I had spoken too soon...forgot about my G10 Dragonfly which is foliage green. I do really like the colour, but I'm still toying with the idea of dying it blue (Did a SuperBlue blade swap on it) so it may not stay green.DougC-3 wrote:You'll love it. It varies from gray to golden gray to olive gray, depending on the light. The G-10 Dragonfly would be the best way to sample it, then be prepared to spend some money on other examples :)

Not saying it couldn't happen but I've never heard of Spyderco remaking any Dealer Exclusive after the initial unless the dealer request another run..DougC-3 wrote:That sounds very promising (with reference to getting another run of Manix2 with M4 steel). I wonder if there are any examples of that happening. It might be avoided in some cases to keep from offending the dealer. Also it might be less complicated to just change the scale type to something like diamond cut foliage green G-10 or worse yet :) , carbon fiber, though there's already been a Manix2 model with peel-ply CF. That way, it could be run as either an exclusive or a sprint.
Another thing is the "after contractual obligations have been fulfilled." Is it a 1, 5, 10 or 20 year contract?
I'd rather see a Manix2 done in K390/K294 or 10V/15V or Maxamet rather than M4..M4 is a good steel but my K390 Mule has been amazing..better than any M4 knife I've ever owned..

Picked up my order from GPKnives today (thanks again for the heads up Landon) and I couldn't be happier. This is one pretty looking knife, I love the diamond texture. On the way back from the U.S. I had to pull over and snap this pic since the sun was going down. I have my DSLR with me at all times these days due to the calendar contest and it payed off today lol. I won't be using this picture, but it is good practice.

Glad I could help. This sprint really is a pretty knife in my eyes as well. Excellent sunset lighting in this quick pic.Liquid Cobra wrote:Picked up my order from GPKnives today (thanks again for the heads up Landon) and I couldn't be happier.

It's made my top 3 grow to a top 4...I couldn't name my favourite of my top 4. Schempp TUff, Chokwe, PM2 (CTS 204P) and this Manix...such a classy looking, and yet formidably capable knife. Not 10 minutes ago we had a young bird fly into our garage and it was too young to know to fly out the door as an older bird will (They hatched weeks ago and have been staring down at me from their nest every time I've come home and entered our garage)...we've had a few older birds fly ihn from time to time and they almost immediately fly out. I managed to trap it under my hard hat, and cut up a cardboard box to make a bottom to slide under the hat (After I chased it around our garage for about 10 minutes until it got tired and landed somewhere where I could get a hard hat over it). Released it outside and that was that...biggest job this knife has had thus far, though I'm sure it won't be the last.

My local dealer says he has 9 of them in stock. He is reputable and a good guy. Go to this page and scroll down about halfway.

I really like that last one. Colorado sure is a beautiful place to live.

I think you're lucky to have a local dealer with that kind of stock to choose from, assuming his store prices are as good as his online prices.bdblue wrote:My local dealer says he has 9 of them in stock. He is reputable and a good guy. Go to this page and scroll down about halfway.

I guess "local" is relative. He is not really close by but in this area if you want to look at knives you have to go to a gun show so I do that sometimes and I see him set up there. So far I think I've bought 4 knives from him.DougC-3 wrote:I think you're lucky to have a local dealer with that kind of stock to choose from, assuming his store prices are as good as his online prices.
And he seems to have some of the Cruwear Manix 2 left. (I thought if I put out the word they would sell out fast.)
