Oh, I love the scales on that. Not seen any like those. And that is a freak'n 15V steel too really nice Manix. I would carry that too, matter of fact, I will arm wrestle for it lol...

Really nice knife man!
thanks! it's a 15v manix from the first run a while back. it's pretty much my ultimate non-salt knife. scales are green canvas micarta from bladescales and the ball cage is brass from flytanium.

I knew I liked how it looked lol. You really throwed down on that one lol. Way nice in my opinion. I just ordered a set of scales from them for a used Manix2XL, I just bought sight unseen more or less from Arizona knives website.

Couldn't get the Micarta, had to go with G10. I like G10 it’s really Tuff durable stuff.

A bit late, but as promised.
It's a gem.I only wish the blade was thinner but I love mine anyway. Best Manix so far !
I agree it is the best Manix. For me, the blade thickness is great. It is so wide that it tapers down very thin. It slices as well as my other Manixes in my experience. This is the one knife I would keep if I had to get rid of all others (though the Stretch 2 K390 is a strong contender).

Though there are "Manix Monday" pics frequently in the "What Spyderco is in your pocket" thread, I think a dedicated thread could be fun.

Where I live it is Monday already and so I´ll share an old pic of a Manix model I don´t have anymore, but I actually miss it. I think the translucent blue handle is cool and unique, and BD1N exceeded my expectations when it comes to the "ease of sharpening / edge retention" - ratio (like in sharpening is superquick and easy, but the edge holding still decent)

Hahaha, well Dan the past few weeks I've been working on a project a few hours a day at work, gets me out of the office and backdown to the warehouse and storage areas. I've missed getting a little dirty, and obviously being able to use my knives. I'll take it!

The only "Manix" posted in "Manix Monday" so far. :zany

Based on the majority of what's posted this should be the "Manix 2 Monday" thread.

Next thread idea: Manix 2'sday :winking-tongue

Anyway, here's my contribution for Manix 2 Monday. ;)

I had a LW Manix 2 in Rex 45, but I ended up selling it because I didn't love the ergos or the CBBL. But I am seriously considering giving the Manix 2 another go, but with G10 handle this time. I'm sorely tempted to get the Knifeworks exclusive in CTS-204p.

talk me out of it, or into it.
