Mini Manix in the house!!!

[Geoff in Philly]

Home run Sal and Eric...out of the park.

Gents, this is one **** of knife.

great grip, great edge, great lock up, smooth opening, attention to detail is all over the place. The new thumb ramp is just right.

I am terribly impressed. :spyder: :) :spyder: :D

[pjrocco]

I'm so jealous right now! :)

Mine will be here Monday. Can't wait.

[speyederlover]

Geoff, can you post any pics? I am so looking forward to getting mine!!

[Vincent]

nice, post some pictures.

[ront]

Isin't it some how wrong to get a new knife like the 80mm Manix and brag that you got it AND NOT POST PICTURES in the same post?

This thread definitely need PICTURES.
Preferably of every angle and in hand as well.

[markg]

I saw them for sale, and was quite tempted...

However, given that I have purchased a Benchmade Styker in M-2 and a Spyderco Civilan in the last two days... I think my wallet needs a break!

Oh yes, and pictures please.

[hardkiss]

Well, I got mine this morning, and its a great looking knife. The blade isn't really that much smaller than the Manix's. The handle is the exact same as the full sized Manix, except its cropped around the back. The torx screws at the back of the handle appear beefed up, and stick out a little.

The spine grooves are more Endura-Wave styled, and aren't like the full sized Manix's, but they still work. The clip positioning holes are a lot better thought out. For tip-down carry, the holes are drilled above the pivot pin/screw, allowing for a very "low ride" in the pocket. For tip-up carry, the ride is also "low", as the holes are drilled just above the lanyard hole.

The pivot screws and lockbar screws seem more counter-sunk, and they do not extend past the handle scales, which is weird since the back screws are more beefy and do extend past the handle scales.

The handle ergos are pretty much the same as the full sized Manix, without the "pommel" of the original. The pinky hook is still present, though barely. If your hand fit well inside the original Manix, it'll fit on this one, too. Unlike the Para Military as compared to the Military, the 50/50 choil is not an integral part of the grip. You can maintain the same grip you had on the full sized Manix without having to use the 50/50 choil.

Best wishes,
Sundown

Can somebody please take exact measurements of the blade?
I have my doubts about the “80mm”. :rolleyes:
Thank you, :)

Oh wow, can't wait for mine to get in.
I was thinking this size may be better suited for my uses, just a little smaller than my standard Manix. Is this so, have you tryed it out?

[Nicky]

Can somebody tell me if it's easy to flip it open?
