Wait... they're making a FFG model?
A few of the initial knives for the pilot run have a FFG, but the regular production Manix 2 won't have it. However, Sal has hinted that we may see the FFG in future sprint runs with different steels.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).

Am I missing anything?
I ordered a Manix 2 from knifecenter, which indicated they were in stock. This was not true, and they sent me an email telling me to cool my jets. So they can bite my ankle. I don't deal with vendors who pretend to have items in stock but do not.
I'll wait a while for the feeding frenzy to die down, and by then I may want something else anyway.
:thumbdn:
Blargh. I just checked my email, and they pulled the same garbage with me. Well, I finally give KnifeCenter a chance, and this is what happens. Yet one more reason why New Graham gets 95% of my business. "1 to 2 business days before the knife ships" Hmmm. We'll see about that.
I've had very good results ordering from Knifecenter. I don't order brand new just released items though, mostly it's stuff that's been around for a bit. Not all knives too, some Surefires, some random stuff.
For the true bleeding edge of the Spyderco frenzy you have to go with Tom.
+1 for Tom Berry. I placed all my preorders with him months ago. He let me know last week that my Manix was due today at his business. I also preordered a Sage RIL and got a Moteng Lum too, all due to him in the next couple days or so so I am waiting for all three before he ships. I may have all three by early nexct week. Who knows, maybe Saturday is possibleI also have preordered with him, two Leafstorms, two Ti Militarys and two Chokwes. Tom rocks.
Could be worse. My boss collects Harleys. They sit in a garage.![]()
