Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
I'm in doubt. I love rex 45 but 180 euros is a bit steep. I was under the impression that it would be a little lower..

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
A question to those of you who have the G10 Manix 2 in Rex 45 and at least one other Manix model (regardless if LW or G10):
The specs on Spydercos hompepage are for most Manixes (Manices?):
Blade: 3.37" (86mm); Edge 2.88" (73mm)
But for the Rex 45 Manix:
Blade: Again 3.37" (86mm), but EDGE: 2,95" (75mm)
Now call me crazy, but in THIS particular size category I am looking for each mm more that I can get in cutting edge.
Really not the most important thing in the world for me, but still something I value...
So: Can anyone confirm that the REX 45 Manix actually has a bit more edge than other Manixes?
(If so, on the flip side it should have a choil that is a tad shorter - actually that is the case with the Straight Spine Stretch 2 compared to the regular Stretch 2: About the same blade length, but the SS version has a bit less choil and a bit more cutting edge)

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
Those may be accurate numbers. It's hard to capture in pics, but the rex45 edge does appear to be 1 or 2mm longer than both my 52100 and my cruwear (although I guess sharpening could be the cause on mine, too).Wartstein wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 12:48 pmA question to those of you who have the G10 Manix 2 in Rex 45 and at least one other Manix model (regardless if LW or G10):

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
Hmm, that's weird. I just lined up my Cruwear, 20CV, 52100 and Rex45. Cutting edge, to the naked eye appears to be the same on all 4.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time and comparing / measuring your Manix´s ! (And even taking pics!) :)
I guess, differently to SS Stretch 2 vs regular Stretch 2, all the Manix models will generally have the same blade-, edge- and choil-length and the different specs are probably just measurment deviations...
As said, not a big deal anyway, but a longer edge (even by just 2mm) would ONE of many factors I´d consider when deciding between different Manix variants.

Attila's precise measurements should definitely be trusted over my eyeballing!

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
They are more than precise! :)
Still, the Manix measurements given in the catalogue or reveal are interesting generally (though this is not relevant in a practical sense at all):
The blade length seems to be always the same, while the edge length varies by 1 or 2 mm (for example reveal 4, Rex 45 Manix LW vs G10) - which should consequently mean that the blade part of the choils is are of the exact same length in every model.

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
At the time, nothing to contribute :p
But I did look at my M4 and XHP models, and they are very close to same. XHP has been sharpened more, so a bit shorter.

Yes, a 138% markup is vaguely annoying. Lol. Yet some on here will defend their business model tooth and nail. :confused:

Re: Manix 2 rex45 g10 model
What the heck I just did......
Yesterday I was browsing knivesandtools and they had REX 45 Manix still in stock.....a bit more expensive then I saw on other european shops, but somehow my brain just stopped working and I ordered one......I guess this is my Spyderco folder purchase for this year.

Congrats!! :)
So you did what I was very, very close to...
I am sure this must be a great knife, I myself did not pull the trigger in the end solely cause I am trying to focus on SE blades
But, to be honest: I am already thinking of getting the Manix LW (which does NOT come in SE...) - REX 45 (when it comes out finally) or in translucent blue and the "new" steel CTS BD1 N (I had the black one one in CTS BD1, and like it at lot) :rolleyes:
