OK, so the photo quality is crappy compared to Yablonawitz's famous Millie Wheel, but so what?

As you can see, so far I have one of every variant except for the combo edge---and I don't see myself EVER buying one of those. You can also see that they are all users (well, I haven't actually used the pink one yet).

I LOVE the Manix 2!

Its nice to see from the wear on those clips that you are actually using those puppies. A knife that sees some action is a happy knife.
 
I usually don't care for the foliage green that much, but I think it looks good with all the jimping on the Manix2.

Part of the wear stems from the fact that the Manix clips all come from the factory with a shiny finish, so I have to blacken them myself. I've been using the Brownell's baking lacquer but it doesn't hold up quite as well as whatever Sal uses at the factory.

Much Better with a Black clip.

No. See post #10 above yours. I never thought about buying them.

Hmmm.....so Sal or Kristi, how much for a dozen black Manix clips? Why a dozen, you ask? So I can be ready for the next six sprint runs!
 
nice pic

but your actually missing two if you count the FFG pilot run of like 50 pcs, but those babies are pretty hard to come by

I didn't even know it existed, but since it wasn't an actual production model I don't think I'll feel all that bad about missing out on it. I'm really not a collector so much as I'm just a big fan of the design. The M2 is my favorite knife at the moment.

I suspect that once the Superleaf comes out I may have a new favorite.
 
Would you mind if I post a Manix wheel here? I have this problem of buying knives in pairs in case I really love it I have an extra. I have another pair due in tomorrow which will bring the total up to 8 (all sprint runs). I have only used one of them, the S90V, but love the design as well.

I didn't think I would ever beat the number of Benchmade Rift I own as it is my all time favorite knife and I had 7 of them. I will probably sell off a couple as I don't need 8 and doubt I will ever use the pink ones. But I will definitely be taking a picture of the group while I have them all.

I vote for another Manny Wheel! :thumbup:

Any kind of wheel makes us knife guys/gals drool...

Go for it Ryan. Maybe your will actually have the blade tips aligned correctly, unlike mine.

It's amazing how I don't see those things when I'm looking through the viewfinder but they're so obvious when I look at the photo.
