I own one Manix 2 lightweight. I love it but I also love every Spyderco knife that I own.

@@richardvirchow3390 Spyderco makes great knives!!! Thanks for watching

[@colinburgess9455]

I own a pm 2 and a manix 2 I found both uncomfortable with extended use, I haven’t picked either up in years. People used to rave over them, I’m over them, in fact I’ve gone full circle I’m a fixed blade guy again. I’ve pocket carried a fixed blade since before it was a big thing.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@colinburgess9455 that's awesome man, they ain't for everyone. Alot of people don't like Spyderco at all, and that's alright. I've used/owned alot of knives, and for me, far as folding knives go I really like the manix?, but your 100% correct, if comfortable ergonomics are what matters most, a fixed blade is hard to beat. Thanks for watching.

[@ergezinger]

Agreed. The Manix 2 is probably the best all-around folder i own. And, the ball bearing lock is my favorite folding knife lock, reliability, smoothness, consistency, firm detente, all top notch.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@ergezinger that's awesome!! Thank you!! It's so cool how many others get what I was saying, and agree with the manix. It's such a good knife!!

[@ayobro3055]

Nope, sage 5 is better. way better blade to handle ratio.

Been looking at getting a Manix 2 for so long. Guess I need to just buy the damn thing

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@disco4535 the locking mechanism will be the only thing that may cause you grief. But give it a fair shake, give it a little time before you dismiss it and I think you will be happy. It's a great knife, i wouldn't want to be without one. Thanks for watching! I appreciate ya

After trying everything else, it's true. I have found myself coming back to my Manix 2.

[@jessicuhwilde2921]

The Manix is a little too big for me to EDC but I agree it is great! My personal favorite is the Para 3.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@jessicuhwilde2921 The Para 3 is a fantastic choice, thanks for watching!

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

Thats a collection im envious of. Just perfect. I prefer the wire clip 😂

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@mrmouse-ol9pw thank you so much 🙏 i like the looks of the wire clip, and it works well, i guess i just don't like how it shifts back and forth a little bit.. not a big deal, just ocd probably lol, thanks for watching!!

[@EDCandLace]

Absolutely couldn't agree more. The manix is the only knife that one needs. I've called it the single best EDC knife design on the market since it came out. The st nicks 4v drops they have pretty much done every of the popular models in. I have the entire run to date!

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@EDCandLace so cool to hear from like minded people who get it! I know I'm going to get some comments from people saying "well my Shiro this , and my Koenig that" i wish I would have explained my point a little better, but so far, you and a couple others really get what I was trying to say, and that's really cool!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Ps, that's awesome having all the St.Nicks exclusives , the manix and pm2 are all i have left it that config.

@Wcquick well thank you!, I'm glad your here, and thanks for watching!

[@sodalines]

i feel the same way about the old school military by spyderco. i like the military 2 but the og is where its at for me.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

For sure, I have told several people that I could have used the same video title for a handful of different Spydercos. Probably the biggest one I've seen people challenge me and the manix 2 with is the Native, and those people are right, the Native, military, sage could all fall under this title, for me though it's the manix 2. The og military is fantastic! I had to sell mine a while back and miss it dearly. And I don't know if i would like the military 2.... Anyway, thanks for watching buddy, hope you and yours are doing well

[@Ok15402]

I wanted a manix 2 but waited until got the right one. Saw a listing online for a Manix 2 LW in Magnacut and instantly picked it up. Threw on lighter spring/ball kit and AWT aluminum scales. Its one of my favorite knives.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@Ok15402 I have got to try some AWT scales, alot of people like them.

[@Ok15402]

@@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet They are really good quality! I highly recommend them. I get the Anodized version personally, I know they have a cerakote version too.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@Ok15402 I think what I'll do is wait until I can buy a new lightweight model in a steel I like, and order the scales at the same time. Unfortunately, all my lightweight versions are pinned construction. Thinking about it now, i will likely go the same route you did with the Magnacut, I don't have enough Magnacut in my life as it is.

