Mail man just brought me the new Manix 2 XL and Wow!! I'm loving it!! I jumped on this knife as soon as i saw it fearing it would sell out and I would have to wait around like i am now for the Yojimbo. Anyway, for the size difference between the manix 2 and manix XL the weight doesn't really feel any different to me. Big FFG s30v blade, IMO is what the manix 2 was missing, great ergos, what's not to love, this knife is awesome!! I just checked where i bought my knife from and sure enough they are sold out!!! Anyways, this knife is even alot smoother than my manix 2 i mean butter on glass smooth. I believe this knife has just overtaken the military as my favorite large folder Two thumbs up Spyderco great job this knife is a steal at 91.00

I like it as well, although the positioning is kind of awkward. It leaves a lot of handle sticking out (not deep-carry friendly). Aside from that, it's great. Not hearing a whole lot of buzz about it here on the forum though.
o yea and speaking of pocket clips i believe its the same clip as manix 2 just kind of in a weird place lanyard hole and up is completely exposed when knife is clipped in pocket

I like it. That's one sturdy knife with a special charm. I am glad i had a chance to get it. But definitely not carrying it because of size, weight and clip design. There are much better EDC choices among larger knives. I would have to lose at least 5 of my top larger EDC choices before i even think of carrying Manix XL
