That was a cool video man... Well, honestly i "think" it was a cool video, i fell asleep right when that music started. It was about a knife or something right?
@Severator I'm trying to get all the variants, if you will, of the Manix 2 and that's the only one that hasn't shown up on ebay for a while. I did get the CF S90V Para 2 though so at least I have something with S90V. That and a regular Para 2 will be here tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited. Is there any better company than Spyderco? Not for my money.
thanx, it's always just siting in my pocket.......... i'm going to try and use the waranty if there is any available for it....... have a killer week end
@teyacapan - I know some folks were worried about the design using the lanyard tube on the end for structure rather than another screw. Perhaps flexing over time has loosened yours. I haven't read anything like this lately, so I'm not sure.
I gotta get one of these. i want the all black one they make with that fake diamond coating stuff. how has the past year treated those knives? Are they ''tough''?
@nightmarefacility its been a year already. wow! They don't make a Manix with the black DLC coating yet. A spyderco military though comes in all black. The only knife that I've really used to any level of rough treatment was the zt350 in the video, the all black one and it's tough enough for me. But I'm not the expert on hard use, so take that with a grain of salt.
@EnduringEagle - Thanks! This knife is a shelf queen for me, but if I did use it, I'd think it'd be ok with regular touch ups on the sharpmaker. Best place to look for info would be the spyderco forum. They have a great search engine and I know some members there have torture tested theirs. The green ones are XHP carpenter steel. This one is S90v.
I may have watched this video 5 or 6 times. Will be getting one of these S90V Manix 2 soon. Maybe a week, I found one on Blade Forums. Because of your video. It's all your fault! Great video, keep up the great work, thanks!
hahaha thats awesome to hear man. These vids are bad for the wallet. I've never really been into autos or OTFs but your microtech vids have put those guys on my radar. Will be cool to hear your take on it once you get it.
I have a sweet tooth for Autos, always have. Microtech is just a new craving. You beat there will be a video once I get the Manix 2. Is there a big difference in the S90V? I don't know that I will be able to tell the difference. Again thanks for the vid.
This knife is damn near perfect in this configuration - one of the best Spyderco is currently offering, IMO. If the regular version was FFG, I would definitely be picking one up. Wish they would make that a regular production option.
this one is the limited edition because it has a carbon fiber handle right? hmmm im not sure cuz i see one with a g-10 handle and im wondering if that one is gonna be in stock for a while or if its still a limited edition knife... :O
hi dance2j, this one is LE cuz of carbon fiber, S90V steel, and flat ground blade. The reg M2's are full on production, but their supply is thin now due to high demand prolly.
Very cool review, Man! Excellent... that is a sweet Spydie... Really digging that locking mechanism... And the carbon fiber is really great!
Had a chance to pick one of those up, and passed (I don't know why!) and I'm kicking myself for it now... Gonna have to get one eventually! Good stuff!
thanks man! When I saw it listed in stock at knifecenter, I wasn't fully committed. I paced for like 20 min and then like a zombie just went to the laptop and opened my wallet. You know this feeling I'm sure.
Heh... been down that path many a time, Man ;) Oddly enough, a few times with Knifecenter... and usually ended up doing what you did... heh... that's classic.
I have been looking to get something in the S90v flavor here pretty soon. Was looking seriously at the CF military. Might have to get one of those though...
hehe I hear ya man. I don't know how many times I've thought, dang for that titanium framelock ,I could get 3 to 5 knives. My list is just getting short these days I guess and maybe that's some normal knifenut progression?
That's because they have only released half or less of the run. The second half comes out in September, call a Spyderco dealer if you want one reserved.
Glorious! The gods are smiling upon you.. hah I like it and I'm tempted. I didn't realize the "ball-lock" appears to function similar to the benchmade access lock.
Hey COH, yah I've been wanting a ball lock for some time, but the choices haven't been too appealing for me until now. It's nice having the hole and axis style lock for sure.
Doodz ! This was made on planet Earth !!
That is mega supa dupa cool and important
I ain't trusting no knife made by Martians yo

so it's been a while but tell me how is the lanyard side holding up on the manix2. ived had mine for 4 month and the lanyard has some play to it.

@Severator actually not the tube but when you squeese the scales to gether at the tube part there is some play.