[@Ok15402]

@@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet I'm glad spyderco changed the newer LW models so you can take them apart easier now. I know the old ones were pinned. Best of luck, hope you find the perfect steel, and enjoy those scales when you get them.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@Ok15402 thank you!, maybe I'll fumble through the install process and post it on my channel lol

[@kathrynhorn8095]

Yes the 15v is tough on the Knife Steel Nerds site it was told that after tempering it was 67+. Overall amazing collection, and I'm the same way with the Para 3.

[@1hunter45]

I highly recommend the Rockscale Design skinny Manix 2 scales.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@1hunter45 thank you, I'll have to check them out sometime. I'm not opposed to mods, it's just something I don't do often.

[@chriswebb3018]

One knife forever would be the manix2 for me as well. And i got some amazing knives that cost 5 times more and id still pick the manix2. My favorite scales for them are the AWT scales and a mxg clip and the metal ball cage

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@chriswebb3018 man that is so awesome to hear!! Same here, I have better looking knives, more expensive knives, etc. But you just can't beat the Manix2 as an all around do everything knife. So cool!!

[@deadvikingtrolls]

The lock is the manix 2's biggest problem. I have two of them also in cruwear, my favorite steel. I wanted to make it the knife I ended up with but the lock actually kind of sucks. The plastic cages do not feel good and necessitate aftermarket ones from flytanium and hope they don't rub funny. The spring tension you mentioned also hurts it because it requires two fingers to actuate and you're already fighting the curved butt of the knife for leverage to pull back. If it weren't for these faults I might have said that this is the best spyderco knife. As it stands that would be the native 5, basic but optimal.

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@deadvikingtrolls all valid points for sure, even if none bother me personally. But your absolutely right, the Native is a fantastic knife. I figure i could have used this video title for the sage, native, manix2, Pm2, and para3 and got similar responses. The aluminum cage that I got from flytanium worked fine, but I have heard differently several times. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the intelligent, valid comment. Beats the hell out of the guy screaming at me because the manix has poor blade to handle ratio... evidently that makes it garbage lol!, I told him if blade to handle ratio means that much to him, Spyderco may not be for him., again, thank you!

[@deadvikingtrolls]

The downward cutting angle of the blade is the manix 2's greatest strength. Pm2 has this to an extent but the manix 2 is the best spyderco knife at staying in the material you're cutting. Overall though, native 5.

[@leviweaver1058]

I have a manix in spy27 and I love it. I put the flytanium ceramic ball and titanium ball cage on mine. Do you ever mod any of yours?

[@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet]

@leviweaver1058 I did that exact mod on the fradon lock manix2 that I sold. It did make a difference for the better. But generally I don't mod things a whole lot. What about you? Are you into heavily modifying your knives? Yeah, the manix isn't the coolest knife, or best looking knife out there, but I truly believe it's one of the best everymans knives out there. I wouldn't want to go without one.

[@leviweaver1058]

I'm a tinkerer and mod pretty much everything I own. I haven't done a whole lot of modding on knives yet but I did those upgrades on the manix and I got a couple of lynch pocket clips for my godson and my tenacious lightweight and I got some skiff bearings to try in my ZT 0562 and my Arcane crypt.

I love most everything about the manix, but the manix lock and a benchmade 940 lock are the only locks that have ever failed me. From spyderco now i would take a stretch 2 or bradley 2 over a manix. Price considered and if someone asked me for a “one knife” solution to beat on id prob recommend a cold steel american lawman.

Manix 2 is a trash knife. Horrible blade to handle ratio. I bought the mangacut one and resold it so quickly. Why is the handle so big compared to the blade. What a horrible idea from Spyderco. How to ruin your own design.

Blade to handle ratio means alot to you huh?, I bet you really hate the pm2 then 😂, it will be okay, your right, the sage is a good knife. Honestly if blade to handle ratio means so much to you, Spyderco probably isn't your bag. Luckily for you, there are lots of good knives out there.
