I don't post much, so for all I know, maybe this has been posted already, maybe they are available everywhere and I am the last to realize it, or maybe nobody cares. Any which way, there you go!

Thanks for the heads up, This is a distributor exclusive and has been run before! Good looking knife 🙂
 
This is the first Manix 2 in my collection. Been carrying it for 2 days now, really impressed!
 
On dealer's shelves at the moment. One of my favorite steels in a Manix 2.

Same here. The steel has been a pleasure to use. I replaced the cage with a Ti flytanium one and swapped the spring and now the sucker flies open with a spydie flick!

Nice! I swapped the G10 for Putnam grooved micarta scales. After, the plastic cage kept catching and would stick in the locked position. Drove me nuts.

Ended up upgrading to a titanium ball cage, Si3N4 ceramic bearing, and reduced rate spring...That makes a HUGE difference! So smooth and no more issues.

Tips on where to find ceramic bearings and those springs? I just got my m390 Manix and I love everything about it - besides the fact that it takes TWO hands to unstick the *#%@ lock! Since I purchased it as much for its fidget factor as for its amazing blade, I’m hoping to remedy this. Is Flytanium the only cage replacement or do folks have other options they like also? Any noticeable difference between titanium copper and brass in terms of function?

Bearings and springs are sold by some dealers on eBay. I can't give you any advise on the ball cages. I only have experience with the titanium cage from Flytanium.
 
Anyone have any suggestions for a better pocket clip. I have a Manix 2 LW BD1N and just got the Manix 2 G10 M390. Really impressed with both, but the pocket clip on the M390 is just not what I wanted. Love the solid feel of the G10 scales, and the improved action compared to the stiffness of the pinned LW, but that clip... just plain "yuck". If anyone has a realistic solution please let me know? After market pocket clip (that isn't $100 plus) or something like that?

LynchNW if you like deep carry. I'm slowly transitioning all of my Spydercos to them, two or three clips at a time.

I've also used MXG Gear clips on knives by other makers and would have no hesitation using them on Spydercos if I wasn't trying to keep the LynchNW look consistent, hah. Both are quality.
