Too many Manix 2 runs IMO. I would like to get an orange one, but probably won't pick one up since the steel isn't anything different. There's just too many other models I don't already have competing for my money in the near future. Thanks for the heads-up though!
Just placed my order. This will be my first Manix. Looking forward to it!

I wonder why there were no ukpk sprints :confused:
There's plenty o' UKPKs as well, but not all necessarily sprints.

The Manix 2 is a great knife, and I'm glad there are so many sprints to give us options. I just can't justify getting a lot of them as I have limited knife funds and choose to buy models I don't own yet instead.
But this orange one is tempting, and the price is certainly right. I just wish it came with some other variety of steel, such as M4, CTS-20CP, BD1, Damascus, etc. Then the decision would be easy. As it is, I'll have to think about this one for a little while. With a GITD EDC-forum version in my future, I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I need yet another Manix 2.
That is very true. I only own one manix currently as I decided to sell off two in order to buy an XM-18. I really love the Manix 2 though and am glad to see it is getting a lot of attention :D
Just ordered one! I'm a sucker for orange G-10 and love my Manix 2 with CTS HXP so adding this one was a given. Thanks to Jeff and Spyderco for another fine design.
