I didn't realize you were serious about a pink Manix and then I see one for sale. That could ruin a good collection in my opinion.

Where'd you see this pink Manix 2? I'm curious to know what pricing is gonna be.

Sal had mentioned they were coming out and then some guy posted in the new release forum that his company had commissioned them and were looking for dealers to sell them to (post has since been deleted since selling isn't allowed on the forums).

You're missing the large Manix variant from the early production run(s) with the dino-style jimping behind the Spyderhole.

:p

Thanks. I had looked there for a "Manix 2" and didn't see any. Key was to search for "Manix II" instead. Even though only 500 were made, I can't help but wonder if people are starting to get Manix 2 burnout. First was the CF/S90V, then the blue Manix, then the Carpenter foliage green, and now pink. Seems to me that the green ones are still relatively easy to find and at decent prices, despite also being pretty limited and using a new super steel. And I just can't seem to get excited about this new one. Maybe I'm the only one feeling like we're getting too much of a good thing...

I don't really need a pink version. Heck, I'm not sure I'd even want it except for the joy of laughing out loud when some guy calls the pink Manix a "girly knife". I'm even less inclined to purchase it since (as far as I know) none of the profit is donated to the Breast Cancer Network of Strength, as is the case with the pink Native. It's not even one I would consider for my mom or sister, as the Manix 2 is a bit big and heavy for them. Really, it just seems like an odd choice of a knife to get the pink treatment.

Can you believe I had one of those in combo edge and sold it? :confused:

Would not have been my color choice, but I'm getting one anyway. Ordered mine from a company called knife squadron for what I think is a very reasonable price.

I'll probably get flamed :D but the standard HG 154CM blade takes and holds a good edge and is a strong cutter.

I was surprised by the price.

I love the hollow ground 154CM blade, and the stonewash finish is awesome for hiding scratches.

No flaming here. I agree with you. Its a solid steel and for the price, you cant beat it!

I just received a new large manix,and it has the old dinosaur jimping,my first with this style jimping.Did the early mini manix have the same style jimping.All of the ones I have are of the newer fine.

Wow, that's pretty wild. I didn't know a black blade version was coming out. Also didn't know the pink G-10 one was coming out either. I'm having a tough time keeping up here :)

I am not 100% sure, but I don't think so.
Much prefer the larger jimping. Didn't know it's referred to as dinosaur?
But I do like it much much better. traded away a later Stretch 2 and Green Lg Manix as I prefer the larger jimping.

OK, now I need to go find me a dinosaur. Thanks, guys... :confused:

I don't think they are any harder to find then the non-dinosaur, not sure of the production numbers but I bought a couple users recently and both were the larger jimping. And of course now there is a pink one out and pre order for the black blade so your Manix Mania continues :D

You do have a great collection of Manix's going there!
