Manix 2 Battle: S110V FRN LW or Cruwear Gray G10

[Tabo]

So I see that the Cruwear Manix 2 thread is really popular (and for good reason) so I though I would post up a poll to see which all of you would chose to get if money was not involved.

My vote goes to the Cruwear, I much prefer the G10 version of the Manix to the FRN one (especially the gray Diamondcut pattern). The FRN will always feel cheap to me although I know it is very tough. Also I have never had Cruwear steel before, but I love those kinda of steels that you have to take of (i.e. corrosion).

I know these reasons are really more aesthetics and feel in hand than technical, but I would love to hear what the rest of you would pick and why.

No contest for me. S110V takes the square. I would prefer it in G10 but I have a plan to correct that.

[Ankerson]

Don't even have to think about this one, the S110V LW vers. :)

The steel and it feels like air in hand.

[JNewell]

S110V without any question at all.

[paladin]

You gotta ask? This isn't fair...

[setldown]

I love G10, but the Manix 2 S110V gets my vote.

[Ray Allen]

It's all about the steel for me on this one.
S110V for the win....

[twinboysdad]

so if Cruwear had come in grey FRN, change anything? You know, level playing field and all...

I would go with the s110v but also would prefer the g10. It is stainless.

So when are they gonna give us an option for s110v in G10!!! :)

It seems the people dig S110V, but many would prefer it in G10. I know I would.

I would only in linerless G10.

I've got an FRN body some destroyed while removing the S110v blade. I can't explain why but it's better than the FRCP version.

But nothing feels as nice as G10.

[gbelleh]

Lightweight, wire clip, awesome stain resistant steel. All the reasons I chose the FRN S110V. The lightweight Manix 2s are the only ones that seem to regularly end up in my pockets.

I love G10, but the Manix 2 S110V gets my vote.

+1. Steel trumps scale in my book.

But, as I already have the S110V version, I've ordered the Cru-Wear version. It, too, must be discovered.

[FCM415]

Wow Cruwear getting votes over S110v. Irregardless of handles scales that is crazy.

[Johnnie1801]

Right now I would buy the Cruwear as it's a sprint run, the s110v is a production model that I could save up for and buy later

[MacLaren]

I would echo David's post. I have the same G10 plan for my Manix S110V.

Priorities man some people just don't have any lol

I would echo David's post. I have the same G10 plan for my Manix S110V.

If you beat me to it I'd like to see your work. We can talk it over in PM if you like. I need to order some G10 and find a drill press I can use.

[nccole]

Only one? S110V for sure. Just because of the steel, but I do like the lightweight and wire clip. I do love the gray G10, and am looking forward to the diamond pattern. If I did not have my CRUWEAR Military, it might be a harder decision though.

[sir_mike]

I guess it could also depends on need or time frame as the Cruwear one is coming out where as the s110v is no where to be found! :)
