Both of mine are melted buttery smooth.

Wish I could say the same. I've had $8 Ganzos that blow this out of the water in terms of smoothness. My S110V and BD-1 Manix's are both perfect too, wish this one matched up. Oh well, it happens.
 
No pics yet, but this is my first Spyderco and I’m impressed. It’s nicely centered, evenly ground and sharp. I really like the materials chosen for this run — nice job DLT. I’m used to Axis locks and this lock feels much stiffer, but other than pulling the lock back the action is smooth. It’s bigger than I thought it would be, so it won’t be going to work with me but i’ll Take it hiking.

I’d love to see a Para 3 in this configuration.

I'll gladly buy it off of you if you want to get rid of it....

Nah, pass. Also, you actually wanna buy a 3rd one? I mean I get wanting 1, maybe even 2(one for carry, 1 for collection maybe), but...what would you want with a 3rd one?

The caged ball bearing lock (CBBL) on the Manix 2 is much stiffer than the Axis lock and it will likely not soften over time. You'll just have to get used to it. On the flip side, it is more securer than the Axis lock in closed position - much less easier to shake open than the Axis lock.
 
Got mine yesterday, DLT has thier act together! Fast, Great Exclusive, did I mention Fast? Alway's my top dealer! Fit and finish on point. Love that red.
Now, if I could get my DLT PM2 M390:)
Love the family atmosphere here in this forum:rolleyes:
 
Mine arrived last night along with the snakewood GEC 14 I picked up... a lot of knife fondling was happening last night. LOL.

Beautiful specimens, great work getting these out so fast DLT! My first purchase from you guys but definitely more to come!

Also less likely to have the spring break than the Omega springs.
 
My first Manix series Spyderco. Nice grind, sharp out of the box and even bevels. Made a few passes on my strop with .25 emulsion and it doesn't disappoint.

I'm sure glad that I got home a half hour too late & these were all sold out by the time I got online. I thought I really wanted one, but now that they're actually in people's hands, I can see that they're really, really ugly, and probably not even close to Spyderco's normal high standards.

(Sour grapes:))

I think this statement would be mostly false. Both of mine were perfect in every way. Most others have been great as well. Yes, sour grapes...

Sorry. I guess my feeble attempt at humor didn't go as planned. I thought the Sour Grapes & smiley face would make it evident that I was joking. I was looking forward to getting one of these, but just didn't make it.
 
I never handled a Manix 2 prior til receiving this beauty today.
Centering is perfect!

I love the color combo, but learned the Manix 2 is just a little too large for my needs. I prefer the size of a Para 3, so it needs a good home and is now in the Trading Forum. :thumbsup:

On the other hand, folks are offering their spares at cost, on this sub-forum. To my amazement, 91bravo 91bravo was supremely generous, a member of our community. He did me a solid, and we have never met, living literally an ocean apart. It is not the first time that a great member has helped me out on this amazing site, @Dopic1, and I am truly humbled.

Scott, Jonny, you are the best.

That's what forums are supposed to be about! A sense of community, where we help each other out, not price GOUGE the sh*t out of someone for a personal profit...
 
Mine was supposed to arrive by 8pm today but I am still without my Manix 2 :(. Guess I'll just have to keep looking at everyone else's pictures to hold me over and pray they deliver it tomorrow before the snow storm hits.
