A Tid Bit of News on the Manix 80mm

#1

Post by ront »

I emailed Mike At NGK yesterday and heard back from him today. First of all, he said that "I generally do not believe a new knife is released until I have it in my hand". He also told me, "Ron, I spoke with Spyderco this morning concerning the MiniManix....the collector knives are being numbered as I type. They should ship next week. The regular production is due to ship a couple of weeks after the collectors. We have over 100 of these on order with Spyderco, so please help me get rid of some of these ;-). Actually, I expect these to go well".
So unless you are in the collector club, it still may be another three weeks or so. It is getting closer though.

Did he say what his price would be?

Good to hear, I can't wait to see some real world pictures, well, and dreamy Ted pictures (Ted is NOT the "dreamy" in that sentence :D ).

Also, it will be nice to see side-by-side shots of the Manix family.

Well I wouldn't plan on getting it from Sawyer's... Sounds like they are not going to be getting any non-numbered Manix 80mm in. :(

I have to call them back Friday.... :confused:

I get my collector pieces through them. Nonnumbered pieces are purchased through the lowest price dealer I can find, usually in combination with other pieces to save on shipping.

I got a surprised PM from Paul with this image attachment. These should be scaled down to proper sizes. All credits go to The Deacon, I'm just posting them cause I enjoyed them myself. Thanks Paul! :)
