same here! I cant wait, just one more day :D
 
Sounds good, I cant wait to get it. i just wish i could find more pics of it.
 
i just got my Manix today from NGK. It's my first (and deffinately not last) Spyderco i've bought. This thing feels soo good in my hand and it deffinately has to be the sharpest knife i own. I love it! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:
 
The Manix is rino tough. The sound of it opening and closing is very gtatifying. I like the Manix blade shape over any other.
Should you find the regular Manix too big, the 80MM is just as tough in a 3" + blade.
 
Well doneon your new Spyder.:p :p
You wont be sorry, My Manix has a permanent place in my pocket.
 
I like mine but prefer the Chinook 2.

The Manix is a little wide in the pocket for me. Or maybe there's just less space in there 'cos of an expanding waist line.:)

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN!!!!

There were two guys working for the city. One would dig a hole; the
other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked
furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the other guy
filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what
they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I appreciate the effort
you are putting into your work, but what's the story? You dig a hole and
your partner follows behind and fills it up again."

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Eish, normally we are a
three-man team, but the guy who plants the trees, he is sick today!"

That's and excellent choice. Mine has become my favorite EDC.
 
I recently purchased the 80mm Manix. It is one solid folder. I love it. It really wacks when it opens. I find it is very easy to carry in the tip up position.

I have been looking at pics of the manix online waiting for mine to arive from CrocBlades. I just hope it doesnt get stuck to long at Canadian customs.
 
The Manix replaced my S30V Military as my "serious" knife a few months ago (I also tote any one of a number of SAKs everywhere as well). I have a Chinook II, and even though I love it, it doesn't seem nearly as practical as an EDC to me as either the Military or the Manix. I did haul it along on a coastal black bear hunt in Alaska this spring, however (I actually got the knife especially for the trip), and it provided yeoman service in skinning those bruins (all six of us that went got a bear, mine being by far the smallest, but at least I was the first one to score!). I actually consider the Manix a better defensive knife than the Chinook II, though I certainly make no claims to expertise in this area, and I'd be well pleased with either one.

The Military gets carried at home since I immediately change into jogging shorts upon arriving home from work, and the Military being much lighter than the Manix, works better for this. I consider the Military the ultimate jogging knife as well, and it has logged many a mile with me with nary a problem.

The Manix indeed has a very manly sound to it when it snaps closed, but it is put to shame by my Chinook II in this regard. Most satisfying, that sound.
