As I mentioned in my previous thread, I have been given the runaround by Campsmarter after ordering and paying for a manix 2 xhp. After telling me it would be delivered in 3 months, now they tell me 3 more months. I am going to cancel and get a refund. I am wondering in anyone knows of a vendor taking preorders for the next batch? Thanks....
 
Have all of them been released? Campsmarter tells me they will releasing more the end of the summer?!? More BS? It would be nice if someone from Spyderco could confirm whether or not the entire run has been released....Thanks to all you reply...
 
You're best bet is to look here on the exchange. There seem to be quite a few for sale as of late. Good luck.

In theory, more are coming later this year, if I understood posts at Spyderco Forums. In practice, some of the bigger dealers stopped taking back orders a while back because they weren't sure they were going to get enough to fill back orders they already had. Any dealer that does get some of these is going to sell out fast. If I really wanted one, I'd buy one on the "used" market now while prices are reasonable. I think that once they're really sold out prices are likely to climb.
 
Create a post in the Wanted To Buy forum. Someone will respond sooner rather than later.
 
I just picked up the regular 154CM G10 version on the weekend and saw the version you're talking about right there in the display counter.

Is the one you're looking for the green G10 with CTS-XHP steel? If so it's on sale for $165 Cdn where I got my regular one at S&R Knives.

EDIT - S&R Knives has an internet store - here's the page for the CTS-XHP version in case you want to order from them:

In fairness, I don't think your knife dealer is giving you a runaround. The knife you are referring to is a sprint run by Spyderco. Knife dealers don't usually get inventory control on sprint runs. It's been said, Spyderco will produce 1,000 of this Manix 2 CTS-XHP Flat ground blade. My understanding is more will be in stock this summer. So don't cancel your name just yet. But if you want to get the Manix now, you will always find some on the exchange every now and then. Good luck.
