also, i definitely don't want that nasty translucent yellow scales that people keep posting. i don't really care for the translucent scales to begin with, but some colors make it so much worse. i've never not purchased a knife because of it's color before, but i might have to pass that up.

if that's the color of your urine, you need to drink some water.

Been hoping for a Manix2 LW Salt for years, Magnacut would make it even more exiting!
Same, a Salt LW Manix makes so much sense that I can only assume it hasn't been done because of material limitations. Maybe the type of steel used for springs doesn't hold up in saline environments?
i would absolutely purchase a magnacut manix with frcp/frn and a backlock as long as it had a standard manix blade shape and thickness. basically, exactly like a native salt, but a manix.

i still would prefer a g10 manix over anything else though, even if it wasn't considered a salt.
I've always wanted a backlock Manix so I'd be stoked if they made a LW backlock M2 with MagnaCut. I wouldn't care if they called it a Salt but it would be a bonus if the hardware was corrosion resistant.

I agree lock back Manix would be awesome. MG2

I like it! Kinda reminds me of a series of action figures I loved back in the late 90's. Transformers Beast Wars Transmetal 1 & 2 if anyone remembers those.

Haha fellow BW collector here! does it remind you of Quickstrike? Technically it's not a Transmetal but a Fuzor, but the translucent yellow definitely reminds me of him!

I would like another G10 Minix 2 in my rotation. This would make me bite. Not interested in LW at this point.

I hoped and suspected there'd be a fellow Transformer aficionado on this forum! But even within that group, BW people are less common. Yeah, the Fuzor line up definitely had more translucent stuff going on. I was just thinking of the translucent "Spark Crystal" things they introduced with the Transmetals. Quickstrike is way more spot on! Makes me wish for a whole line up of translucent BW-inspired FRCP. Lavender ala Manterror? Red like Injector? It would be pretty sweet.

The inevitable request for a Manix2 XL Magnacut.

Some of that FAT CARBON FIBER: DARK MATTER COPPER or GOLD would make a nice handle.

Haha, now you're speaking my language! Grew up watching GeeWun in the 80's, but really only started collecting in the BW line, mostly Maximals, ever since I fell in love with the 90'S BW show and its deep storyline compared to G1. My TF collecting definitely tapered down these past recent years as knives took over. But I still do buy from time to time when I see something I like (and the recent G1 homages really are good stuff).

Oooh those FRCP BW crossovers you mentioned are sweet! The Manix LW would really make a perfect homage to Injector since the curves on the Manix eerily resembles the bulbous fish head/hornet Predacon.
