Part of me wishes the G10 one would go on a diet and lose the aggressive jimping, but I'm sure die hard manix fans disagree

I like my Manix 2, but maybe is just overprised in Europe.
For example, the first knife is almost 10 times cheaper than Manix. It has worse blade steel, but there is really nothing to complain about the finish, everything works fine, there are no gaps or asymmetries on the knife.
The second knife is twice as cheap as the Manix, it is perfectly made, the steel is of a similar level to that of the Spyderc.
Third Manix2lw. Certainly the most usable, but lags behind in aesthetics and price.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder why we don't see that many variations/exclusives for the Manix 2 LW. It seems like the Manix 2 is a very popular model and making it lightweight only sweetens the deal. Shoot if DLT Trading released a Manix 2 LW in either OD Green or Tan FRN with s90v/Cruwear/or 20CV I would easily buy 2 or 3 of them! I love my lightweight models for when summer time rolls around and the Manix 2 is awesome, I just wish we could see more variations of it.
There was the Orange exclusive in s90v and a transluscent teal exclusive in 20cv. They are awesome. Also rex 45 sprint.

The best part about the manix is it is usually a great deal.

Is that the Fallkniven PCx?

If, so in the USA it is more expensive than the Manix 2 LW.

PCx ($144.99): https://www.dlttrading.com/fallkniven-pcx-folding-knife
Manix 2 LW ($127.40): https://www.dlttrading.com/spyderco-man ... ucent-blue

When I look for European prices at Lamnia, they are still pretty close, although the Fallkniven is now about $10 cheaper than the Manix.

PCx ($121.53): https://www.lamnia.com/en/p/18688/knive ... -knife-pcx
Manix 2 LW ($131.29): https://www.lamnia.com/en/p/6500/knives ... e-c101pbk2


My experience with other Fallkniven knives (I don't own that model) tells me that $65 (roughly half the European price of the Manix 2 LW) would be a great price for it. If you don't mind, could you message me and let me know where you picked it up? I'd love to buy one at that price. Thanks!

Thanks! The 'outlet' section of the Fallkniven website definitely has some great deals. Much appreciated. :)
