Manix 2 XL Cruwear?

#1

Post by Catamount123 »

I'm really looking forward to the Shaman in this steel. The Manix 2 XL is the other one I'd like to see. I'm thinking an exclusive is more likely than a sprint run, but who knows? Who else is on board?

I'd be on bored board (thanks autocorrect) but I seriously doubt it'll happen unfortunately.

I think Cruwear would be an ideal steel for an XL sprint.

52100 would be another good one.

Yes please. This is the perfect steel for the Manix XL. I'd love one with brown or gray G10 and DLC Cruwear. I'd also love an original C95 Manix sprint in this combo with the original "dino jimping" and all.

I don't think we'll ever see another Manix XL sprint, and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets cut from the catalog within the next two years.

I love the model and would be all about a DLC carbon steel sprint, but the model doesn't sell well enough for that to happen. It's been out for over a decade now IIRC and has been run in a whopping two steels.

The Para 3 was run in more steels than that the first month it was on the market.

Guess we should have been born with smaller hands.

This pops up every two weeks. If they can make a Manix 2 with hollow ground 4V, making a Manix XL with a tool steel should not be too much to ask; take 4V, K390, CW, Rex 45, M4, 10V or similar - any of these would be great, beggars cann't be choosers ... I'll take at least two of whatever the Spydergods pick. Make it in 4V with DLC and crimson handles and I bet you it will sell at least as well as a Jade DLC Military. Pretty please :)

Yep, I wish St Nick's would have done this instead of the Delica. They have a great exclusive platform with that Red G10 and DLC 4V. Would make a great combo for a Manix XL, Native, Shaman, Military, etc. I would have loved a Manix backlock in this combo, but it was sadly disco'd.

Ferider has a point. These threads do come up fairly often.

Well, hopefully someone’s paying attention ;)

If the blade is Cruwear, I'm okay with whatever scale material/color will get the most other people to buy it. I'd prefer no DLC, but, again, if it's Cruwear, I can live with it.

Manix 2 XL

Cruwear

Skeletonized Liners

Medium Gray Diamond Pattern G10 like its baby brother, but a half shade darker, to stay cleaner looking.

No DLC please

I’ll take two. Or three. My credit card is glowing white hot

I really wish that I could invest in a run like this. Do we need to be retailers, or can we just start a knife collectors club like the whiskey guys do who source private barrels from the distilleries?

Cruwear would be great, but even greater:

K390 !!
M4
M4 DLC
4V
REX 45 ?

A brown handle would be fine with me, or dark olive or green.

But hey, it's already big, so how about a LINERLESS TITANIUM HANDLE LIKE THE MILITARY??!!
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.
