Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
100% in! For the love of all things Spyderco, move the seemingly inevitable Manix2 LW Salt up the list, please!
Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
Absolutely.
I think the M2LW is very much the "new" Delica in that can carry lots of not just steels but styles.
I would buy son-in-law a Salt version in a heartbeat and he'd use the heck out of it.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I didn't vote because I'm neutral on this one. I certainly wouldn't mind the ultra-high corrosion resistance but it's not something I really need. Maybe kind of silly but I probably wouldn't buy one unless the handles were some great color that we haven't seen before.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
i love the manix 2 lw. of all the knives i’ve handled by spyderco (and i’ve been to the mothership), it is my favorite. i don’t worry too much about my xhp manix, but a salt version (preferably offered in more than just yellow) would be great.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
Id be in for a full salt version. A Manix 2 Backlock Salt. But Id rather see a PM2 Salt vs. a possible Manix 2 Salt.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I've been wanting to try the Manix platform. This would probably tip the scales for me.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I have the Native 5 on order. I have the Manix 2 LW In S90V And love it, but a Manix 2 LW In LC200N, omg!
Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I have zero interest in one.
Now if we were talking the XL, then that'd be at the top of my wish list. Especially in FRCP. I'd be all over one.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I respect all Spydies, but this wouldn't be one for me.
Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
No, I've never liked any iteration of the mini manix. I think there are superior designs in that size range, and that a lot of the qualities that make the full sized Manix such a great knife get lost when scaling it down.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
i've got my manix 2 lw and a manix xl here with me right now. i love them both, but i'm looking at them and having a hard time figuring out what you could be referring to, other than just having a longer blade, which i've seen that you prefer. other than that though, i'm failing to see how it loses anything else that makes it great. in my mind, the best part is the ergonomic handle and leaf shaped blade, which the lw manix maintains. all that is removed is a little bit of blade and a little extra handle that serves no purpose.Vivi wrote: ↑Sun Jul 22, 2018 8:52 pmNo, I've never liked any iteration of the mini manix.

This is why I think a lil manix is a bad idea, because the issue would be even worse. Other designs accomplish the same thing already.
anyway, could you elaborate? i really think it's a great design and i prefer it over all the other designs in this size, to include the pm2 and the shaman, which i tried to like more when i visited the factory outlet.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I'd be interested in an lc200n manix. Mostly because I don't have a manix yet so it would seem like a good way to try both lc200n and the manix. Although Vivi does make a very convincing argument for the manix xl over the manix.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
The Manix is one of my favorite designs, as most of you know. I would definitely want a Salt LW, especially if it were a nice, strong, back lock. However, if a CBBL were possible, and would not rust, then I would be okay with that. I think a back lock is more attainable.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
I'm on the fence on this one. I think a Salt folder should be flow through, or easy to disassemble for cleaning, if not both. I'm also not a fan of steel liners, which trap moisture in my experience. I'd like to see the Spydiechef formula - a high corrosion resistant blade steel in a titanium RIL with bronze washers - applied to more blade shapes.
OTOH, the Manix 2 LW is liner less. LC200N was also developed as a corrosion resistant bearing steel to use in place of 52100, so I don't think there would be a problem making the bearing in the CBBL from LC200N.

Re: Lc200n Manix 2 LW Interest Poll
If it was the backlock, maybe. But, I do not enjoy the CBBL.
I carried my 52100 Manix 2 for about 2 weeks. It now sits comfortably in it's box.
