Need some feedback on the MANIX 2 CPM 154/S90V composite sprint

I am so very tempted to get this one but, given the price, I need some feedback from those who purchased and maybe used one.I only hope the fit and finish is as good as on my KC Exclusive M2 in CPM-Cru-Wear.That one is a beauty and the CBBL is incredible smooth.Pictures are more than welcome ;) Thanx

I got one to go with the composite PM2, but don't plan on using it much if at all. I can get some pictures later. F&f is superb, and overall it's a very nice knife.

Im sure you know what to expect. its pretty much a Manix but with a 154cm/s90v blade. Is it worth it?
From a user standpoint no. From a collectors standpoint? imho yes.
Higher end spyderco's are so under rated honestly. like the native 5 damasteel. you paying 150$ more yes.
But damasteel on custom knives are a 400-500 dollar option.

Actually, the value is in the blade. Crucible did a remarkable mating of the two particle materials in the can under heat and pressure.

Don't buy it for the fit and finish, buy it for the performance.

As cool as 154cm /S90V is. ( i just ordered a manix 2 CPM 154CM/S90V) I dont think it will perform significantly better than S90v.
So if your looking for a knife that performs you can get a manix LW in s110v or S90v.

I havent seen 154cm /S90V anywhere else actually spyderco always offer cutting edge steel for a "normal" price.
