Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
CPM REX 45 has been the most elusive blade steel (for me and I'm sure plenty other people). I see the Manix 2 as an opportunity to spread some more of this fabled steel to Spyderco fans; the first 3 models released are overpriced on the secondary market, and many aren't willing to pay $300 for a PM2. Also, I believe the Manix looks great with orange scales. Burnt orange is pleasing on the HAP40 models I own, and treasure.
On a side note, if not on the Manix than perhaps the new bombshell Military 2?..

Hahaha you and your perfect color combination suggestions. This combo would take my money so quickly!steelcity16 wrote: Translucent Burnt Orange FRCP Manix LW with DLC Rex45...please :D
Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
Really hoping for a LW FRN version. REX45 has been awesome, only eclipsed by K390 for me.
Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
Manix is the model I'm holding out for to get the Rex45 treatment...just hopefully no time soon. I've got a few great knives recently (St Nicks Shaman, 204P Military and a Cruwear Shaman in the mail!) Waaaaaaaaaay over my knife budget the past month or so. But yes, I'd like the burnt orange with G10. I have the LW model in BD1 and find those scales a little slippery.

Yes please! Textured G10 scales for me. Burnt orange or anything besides black.

I’m def in
Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
I'd be in for that. I have an M4 Manix, but I'd grab a REX45 as well.
Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
I've been waiting patiently for the Rex 45 Manix, and it's the natural next choice in the Rex 45 line. I've regretted selling my M4 Manix, so this would be nice to fill the void.
Have: old S30V Native, HAP40 Endura, ZDP DF2, S110V Manix LW, Cru-wear Para 3, SE H1 DF2, S90V Native 5, K390 Urban, SE Pac Salt, P.I.T.S., XHP Manix LW, SB Caly 3, B70P, PMA11, K03, Kapara, REX 45 Military, 154CM Manix LW, Swick, AEB-L Urban, KC Cruwear Manix, M390 PM2, Mantra 2, CruCarta Shaman, M390 Manix, K390 Police 4, S90V Manix LW, Rex 45 Manix LW, 20CV Manix, Rex 45 Lil’Native, Shaman, C208GP, Cruwear Manix, Cruwear Manix, M4 Chief, Z-max!!!

I think LW FRCP Burnt Orange would look really cool, especially next to the HAP40 siblings from Seki, Japan.

Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
This would be an insta-Buy for me. The Manix 2 is my favorite knife. I’m chasing different steels as well, and I do not own a knife with REX 45. I’m watching for the Shaman rosewood/REX45, but I would prefer a Manix 2 rosewood/REX45.
Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
If I was gonna buy another Manix 2, then yeah. But I've got a couple right now that have a lot more service in them before they need replacement.

Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
This was my only real wish, for 2019. A Manix 2 in Rex 45, and I'd sure be happy with Burnt Orange G10 as well. That only seems right, now.
I talked to Mr Gesser last Fall about this very thing. He said they did have enough of the Burnt Orange G10, and Rex 45 left. To make another run of something. They just had not decided at the time, on which model yet.
My guess is now, with hindsight. That those sheets of Rex 45, were too thick to be used for a Manix 2. I suppose that material went to, or is going to, a Shaman run. (Shaman, Military, PM 2, Para 3, all using the same sheet stock) But that doesn't mean Sal or Eric won't order in some more, for a Manix 2, for the Win! :spyder:
I also am hoping for a run with K390 as well. The Manix 2 has been lagging a bit, in the new steel department.
Is Sal hiding, or saving all of the good stuff, for his knife designs? :D

Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
Well, if they need to order more rex45 for a manix run anyhow, might as well make a big order and throw a rex45 para3 lw in there as well!

Re: Interest in Manix 2 with CPM REX45
I was just thinking today I need a tough lightweight. I'd be ok with Rex 45 or k390
