, D-Fly Salt Hawk SE.[/s].
Wants: Manix 2 XL CPM-M4 or 4V, Compression Lock, Tip-up Military, Yojimbo 2 XL.

Great call! Im super pumped for the Para 3. A Manix 2 XL would in 4V would be a legendary knife. 4V was second only to Cruwear in the poll as well, so there should be plenty of demand, especially with that great Red / DLC color scheme!

Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
You got me rubbing my hands together with drool forming in my mouth.
Re: Manix 2 XL in CPM-M4 or Rex-45
CPM-M4 would be my preference, but I would buy Rex 45, Cruwear, 52100, etc... So far I have bought every single one of them ever produced in a steel other than S30V (plus the S30V DLC model). That was easy, since there has only ever been a single one :confused:... the Knifeworks S90V carbon fiber exclusive -- a fantastic knife!
The important thing is that the Manix 2 XL is looong overdue for a sprint or exclusive. We've got to keep hope alive :p

K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

Oh gosh this would be great. DLC M4, K390, REX 45, 4V.... let's go
