M64 is the best spydie nickname I've seen on here since Shaboy lolawa54 wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 9:10 pmBdubs808 wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 3:41 amDid anyone mention those scales also resemble the N64?

I'll always think of this knife as the M64 now

Thanks for the explanation, David. I have been convinced by a couple of forumites to add a M2LW to my collection. I was seriously considering the SPY27 version till i saw this thread. The price of the KnifeJoker traslucent 20cv + shippment + taxes and import duties when it enters the custom territory of the European Union is similar to the price of a SPY27 version acquired at one of the European online stores. 3 euros (4.60 USD) higher to be precise.
I think I'll go for the SPY27 because I already have a 20cv blade in my collection.
As to ZDP 189, it is out of my radar screen, poor (or lower) corrosion resistance is a game stopper for me. :D
I also want to try SPY27, I had been hoping to kill two birds with one stone and get the Mule, but it was insta-gone.
I suppose I could get *another* M2LW (I do really like the color), but then I'd have four, on top of uh... "several" G10 M2s!

Ain't that the truth! I'm probably gonna have to impose a period of being happy with what I have before the end of this month.Abyss_Fish wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 10:59 pmIf there was ever proof that this forum is a detriment to my financial well being,

You wore me down, I’m in!
Couldn’t hold off any longer — this’ll be my first Manix LW. I own the XL and it’s honestly bigger than my use really needs so I never carry it. A backlock Manix was still bulkier than I prefer for EDC and became my dad’s work knife as a handyman. This steel and handle in the lightweight model look really good, I think I’ll finally have a Manix fit for my use.

Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
Best packed knife EVER!
And a fantastic M2LW as well, super sharp out of the box with excellent lock and pivot action.
It's also my first translucent FRN/FRCP knife, IMO the "mint with a hint of blue" is a great color.

Based solely off the pictures I've seen, it looks teal to me. Seeing it in the flesh will be great!

Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
Loving mine! On top of all the characteristics that make the Manix a great user, mine came centered and with a nearly drop shutty action and no discernable blade play. And those translucent mystic green handles are just so neat and fun :D
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
I really like this one. It's a keeper for sure.
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
LynchNW deep carry clip just came in. Very nice; always been impressed by Casey's products.
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
I like that clip. I may have to get one, I like deep carry so the knife is less visible in the Office.

Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
I’m planning on doing something similar. How did you get that screw off, and then on again tight? I’ve had two lw manixes (manixs’? Manai?) and I had trouble with the clip screw on both.

Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
According to the shipping number mine is now in Canada? Hope it's just a detour for sightseeing and not a mistake by anyone. All these very positive reprots make me a little impatient, and it does not help to see, that the direction it takes, is not the right one...
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
The male screw came out just fine. The female (domed, no torx head) has a flat side that keys into the FRN to prevent rotation, and it was in there tight. I knocked it out with a punch.Abyss_Fish wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 12:34 pmI’m planning on doing something similar. How did you get that screw off, and then on again tight?

Go really light with the punch and if possible use a nylon one instead of steel; you don't want to ding the female side and then have trouble getting the male to fit back into it.
No issues putting it back together after that!
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
I was looking at a more colorful one, but then I decided that the scales were colorful enough on this model, hah.
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
^The decision I need to make is whether or not to install on the Manix, or my OG Slysz Bowie. Might have to buy a second one if the vibe is right.
Re: KnifeJoker translucent manix2 lw
Mine is supposed to arrive on Friday, I can't wait. I think I will have to get one of those deep carry clips for it too.
