Spyderco Manix 2

This is my review on the Spyderco G10 Manix 2... complete with some of my usual complaining about the Benchmade Axis lock... but with a little more detail this time. I call the Caged Ball lock an Axis killer... that's my personal opinion of it so if you get your feelings and/or ego hurt due to my ramblings then please don't start shit... I'll simply block you after being really mean to you... and I'll probably end up making a voodoo doll with your name on it and poke it with my Spyderco Kiwi excessively. =)
Be sure to read the tags if you get mad at me during this video... there's something just for you there.

For everyone else... I hope you enjoy your time here... maybe you'll find something here useful and entertaining.

For EDC purposes like cutting shit open, opening boxes and mail, and just overalll edc shit, would you reccoment the para2 or the manix 2?

@billyhirvine09

Well I recommend either one of them highly, and either one of them would excel at EDC tasks, however for me personally I slightly prefer the Para 2 overall. Either one you get you'd be getting a great blade though.

benchmade is just like harley davidson, over-priced and under-enginered

@TheTater1984

LMAO! Maybe that's why they make a Harley Davidson line of knives too, HAHA!

I'm more of a Yamaha or Suzuki man myself... something like the YZF-R1 would suit me just fine! =)

just telling it like it is, love that about you/nothing fancy

@teyacapan

Well thank you, I appreciate it.

I don't like to recommend something I have reservations about myself.

However if I love it, you'll hear me loving it a lot, HAHA.

Ur not right no no

@Hydra572

I think that would be excellent with a coil spring indeed. Like I said, the Axis crossbar itself is very durable... it's just those dinky little omega springs, HAHA.

I would be very interested to see if you do decide to custom work it. =)

I do love Benchmade's blade steels, a lot of their handles and their designs honestly.

I currently have all my BM balis and my BM 760 LFTi that I love... but no omegas in them!

@Hydra572

You're welcome, glad to do it. =)

Well if you really like the Bedlam then I don't see why you should not go for it. Just be aware that you might have to send it in for new Omegas one day. I did love the Bedlam auto I had awhile back (did a review of it too) but after I kept having issues with the Axis locks I decided to trade it away before that one was a victim as well. I just wish Benchmade would do more liner locks, frame locks and lock backs, because I love their blades.

[Hydra572]

@X4CTO Continued, or, from what I see in that griptilian, it seems that if I had the guts to do the custom work, I could cut a channel into the handles, and do a little addition to the liners which would allow you to throw a coil spring in... Hm... I'll have to consider trying to do this on a cheaper Benchmade.
