I just ordered one. For the same reason I have the Shaman and Para 3 versions. Worth while upgrades for very little more (less than $30USD difference) over the standard s30v/black G10 model. I like the classy look of the green G10.
I have a spare lighter spring, ceramic ball and titanium ball cage lock I bought to use in the BHQ mint green M4 Manix 2. I never ended up modifying it to be a take down, so I can now use the parts. Wins all round!

I was going to sit this out … I have a red 20cv manix.
But I can’t stop looking at it.
You got me .

So nice looking and in a good steel. I would have 100% bought this anytime in my knife career up until the last year or so in which I have become simply a Seki FRN lightweight fanboy.

Yeahhh… I’m struggling with this one. I just got a magnacut manix LW and I’m pretty sure I’d rather carry that one.

Same here. Love the knife, but can't do that when I spent around $140?? on my 4V and Rex45 variants.

Yep, just paid $140 for my Crucarta Manix.

I'm gonna sit this one out. I already have an M390 Manix 2, and I'm saving my knife money for the CruCarta Manix.

Received my KW Manix 2. The green is really nice on the G10. I added a Flytanium aluminum green ball cage, ceramic ball and light spring from Knives Plus, and a Lynch deep carry clip with their Stone Axe finish.

Nice looking knife, to be sure. Manix just isn't the knife for me.

I missed the 204p Delica, being out of the game at the time, but I'd be all-in if they ran the Endura in this configuration.

Mine arrived late last week. The scales were a little more...grey, maybe?...than what I think of as a true "forest green," but regardless, I like them quite a bit. And I'm excited to have a Manix in 204P to compare to my 20CV Manix. Everyone says the steels are identical, but maybe that .05% extra tungsten will make all the difference. Probably not, but MAYBE.

I have the KW Military and I always thought that 204P just ‘felt’ slightly different than 20CV and M390. The sound when sharpening it is a little different and I find it seems to hold an edge a little longer and be slightly tougher. There are a lot of variables in this though so I’m not sure if this is actually true.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

Just got mine, would also love one in the LW version, though I don't think Knifeworks has ever done a lightweight exclusive, other than the Delica if that counts, which I also regret getting rid of

I love this color, and while I'm not interested in another G10 knife, I will absolutely buy this in a LW model.

I know I said I wouldn't get one, but they have stuck around for so long and wore down my resistance. I must say it's very nice.

Such a beautiful Manix2 in dark green . I have passed on it too but since I completed my. Manix Crucarta journey interest in this exclusive once again is very tempting. . Dan

I got mine. Absolutely didn’t need it, but really happy I got it. It didn’t need the spring, ceramic ball or titanium ball cage. If I didn’t already have those items, i would have left it stock standard.

Yes, the forest green is very pleasing to the eyes.
