I noticed the description says FRN. Is that a typo or is FRCP replaced? Has this been discussed before?

I'm assuming it's a St Nick's error, since all other Manix2 Lightweights have been FRCP and Spyderco's own listing states that it is FRCP.
Thanks.
Is this full-time volunteer work for you? Where can we send donations? :bug-red-white

I just have no justifiable reason to buy a LW manix - I own way too many knives in that blade size bracket that literally just gather dust. I hope you all scored them if you wanted them 👍🏻
I didn't manage to get one but the LW Manix is one of my favorite knives. I have S110V in blurple and Rex45 in orange. Depending on what characteristics you like in a knife, the LW Manix might not seem exciting with its molded plastic handle and light weight but it works well for me.

It’s more a case of the Manix XL is if anything a bit small in the blade dept for my purposes. The regular Manix LW is in that sort of in between size that is neither big enough nor small enough for my preferences. I do really like Spyderco’s LW offerings generally - the Police 4 LW SE in K390 is one of my favourites, and don’t get me started on humble Dragonfly 😂

I fully intended to buy this one, but I was busy doing something at work and forgot to buy it. It stinks that I missed it, but the White FRCP/Satin Rex45 Manix 2 LW GPKnives exclusive dropping soon will make up for it. I have some of the other 4V exclusives of SNK's, and they're great, but I almost always reach for a Rex45 blade when I choose my edc every morning.

I picked up two of these and last week,one of the GP Knives exclusive in Rex45.This should be an indication of my fondness for the Manix 2 LW platform and the Light Weightness qualities of the knives.

As for the Speed of the whole Checkout process, I have to commend SNK for their choice of the Shopify platform and the superiority of it.Spyderco should take note.

Didn't Spyderco just use Shopify for the online seconds sale?

Hey Jeremy, I’ve yet to try Rex 45 as I’m waiting (and quietly hoping) for a larger blade knife to come out in it like a Manix XL or Police 4 LW, but I’m keen to give it a go. I love 4V, so am genuinely interested to hear what about Rex 45 sings to you so much that you’d select it over 4V or similar? If it’s that good I may have to give it a try in something available now 👍🏻

Cant wait to see photos of these full size SNK Manix LW’s in the wild! It’s surprising that they did the Oversized Manix before the normal, full sized Manix LW.

Maybe SNK thinking of natural succession. G10 models before the lightweight or possibly what worked best for both parties to get product out the door . Hopefully you may see a Lil Native and would not be surprised to see a Millie 2 in the future . Dan

I was surprised too but I'm pretty sure it has to do with production timing/scheduling. Maybe getting FRCP scales takes awhile?

They did a compression lock Lil Native in the past but a backlock variant would be super cool!

IME Rex45 shows a bit better edge retention, while 4V is a bit faster to sharpen. I don't see a huge difference in them in small folders.

Or the Wharncliffe version. They mentioned on social media they still had a few Golden Models left to do. The Yojimbos/Yojumbos are out I believe due to the red. I would be down for the Wharncliffe Lil Native!
