FYI: Knifeworks accepting pre-orders for S90V Manix XL Tuesday....

I talked to someone from KW this morning and they are keeping the preorder open for the full 800. How long do you think these will last?

 

The up coming Yojimbo 2 S90V price will be much higher than this Manix 2XL S90V
Probably will pass the Yojimbo 2 S90V

 

Probably 20 bucks more would be my guesstimate. Either way it'll be another 250 dollar hit on my already weary credit card.

 

I got one... I consider the price fair for the knife. Heck, these things are like gold! (Actually, based on its performance this year, I would say they are better than gold...) I prolly should've ordered two...

 

It will be interesting to see...
IIRC the green Para2's sold out in a week, the fastest sellout that I am aware of. "Sprint hysteria" has continued to increase so even though the Manix isn't as desirable as something like the PM2, I wouldn't be surprised if it sells out in less than a week.

 

Just talked to someone over at KW and she said they sold about 250-300 already. Not bad for 24 hours.

 

No not me. The regular version is IMO the best value on the market hands down so addin the goodins and charging dbl is fine with me. You can barely find tawain made normal production Southards for that price. S90V, CF, Larger, USA made, oh yea, helluva deal. Was sad I couldnt justify a 0888 for $500 but then these came out same day and I got two for a $100 less then 1 0888!! Life is good.

 

^^^
That's the spirit! $190-ish was what I thought but gotta look at the bright side.

 

I prepped myself for full msrp on this bad boy

 

Is payment required now or can you pay when they ship?

 

Not sure. Shoot them an email, they are very quick at getting back to ya.

 

I just ordered one. I wasn't even planning on getting one; but I have wanted to try the Manix design with the ball bearing lock for a while since I'm a fan of the Axis lock. The carbon fiber is always a plus for me, and with s90v, I'm happy enough to pay for all of those features. To those on the fence, they will be at least $250 on the exchange once they are sold out. Then you will really be kicking yourself.

 

That's pretty much why I ordered one. I gasp to think what they will be on the bay.

 

ETA for Yojimbo2 S90V changed to late 2014, base on KW web.

 

Got my shipping notice from KW this afternoon. It just might show up Saturday. Looking forward to my first knife with S90V steel and it doesn't hurt that it comes in one of my favorite Spyderco's.

 

Gotta have it!!

 

seeing how much s90v and carbon fiber PM2s and militarys have been going for recently on ebay, I am picking up 2 of these bad boys...

 

Mine is in the mail now, probably will be in my mail box on Saturday
