Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
I just got my first manix xl last night and thought I'd add to this thread. How have I not had one of these before? Awesome knife. Very solid and no blade play. I really like the way my hand locks into the handle. I get that it may be a bit large for some but I really think this model deserves more attention and a few sprints. Rex45, 52100 or zwear would be great. Anyhow, I'm sold on it. Cheers

+1 - bought mine when they came in stock with my (European) supplier. Has a super sharp and polished edge. Fit & finish is perfect. Have ordered a deep carry clip and this will be a user. I like S30V too.Albertaboyscott wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 8:50 amI just got my first manix xl last night and thought I'd add to this thread. How have I not had one of these before? Awesome knife.

I would love this knife as a LW in any steel.

It's a tank of a knife and underappreciated in my opinion. Another steel would be nice but s30v is just fine for now.

They had one at dlt trading, and I was agonizing over getting it. Decided what the heck and... Sold out. Waited too long. *sigh*
I have my blade hq dlc m4, but want a standard model too... Guess I'll wait for another run.

Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
Handled a XL today at a gun shop, first time I’ve ever held one! I didn’t buy it as they had it listed for way too much. Loved the knife, loved the build and feel of it, it definitely went on my *to buy soon list* especially in a steel other than S30V.

Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
I would love to get my hands on a Manix 2 XL but I'm just not interested in S30V at this time. When was the last sprint for the XL? I haven't seen much at all.
Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
Surprisingly, I have only one S30V Buck in my rotation. I wouldn't mind another one, but I also want the XL Stretch and I have to decide how that stacks against the M2XL. Not just the steel, but the complete knife.

Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
I have both sizes of the original lock backs and a lwt and a Tan G10 M390 . I keep dancing around the XL model for quite sometime nothing negative just some other knives have caught my eye . I like the the idea of a light weight XL it is a fantastic idea . Spyderco has light weight versions of other models so why not the Manix XL ? Hope they would consider this option . Regards MG2

Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
there was a run of m4 and m4 dlc not too long ago. snagged a dlc m4 and slapped some micarta scales on it myself.
Re: Manix 2 XL Love?
Yep, have been keeping an eye on dlt. Can't get one right now though. Had checks stolen out of the mail and am dealing with the fallout of that, getting a new bank account, etc etc.
And now, after climbing on some rocks with my kid, I busted the screen on my phone lol! Probably just going to get a new one, and keep this one as a backup. Oh well... It happens!
