This is my favorite Spyderco. I have owned it since 2010, and it sits life in a drawer. The fit and finish is spectacular. Its truly a beast. I wish they still made the Manix like this.

Yep, I've got a Manix and Manix 2. The Manix is a hell of a knife, but it was just too heavy. The blade is chunky to say the least. I switched to the Manix 2 and then a Delica.
Now my everyday carry is a Manbug.

I've got the manix 2 and it's been great. I carry it over my zt350. It's bigger but carries nicer.

Have you ever handled a really good custom folder?

When I first got into knives I went to my first USN Gathering years ago with $600 to spend on a knife. After looking around all day I walked out with a Manix 2. Plenty of other stuff caught my eye but you either couldn't buy it or had to win a raffle to get the sane price. Since then I've owned 20-30 customs and midtechs in the $300-$1000 range. Last year I kind of got bored having a pelican full of stuff I didnt use much and sold everything but the Manix 2, a Military and a Para 2.
For a good solid normal use pocket knife its hard to beat Spyderco. If I could only have one knife it would be the Manix 2 as its a little beefier than the Military or Para. I do miss the Mosier I sold though. There is a difference with the real quality custom stuff. |

I'm a Spyderco fan. Something about stainless steel liners and g10.
Forgot to add: beautiful knife, OP. |

How are the slide locks on the current Manix 2s? Comparable to the Benchmark Axis lock?

How are the slide locks on the current Manix 2s? Comparable to the Benchmark Axis lock? Pretty close in action. The CBBL uses a ball bearing instead of a bar. There are weak spots for each type of lock. The cage part of the CBBL is plastic. The springs on the Axis lock are sometimes known to fail. |
