Any rumors about another Manix sprint run?

They have done way more Paramilitary 2 sprints. I think they could cook up a couple more Manix sprints.

I think you are off there, bud. By your count there are 8 Manix 2 sprints versus 6 Para 2 sprints. There were also the pink Manix 2, and the dark green Stag Arms Manix 2, bringing the total to 10 Manix 2 sprints at least. Well, sort of - we are counting sprints and dealer exclusives in the same totals.
 
I stand corrected, but I'd like to see more than just a G10 color change. We're having at least 4 Para sprints this year, where's the love for the Manix?

One has to ask if Spyderco has the capacity to do a sprint in Manix2. Remember, they are a much smaller company compared to KAI enterprise or Benchmade. They might be running overtime already with the P2 demand for sprints. Maybe if that demand goes down they might do a Manix2 sprint again. My M4 sprint is ordered. Love everything about that one :) so I am happy.

The Manix 2 is still very much loved. The Para 2 is a newer design and the subsequent sprints are selling like hotcakes. Spyderco is running at maximum capacity with all of the projects going on. Just a guess but there is probably no room on their dance card for a Manix 2 run in the near future. I would bet that the next sprint in the Manix family would be via the Manix XL. I would be all over a CF S90V Manix XL.
 
I had an XL for a week and couldn't get used to it. I might get another if they make a good sprint! :)
