Just got my Manix 2 (translucent blue)

And yikes, it's light. My eyes say "you have a knife in your hand". My hand says "I'm empty. Why am I empty? I should have a knife to play with! Give me a knife!" :p

Anyhow - I want to move the pocket clip to the other side. What size of hex key do I need? I'm also considering playing around with my other knives (Delica, Dragonfly, Tenacious), so I'm buying a full set. Do I need a metric or imperial set of hex keys?

I believe that it's a Torx head like most all other Spydercos (I think T8 on my Manix2 clip IIRC), but don't have one myself so can't confirm.

Check out Wiha or other quality sets to avoid stripping screws.

Congrats on the "Trans Blue Manix 2"
Love mine - much more than the G-10 version. Trans Blue is perfectly centered - light & strong.
The G-10 model is just strong :( - .

Sorry for sidetracking, but could you guys comment on the Manix Lightweight steel? I love the blue scales (black is soooo boring), and love the idea of a lightweight but sturdy knife (smaller than my Endura FFG), so this Manix is very high on my wishlist. I'm just a bit puzzled by the unsual steel choice. How does the edge hold? Is it easy to sharpen? How about rust resistance?
