Manix 2 Lightweight with black blade coming?

#1

Post by darr3n »

The Bento Box Shop Facebook page has a list of models that are "scheduled to be available this year but were not listed in the 2015 catalog." One of which is a Spyderco Plain Edge Full Flat Grind CTS-BD1 Black Blade Black Manix 2 Lightweight. Has anyone else been able to confirm this?

I apologize if this has been discussed, but I couldn't turn up any info in a forum search.

Not been discussed as far as I know and this is the first I've heard of it so thanks for sharing. I wonder FRCP or FRN?

I hear you. Even when that seductive pic came out, I was hoping that they'd have this option in a different steel. BD1 is the only steel I really have (among all the different steels that I have) a real rust issue with (in the FRN UKPKs). That's why I avoided the lightweight platform in the Manix 2 series until the S110V version came out. Too bad it's so hard to swap blades with these :(.

I would settle for S30V on this one but would fall over for S110V.

Must say, that all-black Manix LW is a looker...

I am surprised (in a good way) to see two new Native 5 models with serrated edges:
• Spyderco Serrated Edge Black Native 5 Lightweight
• Spyderco Serrated Edge Black Blade Black Native 5 Lightweight

Nice to see new generation SE's coming on board...

(I recently received some of the kitchen knives, and I really like the shallow wavy SE pattern on those)

Has anyone been able to confirm these knives will be available this year? From another source such as Sal or perhaps another reliable dealer?

Eric G. mentioned in one of the SHOT Show videos that the Natives would be coming soon/in the spring.

When I saw this thread title I was hoping it would be a black dlc s110v blade with the dark blue handle, hopefully next year :)
