Hi Brian,

Thanx much for the great review and pics.

sal

What happened to this manix 2 review? Lol

Very nice. I can't wait for your manix 2 review

Hi Sal:

My pleasure. Thanks for sending the knives

Good review. I've had one on pre-order for eons now. Any word on when this will ship? hopefully its imminent.

that look great, larger yep ergo...just wonder if the pocket might be a hotspot

Any update on this knife?

Beautiful knife. I'll have to admit I find deep belly blades a little difficult to use, at least for my cutting chores, so this one I'll just have to admire from afar.

Look at t like this. The longer it's unavailable, the longer we get to keep our money. Least that kinda works for me.

Yes! Great way too look at things.

I'd love to have this model, sadly, it's quite a bit out of my price range. Looks and sounds like a beaut though :)

Has anyone handled the Lionsteel Aluminum SR-1 in comparison with the Lionspy? I really love how thin the G-10 looks in the pictures in this thread's OP, but I think the single piece construction of the SR-1 is very elegant. I would apprectiate if anyone could weigh in that has held both. Thanks,

Sal post at blade forum that they are on the way to Spyderco :-)))))

I have a Lionsteel SR-1 Titanium, but I just can't get warmed up to it. The Lionspy however, may actually work for me. I think the problem with the SR-1 has to do with the lack of a hole.........

too bad its priced so high. Its got great features, but out of my range.

Can't FREAKING WAIT! Mine's on preorder at GPknives.... Does anybody here have experience dealing with that vendor? I'm hoping they receive a shipment straight away.... I'm itching like a crackhead in county over here! XD

Cool knife, just a tad over the 3.5" blade limit here. I hate when that happens.

where is here? You could always grind it down if you're that concerned about the law.

To be completely honest, I grew up in LA, where I carried a Police for MANY years, I had to use in after being attacked. I put it into my assailant's ribs 3-4 times and thru his cheek once "he attacked me from behind with a MagLite". The cops kept my blade, and that was ALL... There is a 3" limit there and my police was what, 4+? Years before "when I was a young A-hole" I spent 5 days in jail over a legal, exposed, skinning knife, charges changed a coup,e times before *reduced* to concealed weapon "was NEVER concealed... The point is "no pun intended :cool: " that if the law wants to screw around with you, they're gonna, but if you're obviously not the A-hole, they'll most likely warn you about size and say "have a nice day"..... Lol, I say BUY IT!

I got my XHP Manix 2 from GPKnives. Like you, I had pre-ordered the knife and it seems that I got mine very quickly. Hopefully your experience is as positive as mine was.
