I have the Marbled CF Manix. It's worth the money. I'm good on PM2's though.

The Fradon Lock exclusive Manix2 CPM-4V Marbled CF from September 2018 was $210.

In my top 2 best spyderco handles

ParaMilitary2 CPM-M4 Black DLC Blade Lava Flow Fat Carbon Fiber C81CFPRDOR Smoky Mountain Knife Works (USA) Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at 11:00am ET for $199.99. All hardware, clip and liners are Black Coated.

Seems strange that they are dropping these so quickly. One after another after another. The fat carbon has lost its "coolness" quickly with all these consecutive drops. How much odd colored camo combos do we really need in a month!?

I like the Dark Matter Gold!

DARK MATTER GOLD



TOXIC STORM


MARS VALLEY


PURPLE HAZE


SNAKESKIN GOLD


DARK MATTER (“Dark matter” colored carbon fiber sheets available in RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, PURPLE, BLACK colors, as well as real copper and bronze)

They make some copper and carbon fiber combos that I would find irresistible, regardless of the model.

Pretty much any of their copper combos really. Raindrop Copper, Darkmatter Copper, Space Coral Copper, etc. I love them!

The Fradon Lock exclusive Manix2 CPM-4V Marbled CF was a real sleeper.
It's one of the nicest Spydercos I own. Fit and finish was shocking.
I think a lot of people were scared off by the saber grind.

Don't know about the Elmax Para2. Would have jumped for a 4V para2.

Yes. I find the ones with metal flavors much more appealing than the bright and loud ones.

Dark Matter Gold is pretty nice.

Some of these Fat Carbon designs remind me of Jackson Pollock paintings. His famous “No. 5, 1948” painting (below) sold for about $140 million in 2006!

114 variations of the same old stuff. Pretty sad if you ask me. There hasn't been a new model introduced this entire year. Where are the new designs Spyderco?

I'm fairly new to collecting knives. I love a good 3v/4v really want to try MagnaCut. In the past 6 months, all I want to see is a Shaman exclusive. I don't understand why they keep making pm2's, delica's, etc but completely ignore their most loved (from what I read) knife at the moment.

That Dark Matter Gold is very pretty.

Dear BaizuoBeGone:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Never heard of fradon lock. Who's got a link for this as I am very interested in the elmax pm2 with marbled carbon fiber. Any pics out there?....

Fradon Lock is on Burnet Avenue in Syracuse, New York. It is a long-time brick and mortar store and also sells online.

Smoky will definitely do satin versions of the jungle and lava PM2s, but I'm 50/50 on whether we'll get the Native 5 LW with DLC. They never did a mint and DLC Para 3 LW.

In general, I wish that the Native 5 LW got more sprints and exclusives because it's a very efficient and inexpensive model to try a variety of steels. I could see it almost being a folding equivalent of the Mule Teams.
