Wow!. The Manix in both sizes are, IMO, one of the best production knives ever made by any company. I see a market continuing for them like has happened with the Lil Temps. They are well known and respected even amongst the non spyderco people.I'd keep the tooling and run a batch every few years if it was me. Joe

It's been supplanted by the Urban - basically the same knife but with interchangable colored scales.

Native SS is going ??? surprised( ;) Maybe I smell a Native IV ...ie NIII in SS :p )
Surprised on the Manix small and large. Not too surprised with the UKPK considering the Urban's impending birth. Not surprised on the Kris.

OK guys, I suppose we'd all just better get out to our local sharp store and grab one of each on the list then :D

Looking forward to a great 2008 for Spyderco and for us all.

Yeah, I can't think of another production folder that is everything the Manix has -- sub $150 price tag, flat ground S30V, built tough to take a beating, and a very ergonomic handle.

Just placed an order with NGK for a PE Manix.

****.

Sorry, but, ****. You guys are getting rid of the Manix line????? :mad: :mad: :mad:

I just got a Mini Manix, which for me, is pretty darn close to perfect.

You guys HAVE to be putting in a new hard use folder, then. With out the Manix family and the D'allura, theres not much thats "up there" strength wise. :(

Trust in Sal, I suppose, he knows what he's doing better then I do. ;)

Let the rumors begin: Manix 2 is coming :p
I think the manix line has a replacement though. I am not surprised--It has been out for a while and could probably use a redesign or something to spark new interest.

Well, crap. Guess I'll be picking up another manix plus a few mini-manix. I have yet to handle the 83mm one.

Oh, and better add a Dallara Drop Point to the list.

Time to put in for overtime staffing at the firehouse!

Here's looking forward to a bountiful Spyderco spring. :D

I'm not surprised about most of those but the Mini Manix caught me by surprise some. I figured that one would be around for several years after the Manix was discontinued. Didn't see them both being discontinued together at all.

Well, of those being discontinued, I only have the C74GPS Ocelot, C94GP UK Pen Knife Black G-10 and the C95GPS Manix.

The ones I want to get are the C115CFP T-Mag and the C82PSBK2 D'Allara Drop Point.

Of them all, I would like to see the big Manix continued.

:eek: Hmmm... A Manix may have just bumped the Caly 3 from my Christmas list.

Somewhat surprised by this as are many others it appears. Any successor to the Manix line looks to have big shoes to fill.

I love my Kris, but it does not surprise me that it will be dropped.

The T-Mag does not surprise me. I like the design, but it's a bit high in price for a magnetic slipjoint that will screw up my ATM card.

The Manix & Mini Manix does surprise me though.
