manix lw magnacut internal differences?

[argyle1812]

I recently received my magnacut lw manix. so far ive been very pleased with it. One odd thing ive noticed though is the action is noticeably less "snappy" than my 4v manix lw. I was wondering maybe the magnacut one has some pivot differences that would make it a bit less fidget friendly?

Have a Manix LW MagnaCut and I find it just as snappy as my son’s Manix LW SPY27. You might just need to losen the pivot slightly.

The Manix LW has surprisingly become one of my favorite platforms.

I believe the Magnacut Manix LW uses a ceramic ball for added corrosion resistance, as opposed to the stainless steel ball of the regular Manix LW.

That said, my Magnacut Manix LW drops shut when I release the lock, while my 4V Manix LW needs a firm shake to get the blade to drop. I don't fidget with my folders though so I can't comment on the snappiness of either variant.

It’s hard to tell from those pictures. That being said one quick way to tell is by looking at the text on the blade that says “Spyderco”. In pictures 1 and 3 the text is clear, in pictured 2 that would show the “Spyderco” it is very blurry… almost IMO photoshopped to hide the text. I would avoid without better pictures.

It's fake. The label should look like this:

Sorry, i can't understand what the difference is

The size of the text in relation to the label is too small. The description of the knife is on the same line as the model code when it should be below it. The date code is not in bold.

Thanks, friend

Not sure I'd go solely by the label. I've seen identical models with labels that were a little different

Well there's also the fact that the blade looks stonewashed rather than satin.

I stopped following all the counterfeit knives. Have there been fakes of the Manix 2 LW? If so, have there been fakes that are this close to the real thing? Also a knife that hasn't been released yet. Based on the pic in post #4 it sure looks like a real M2LW to me.

my friend bought it on ebay

Recently there was a whole slew of fake M2LW on eBay (this whole topic is about that viewtopic.php?t=96327) and they all seem to be stonewashed. That doesn't bode well for this specimen
