Knifeworks Green 204P Manix exclusive incoming, ordered late Friday night.

Still got a hankering for a Crucarta Para 3 and a Street Beat, thanks Vivi!

Mind if I ask which Mule scales those are? And do they have a matching sheath available?

congratulations @benben, I believe I snoozed on this one for far too long. You may have grabbed one of the last KW Exclusive Manixi. It's a great shade of green and my favorite of the 3 like steels (M390, 20CV, 204P).

Elijah Sonntag Designs on Etsy; he has a variety of scale types but no sheaths that I can see, unfortunately.

What, mine? Tomorrow or Thursday? You got to be talking to someone else Dan lol... Everything I ever get from ebay it usually takes 10 days or more... Seems all my stuff goes through customs twice lol. Then they sit on it and think about it.

Heck I can get scales from Ukraine quicker...lol
Maybe this will be the exception, long as it's a good shade of green in all the different light or least for the most part, I will be very pleased.

Finding green is hard and then I started looking for green Micarta with some texture to it, like my Camel Manix 2XL. My Camel is G10 and not Micarta at all.

I like this texture on the Camel, just wished it was a little more green but It's growing on me, just so long as I don't have to feed and water this beast lol.

which one did you grab?

btw your enthusiasm for the manix xl has me carrying mine more often lately. it's been third place to the police and military for me for years, so I usually grab one of those two. but there's something about how perfect the handle feels for me that keeps me coming back to it.

if you've never tried the lockback version (Spyderco C95 Manix) you should track one of those down too. It's got a thicker blade and beefier feel overall.



This sprint run version is rare, only 600 made. Me and Apollo each have one. The black scaled versions go for a very reasonable price.....usually $120-180.

Well I will be the first to admit I love the way the Manix 2XL grips in the paw. It just couldn't get much better feeling in my beat up paw...

Now I will say, I do also have a Military 2 or a Police4 on board also, with my Manix 2XL which has been the Camel here for the last few weeks. Trying to warm up to color of it lol. It's OK or I would just dye the Camel more greenish. I should feel guilty for having as many Spyderco knives as I do, but I don't feel guilty at all lol.

Now this new Manix 2XL I have coming I got off ebay is a green Micarta, with the same rough texture as my Camel, or at least it's supposed to be lol...

I looked all over for just the green Micarta textured scales and never found anything. This is a knife with the scales already on and supposed to be S30V steel, heck long as it's the Manix 2XL size, then the textured green scales I will be thrilled at this point. I do all my own stuff as a rule, this will be a first like this...

I don't even know what part of the world this knife is coming from either, so it too; may get to go through customs lol...

If the Camel had been more green, I would probably not even looked for this and just waited on the Manix 2XL with the MagnaCut steel. As it turned out it wasn't and I didn't wait lol.

The other thing I see right now with the Manix knives with the MagnaCut steel is they all are linerless and I am not a fan of how the two scale half go together. So the jury is still out on that anyway for me.

Coarse now, I am still waiting on the big Manix with the MagnaCut steel, and another hopefully more greenish one also, which is just fine...

Heck I am going to keep on at this, and have to go back to work and get off this retirement thing I not doing so well at lol...

I have way to many hobbies and none of them easy or cheap lol. I just look at stuff around here and it's a 1000 bucks, then when I get it started thinking that would take care of it, that's when things get really expensive for me lol.

They all are just really small projects too... I just don't know how I ever did anything while I was working, seems like there is always something else around here lol... None of it small, easy to fix or build, I don't get it lol, and I ain't sitting on the porch either...

M4 XL.

Next time I post a picture of it the handle should be a different color. The Kelly Green dye looks closer to foliage green in person. Hope it works. If not, there's always black.

Figured this would be a fun experiment while I wait for my micarta scales to be made.

I think I'm going to try this dye on my LC200N Pacific too. Planned on going black but I might as well give this a shot first.

FWIW, I've found using their "DyeMore" line works significantly better on G10 than anything else I've tried.

I'll try that next time.
