Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
Why do you prefer an additional spacer?
Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
Maybe just being an engineer and my OCD, Tom :) : 2/3rd of the Manix liners are only aligned and parallel because of the lanyard tube and its flared shape in the G10 scales. The additional standoff makes me feel I can grab the knife hard when needed. Also makes it easy to center the blade, BTW. And - with sceletonized liners and new scales a reversible mod.

That's a good idea! I have a milled Ti back-spacer, on one of my M2's, and I like it. It's different, and nice to have on one of my M2's.
I have to ask. Why do you choose to place the additional spacer there? Instead of just ahead of the lanyard hole.

To be more accurate, I added a "standoff". It's behind the lanyard hole because of the way the liners are sceletonized. You can somehow see it in the picture - behind the lanyard is an drop-shaped cutout in the liners, where the standoff fits perfectly.SteveMidwest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 8:46 pmI have to ask.

I was just doing some inventory counts at work and my reminder went off on my phone. Totally forgot about it! Was about to post on here but see you beat me to it. I wasn't going to get this, but it's such a good price!

Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
These are the times that I hate being at the mercy of the federal budget... Those tools in Washington have refused to work together, so now I'm on a tight budget. How can I justify this purchase?
:confused:
The wife wouldn't like it, but at least resale value won't drop anytime soon. I've also been selling off those knives that I don't use, so that has helped a fair bit.
To buy or not to buy, that is the question...

Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
I hear ya. I'm also on the fence about this one. I prefer the PM2 and am eagerly awaiting the DLT M390 re-release. But at $30 less than the PM2, with this steel and nice red G10...it's tugging at me!attila wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 9:08 amThese are the times that I hate being at the mercy of the federal budget...

Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
I went ahead and bought one. The price was irresistible!
11:08 and it looks like they're out of stock already.

Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
Man, I got one, but I definitely didn't think they would sell out that fast...
So it goes.

Wow, that was the fastest sell-out in history. Less than 10 minutes. Well, I guess that saves me money.

Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
Pretty quick! Good for DLT. I think there are only 800, so I guess a quick sell out doesn’t surprise me.
Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
I had just decided to grab one as I was talking to Jordan at about 7 mins after the hour. He said they'd sold 500 of their 800 piece run by that point. After hanging up, they were all gone. :eek:

Well that was fast! I tried to get one on my lunch hour and they were already sold out. If you bought two, send me a PM. I'll take one off your hands.
Make time for the important things in life, and learn to enjoy the little things more.
Re: Red G10 20CV Manix 2 - DLT EXCLUSIVE
< 10min must be a record for a Manix.
There is an M390 Manix 2 coming at GPK (both satin and DLC, i.e., C101GPBN2 and C101GPBNBK2), for anybody who missed this one.
And I thought Colorado would only do US steels going forward :)
