Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I’m in for Cruwear. A sprint like what they’ve already done with the Ayoob or Stretch XL is in mind.
Re: C95 Manix Sprint
DLC 4V would get some takers. I wonder if St. Nicks would consider it. They have been willing to go for big knives in the past. Millie 4V is on my top 5.
Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I’d jump on a 3V (maybe 4V) uncoated C95 sprint. But a hunk of AEB-L would allow me to let out my breath.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
A few months ago it would have been a hard no. I figured it would be too big for my wide but short-fingered hands. But then I rescued a dirt-cheap, mis-sharpened CruWear Manix 2 XL from eBay, and dayam! I was shocked at how good it felt in hand.
So yes, I'm all in for a C95 sprint in an upgraded steel. Please no black G-10, though. OD green micarta and 3V sounds perfect.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I used to own two C95s but sold the dino jimped one (shredded my thumb) so now have just one. I like it, but it gets a lot of "drawer duty" since it is quite heavy. If a desirable steel made it worth the purchase, maybe! I would hop on the 3V train. Would be nice to have a super tough, big knife. (Though I expect smaller, lighter FRN and FRCP knives would see more of my use.)

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I wouldn’t say no to a Manix 2 XL with a compression lock and magna cut steel or L200N

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
Looks like the C95 is gaining a lot of attention. I would be interested in one, any flavor, as long as I can actually get one. Some of the exclusives, especially St. Nicks and REC, have been very difficult for me to order.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I'm honestly baffled that we haven't seen this in 3V & OD Green Micarta yet. It would be such an epic knife. It is literally the knife that my avatar is based on and I told myself I would keep this avatar until this knife happened. That was like 4 years ago now. Lol.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: C95 Manix Sprint
In and In!
Not fussy on the steel, though I am a fan of stainless.
Wouldn't mind seeing it in the "standard" Spyderco sprint of CF and S90V.
And most importantly... AVAILABLE NORTH OF THE BORDER!!!

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
OD Green Micarta and 3V seems like a popular choice. Would this be in satin, stonewashed, or DLC?

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
OD Green Micarta and 3V would be fabulous!
Re: C95 Manix Sprint
green micarta and any high quality tool steel would be a dream come true. 4V, 3V, M4, 52100....I'd take any of those.
I'd be willing to spend way past my $200 limit to see it happen.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
Yes, please. Any flavor is fine.
Re: C95 Manix Sprint
I’m all for a Sprint!
I like the green micarta idea.
It is the best looking micarta Spyderco has recently made knives with.
I would prefer 4V, MagnaCut, Spy27, S45VN or even AEB-L. These are what would grasp my attention in the same way green micarta would, as far as steel goes.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
Yes I'm in!
Been watching secondary market for a while trying to get a C95.
Not too picky - tool steel and G10 or micarta would be great.

Re: C95 Manix Sprint
Green micarta and any of the tool steels (uncoated) mentioned and I’m in!
