My most recent purchase. The REC exclusive Manix 2. It's a factory second, and other than a slightly uneven edge bevel, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. (I was able to fix the edge easy enough) The action is great. The blade is centered. I really like the REC OD green and dark earth color combo. Not to mention CTS-204P! What's not to like about this knife?

Of course I had to put the LynchNW clip on it

Took an updated family photo. I regret not getting the 20CV mystic green Manix from a few years back. At that time I was turned off by the pinned construction, but realize in hindsight that it would probably have been just fine.

Very nice group of Manix knives Mikey ! I have been thinking of adding the Salt to collection after I pick up some old stock available to me . Dan

Thanks, Dan! The Magnacut Manix is very good. I hope you acquire some nice pieces.

This one completes my attempt to have all the first Manix first release models . This one came out of my best friend’s collection so I will leave the scales as is to honor him . Dan

the best Manix Spyderco ever made, and for me it's not even close:

I love my gen 2's but these were on a different level. Better ergonomics, more impressive fit and finish, etc

I still feel fortunate having just one and agree it would be great if they would ever do a Sprint . Dan

Never had the pleasure (yet) to hold/use a gen 1. The backlock will remain one of the strongest locks out there. I was wondering about the ergo's compared to the Manix 2. The pommel is the main difference from what I can tell from photo's. What are the biggest differences? Is the sizing a bit different in anyway?

Hi Paul , Vivi has bigger hands than me , I wear a size large glove . I find the Xl and C95 more comfortable in hand a little more room and not locked in as much as the Manix 2 . Trade off is larger of course in pocket . I never carry anything but a folder in left pocket so not really an issue with me . After all these years still love the sound of the knife locking in . Dan

Thanks Dan! Was just looking at the specs of the OG Manix. Considering that and the pommel, it has more in common with the Manix 2 XL in my perception. Hope to find one some day!
