I cannot wait for this one. I will buy one the day it drops. But my secret desire is an S45VN Manix with a brush finished blade, natural canvas or brown burlap micarta scales, and a factory titanium cage.

Do you allow the scales to develop a personality or do do maintenance over time ? What are your preference? MG2 It has already developed a dark patina and it's only been about a month. I think I'm eventually going to take the scales off, give them a brasso spa day, then let them develop a new patin...

I love what you have done with the Manix. For me the LW cheapens the design in to the ground. But i get what you are aiming for. The manix g10 is one of the best knives ever to put custom scales on it makes it a completely different knife. I also love the heavy feel it gets from those scales. Here ...

Does anyone have any idea when this will be dropping?

I have nothing against blurple or G-10 but for some reason, I just feel like it cheapens the Manix, so I put my own spin on it.

It's a lot heavier now, but I don't mind. I like a weighty knife!! Enjoy the eye candy

I love the spirit of the knife community in general, most of the decent folks here, Spyderco as a company... I just wish every SINGLE comment didn't have to be moderated.

I'd be happy with a Manix 2 in S45VN brushed out nicely like the PM2. Will we ever see that?

... in S45VN? Seriously, I can't help but put my PM2 next to my Manix 2 and think "Together they are the perfect knife". Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against S30V, but we all know S45VN is the better steel. I'd love to see a brushed finish like the PM2 has on that nice leaf shaped bl...

Glad to help! Let us know what you do and how it works out for you.

Just ordered the Flytanium silver cage assembly from BHQ. Now the agonizing wait ....

As ladybug said, I found that leaving mine half open each night for a while seemed to help some. So, yes, it will change and break in over time if you do this. I will also say that while I haven’t changed the spring or ball in mine, I did change out the cage to a titanium one. This was a huge impro...

then I have to ask... is it really that bad? I just always wonder is it really worth modding the knife? Is it really that bad? No, it's not that bad. Just annoyingly bad enough that I have to focus on the knife when I'm trying to close it with one hand, and that's something I don't have to do with ...

I really hate modding Spyderco knives (for function, not style). You're right, they built it that way for a reason, and I'm inclined to trust them. I think you are right, I need to just let it break in, and increase my thumb strength/get used to the motion Thank you for your replies! I'm not going t...

Hi all! I got the Manix 2 and this is my first cage lock knife from Spyderco. I see there are custom aftermarket springs out there and now I understand why. Does the factory spring break in and become easier to compress? I find that is difficult to one-hand close this bad boy because of how strong t...

Any PM2 specials coming out?

"Native Chief CPM-4v DLC Red G-10" <-- Anyone know if this will be re-stocked/available anywhere else? It's beautiful. Just got my Fradon Lock PM2 yesterday and I love it.
