Sprint Run Burled Manix 2

[BDNX]

I like that one a lot. I used to have the blacked out dlc M2 years ago. Wish I still did.

Yea no joy on those scales. My heart jumped when I saw “burled” because I thought that meant stabilized wood. I’ll pass.

That makes 2 of us.

I would love a Spyderco with Burled scales. I can get the Red gum Burl, just need someone to make them.

I remember I had said I didn’t like the scales but I remember them being textured. I saw a video in the Rex 45 thread showing the Rex 45 PM2 followed by the Manix. The scales looked polished and imo they look a lot better that way. I’ll wait to see them in person before I make my final judgement.

They look a lot better polished than textured IMO too

Actually, I do not think they look bad. Unusual, but I have seen some really off the wall customizations get praise on this forum, so I do not think this is too far out.

I like this knife!

I picked one up for $127 after tax at campsaver.com. They’re having a sale this weekend. 20% off your order, and they are only asking $150 for this burled G10 version

Thx for the heads up; saved $$ by ordering through Campsaver :spyder:

No problem! Sale is actually active until 9/3/18, but this Manix 2 is now $170 on their site. Free shipping is an option, which is nice for the patient ones.

Looks like it’s a “smooth” G10, which is interesting. I would expect a texture on nearly any knife made of G10, but with that marbled look I am willing to bet it will present extremely well. Come to think of it, I’ll bet it will show wear much more slowly than a solid colored, textured G10. Goodness, and the DLC coating throughout :eek: slowly becoming a less patient consumer! I’m glad their warehouse is within 50 miles from me.

Does anyone have one of these in their possession yet?

I don't have one but there's a couple pics in the other thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=80640

The knife is very nice! The scales are smooth but very different then the PM2 smooth G10 cruwear (both pictured). I tried getting the light reflecting off the scales to show the difference between the finish of the two.

Looks great, I’m excited! Seems to have a solid feel vs a textured G10, would I be right? Almost like a polished wood vs micarta if I had to exaggerate for explanations sake. Thanks for the picture. I clicked on the image and was able to see a much clearer image. I’ve been polishing my S90V Native’s edge (also dlc coated) since it didn’t come razor sharp from the factory, and I wanted to see if it could be done easily if my Manix 2 arrives the same way. It takes a sweet edge!
Thanks Nate, there is a nice picture in that thread :)

Exactly. ...perfectly stated!

Awesome, sounds sweet since it looks like wood :) I was initially imagining a medium-soft textured G10. This will be special.

Definitely cool! I like that each knife has its own unique pattern too. Mine came very sharp (not hair whittling like PM2 Rex 45) with perfect fit and finish.
