OMG the fluid motion of the manix 2 is just like nothing else I've ever tried

When I started buying real knives my first purchase was a manix 2 lightweight. Then is started looking at alllllll the other brands and knifes out there but in the and after many years i realized my first real knife was actually the best of all for me and for edc. Wish I knew then would have saved me a lot of money 😅. But now I carry the manix 2 always together with the native 5 lightweight and I love them. I do love my TRM Shadow to but that’s a difficult knife to obtain so for the beginner out there don’t hesitate and just start with Spyderco and you’ll be fine for many many years. Cheers and thx for the excellent vids.

You got the good lightweight version! Torx screws instead of rivets! It is such a wonderful knife. The xl is also great. Closing the blade can be cumbersome tho
@The_commonman Жыл бұрын
I agree, after using it for some time, i realize it’s a little bit awkward to disengage the lock

There's never been a bad lightweight version. I've been rocking my OG lightweight in BD1 steel for the past ten years. People get too wrapped up in the rivets and cleaning the knife.

@@alexcole2078 some people like to customize their knives so it’s the better option. Maintaining your knife is never bad either. Nobody wants rusted parts or gunk in between

@@tgonzalez1983 nobody customizes manix LW because of the rivet construction, I get it. But if you're getting a knife to customize you have the G10 variant. Keeping a rivet knife clean is easy, it just takes a different approach. Treat it like a firearm and wash the gunk away with solvents. Cleaning with solvents is generally easier than disassembling a knife anyways. Like I said, over 10 years with the OG BD1, and that BD1 steel isn't rusting unless you show it some serious neglect, that somewhat polished stonewash finish is to thank for that I believe.

@@alexcole2078 can’t tighten loosened rivets either. Who knows? Maybe rust develops on the metal stop bar or whatever really. People like tinkering with their stuff & torx screws are way better

Hey, I was watching and saw your comment on the lack of sharpening choil. Someone high up at SpyderCo said once that none of their knives will have sharpening choils because it's a point where something you're cutting can slip into (like rope), thus interrupting the cut. If you want a coil, you can find tutorials online to add one yourself, though kiss your warranty goodbye...
@The_commonman8 ай бұрын
Interesting, and it’s not a bad reason.. but yes for warranty reasons alone I don’t think I’d go that route. Thanks!

Another disinterested ‘Spyderco knife’ guy here, due to esthetics, but for some reason it’s calling me hard in the past two weeks😅. About to grab a G10 Manix for 1st Spyderco & American company☝️

I got a G10 S30V version and a REX 45 LW. Love them both but the LW feels better as an edc imo. I plan on putting the REX blade on a pair of GOAT scales I ordered. And using the S30v with the white LW scales as my work knife.

Now that the Manix has screwtogether construction, does anyone know if there are aftermarket scales??? I am gonna pick it up in hopes I can keep it lighter than the Manix 2 but with carbon fiber or some other scale material.
