Ok, based on the ergonomincs, blade shape and my favorite EDC steel... to me this would be my dream folder come true...

So how do we convince someone to get a sprint run of Manix in CPM M4????:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:


Oh I would love that knife so much:D:D:D
 
I want one of the notable Spydercos in a stonewashed blade finish next. I hope Spyderco is willing to consider that. I would buy a standard Military with M4 or the Para 2 or Manix 2 with a stonewashed blade in a heartbeat. I have this image in my head of the plain old Orange Military S30V with a stonewashed blade and the combination of the orange G10 with a stonewashed blade sounds tasty to me!

The Cutlery Shoppe Orange manix-2 is my dream manix. :D

The only way I can see to improve it would be to give it a stonewashed blade...Otherwise, perfect! :thumbup:
 
My dream Manix wouldn't be that much different from the current production model. The only thing I'd change would be to make the blade full flat ground. I'd keep 154CM, just want FFG.

Military - M390 steel (tumbled finish) - Blue G10

Very interesting, i have heard of a couple of new limited knives coming out in M390, but i know nothing of it. What can you tell me about it that makes it your dream steel for this knife?
 
Hey red devil about that

--- The blue has been done, bright blue at least - just not the steel your asking for.
Is m390 something different than n390? the european version of like the s30v or s90v whatever it was? i just remember it was a strong good steel up there with the higher ups.

-- As for another blue mind I remind you of the sage 3 coming out? it has a NAVY BLUE g10 - I am so excited for this!!! A navy blue is an awesome idea imo. And adds to the exclusivity imo.

Just a few heads up for ya :p I know its not the steels you want, but at least the colors :p. If you REALLY want. you can buy two, one of the blues manix's, and a green CTS version, and swap scales. That way you have a super strong steel with a blue g10. Hows that sound :p[pretty damn good to me, I just dont have the funds lol

That would be my prefered knife at the moment. I got the M390 bug with a BM 710 that was released as a limited edition. The steel has been impressive in my usage. The Military and Para are (in my humble opinion) the perfect platform to use that particular steel. the blade shape and the rest of the dimensions on the handle would be a natural choice.

I was thinking along the lines of Yojimbo blue or the ZDP Stretch blue.
I have a few Manixs knives already, a couple gree, a couple all black, a blue, and a couple pink. The orange that are on the horizon for Christmas will be really nice.

Some 2 tone G10 (Blue/Black or Blue/Gray) would make for an interesting model as well. :thumbup:
 
Swapping scales on a Manix 2 is easier said than done. The lanyard hole liner is flared into place. It is possible though to swap blades from handle to handle

I love my Manix 2 in XHP. I would love one in M4 even more. :thumbup:

CF Manix2 in S110V or M4, stonewashed blade, Ti liners, ti ball cage (as long as it doesn't mess up the function), Ti clip.

Dreaming...
 
See, I knew this would happen. People are saying Manix when referring to the Manix 2, which is not a Manix.

My dream Manix is a real Manix with M4, especially if you tweaked the lockback with the Tri-Ad modification.
 
Hell yeah, M4.

Keep it G10, no need to bang the price through the roof for CF, micarta or any other expensive handle material. Original Manix would be great too. I love lockbacks.
 
M4 or 3V would do just fine. 3V has been mostly used for fixed blades due to it's great strength but IMO it also has the edge retention, and stability needed for a fine cutting, tough and wear resistant folder.

Of course CPM M4 does as well, trading a little toughness for more wear resistance.

They are both great, and take good edges easily due to their purity and grain structure.
 
I agree with Twindog and The Mastiff. Bring back the original Ffg lockback Manix in M4 for a Sprint Run.
 
Sign me up for an M4 Manix. My favorite steel ever in a knife platform that can take advantage of some of the extra toughness it has compared to 154CM or S30V. It's hard to say whether I'd like it more than my M4/Ti Millie, but it would be one of my all time favorites.

I will be interesting in CPM M4 Manix, as long as we are talking about C95
