Manix® 2 XL Black G-10 (C95G2)
Manix® 2 Black G-10 (C101G2)
Why would you choose one over the other. XL seem really big, so I personally leaning toward small version.

I mostly refer to it as the mini manix as a joke these days, but back in the day the current regular was marketed as the mini.

Interestingly the amount of "usable handle" on the Manix 2 and the XL are identical. Check out the attached image of a standard sitting atop an XL. [/color][/font]

I've been beating that drum for a few years now. Doubt this idea ever sees the light of day, but boy would I be a happy camper.
But look at the rear ends and imagine using each knife for heavy draw cuts gripped behind the choil. YMMV but when I briefly owned the original clear cage Manix 2, then later a Manix 2 LW, it always felt like my hand was about to slip off the rear end. And, sometimes it did.

Which in a way is odd because something like the Pacific Salt or Police dom't have a strong flare at the end of the handle, but I never experienced that issue with them as much. Even my wood scaled Police 4.
Who knows. I have a weird grip I guess.
