Re: Prospects for more Manix 2 backlocks?
Feeling exactly wat you said.
I was hoping for a backlock manix and i was so glad spyderco did this for all our members on this forum.
But the manix i my mind is a bit different then the one they made.
I tought they would make an exact copie of the original manix but then with an updated backlock.
Now i do not know what to do buy it and love it for the reason spyderco made it for us.
Or let it be because it just isnt what i expected.. really confused about this one
Re: Prospects for more Manix 2 backlocks?
Like a massdrop exclusive? Not sure exactly how massdrop works, but I think people could start up a survey there to feel out opinions on a color/steel/scale material.awa54 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 6:05 amThe Flash batch concept might be a possible venue for a Manix LB revival... At as few as 250 pieces that would undoubtedly sell through even if the only exposure it got was through the forum.
If this happened I'd think there would have to be fairly strong consensus on what steel and color would be popular. Translucent red and DLC 4V anyone? :D

Yep, BHQ is definitely our best hope for an exclusive since they know they can sell out any model. If everyone emails them and lets them know how much you want this we might be able to convince them. But that requires us all to send them an email!! :D
Please send an email kindly requesting a Jade DLC M4 Manix Backlock exclusive to Info@bladehq.com
My one suggestion is that any future exclusive have the aggressive Peel Ply texture rather than the smoother G10 the base version had.

Awesome! I have sent a follow up email as well since my original request for this was back in May. I also asked them to do a DLC SE Dodo follow up to their upcoming Satin PE Dodo. :D

Mind if I start a new thread just on this email to BHQ idea? Or you can, if you'd rather. I think more people will see it that way.steelcity16 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 2:06 pmSpydergirl88 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 9:51 amIf bladehq does a run of any spydie it will sell out.
