Finally got mine today. Aready put my own edge on it since the factory bevel was pretty uneven.
And it looks outstanding! Good job Guts. YES I will let you sharpen my 4V Manix if/when it ever arrives.

Ha thanks Bolster. I don't know that I'd trust myself with other people's knives but I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless :smlling-eyes

Got mine on Thursday. The LW has made me rethink my dislike of the CBBL.
The spring is easier to manipulate, maybe due to the wire clip or the FRN grip.
Mine will be carried Christmas day for gift opening.
The sticker included was a hoot.
Great job Spyderco and SNK for another great looking knife.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the delivery with a picture. :cowboy

Mine is not here yet. It's taking a round-a-bout road trip first, I guess. Latest Tracking shows a Tuesday delivery.
This darn package will have about 7000 miles on it, before it finally arrives. :woozy

Mine had strange routing . From Birmingham it went to Chicago , then across Northern Illinois to another hub by quad cities , and then to Champaign. The crazy part is I live in central Illinois . Honestly don’t remember the Manix XL taking so long to get to my town but a Friday drop did take up some of the delay. It was well worth the wait . MG2

I'm about 340 miles West x Northwest of you, Manixguy@1994. So maybe this time it was just a Midwest thing? :smiling-cheeks

They sure can't blame it on the weather though. Up until today (1 inch of rain @ 52 degrees), the weather has been fantastic for the last dozen weeks.

So! Was I the last guy in the USA to get his LW 4V Manix, as predicted? Mine just showed up today, Wed Dec 27.

But it's really nice. Worth the wait I'd say.

OK, nobody responded (in the USA) re: getting their LW 4V Manix LATER than I did, so by default, I'm taking the "slowest delivery award" on this one.

Woo!

Hi all!
I am new to this forum as a “writer”, but a an experienced guy as a “reader”. So first of all I wanna say Hi to everyone.
Today I received my C101PWHBK2 aka manix 2 lw from GP Knives. All is ok besides marking on a box which says M4 instead of REX45.
Please look at my pictures attached. Is this ok or GP Knives sent me replica (I can assume manipulations on the shipping company side).

Dear AndrewNavr:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

The labels for this knife were printed wrong. I just checked and the box label for the satin-bladed version correctly states REX45. The boxes for the black-bladed version incorrectly state M4, but the blades are most definitely REX45.

Sorry for the confusion.

Stay safe,

Mike

I think it's like a misprinted baseball card, doubles the value. Haha

Thanks so much. Looks like you have a special box. That may be worth something one day. I’d keep it nice. But use the heck out of the knife. That’s an awesome blade you have there.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I have the black bladed version. Didn't notice if it said M4 or not but that's actually sorta cool.

Thanks for the blade centering tips but SNK replaced it for me as the tip was hitting the scale. Perfect action on the replacement. SNK is a class outfit.
