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 Gotcha, have around 160 Spyderco knives 🤦♂️😅 fell down the hole a couple years ago. Now maybe one a month. Just grabbed the Native Chief salt lw plain edge. Great knife. I’ve been into bigger blades lately like the Native chiefs,police 4 lw and Military 2’s. But I still like the manix 2 a lot and have quite a few of them.👍🏻
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.
For me it’s the native 5. I love that knife. I have 2 of them that were lw versions and I put AWT scales on and they are great. I carry my Magnacut one daily no matter what else I have.
@joshuanapier855 the Native would probably be second for me, but it is a fantastic knife! Thanks for watching! I need to try some AWT scales, they look awesome!
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!
@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.
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.
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.
@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!!
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
@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!!
@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.
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. Now i’ll take a stretch 2 or bradley 2 over a manix
@markovgamingjaegernaut6471 metonboss zirc scales are on my short list of things to get. I really like all their stuff. And yeah, the Manix is just hard to beat!! Thanks for watching!
@earlwoods8253 and your a better human being for it!! Lol, thanks for watching!, Ps, I use to think i didn't like the lightweight models, I love them now, still prefer g10, but the lightweight are absolutely good to go
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. Calling the manix a trash knife because it doesn't have your idea of blade to handle ratio speaks volumes. Thanks for watching
@@Shanes_Sharp_Sheet 'it doesn't have your idea of the blade to handle ratio speaks volumes" 🤓 . That's why i only protechs and look at the specs before i purchase. Spyderco needs to do better. The handle on the manix 2 should've been smaller to match the blade size.
@ayobro3055 it's perfectly fine that you don't like the manix, the sage is a great knife as well. The only thing I disagree with you on is calling the manix a trash knife, but we can agree to disagree. I wish I would have bought your manix lol! Thanks for watching bro!, chill out, you don't have to be so negative and angry lol
