Hey guys
I finally scored a NIB Spyderco C95GPS Manix off of evil bay two weeks ago.I've been waiting for it to arrive in the mail for about two weeks and it arrived today.
Now this is the strongest production folder I've ever held in my hands-bar none.:thumbup:It's a big folder-I love it!!
I've heard some people raving about this knife and everything is true.When I found out it was discontinued by Spyderco
I was disappointed ,as I wanted to see and feel one in my hands to see what the hype was all about.
This folder is just about perfect for me-big, great steel, great ergonomics (even though I've got relatively small hands for a guy) it fits my hand perfectly,very grippy G-10 slabs and a proven, strong lock. This thing is rock solid:thumbup:
I've EDC a Spyderco Police C07STi for the last 8 years and I love that knife but this Manix is going to retire the Police to the safe
and be my new EDC folder.
The only thing that could improve the Manix in my mind would be a larger pivot and lengthen the blade to 4 inches. Other than that it's perfect-I'm so happy I've been playing and admiring it all day
I was hoping that Spyderco would re-release the Manix, but when I found out here on the forum that a new Manix 2 was in the works I became optimistic that I'd buy the new version....until I saw the new Manix 2 photos that is.
The new Manix 2 was very disappointing to me-I'd never buy one-especially with that new cheap plastic lock button.
I don't know why Spyderco discontinued the old Manix-not enough sales maybe?? I would easily have paid twice what I paid
for this Manix.
Anyways, I'm so happy with my new EDC Manix that I want to buy another just to have as a backup in the highly unlikely event I could break this beast.
Great design Sal-maybe bring back the original Manix for a sprint run

and afford to become a collector.
