I have been EDCing my translucent blue Manix 2 LW daily now for quite a while. It has become one of my most favorite knives. One of my favorite things about this knife is the translucent FRCP. In my humble opinion, this material is one of the most innovative knife materials out there, and has almost unlimited potential and applications for future models. I also started playing around with the colors to see what else looked good. I thought it would be fun to take an informal poll and see what color or colors you guys would like to see next. Maybe someone will be listening :D
*These models obviously don't exist yet but easily could.

**I would be extremely remiss if I did not give credit to MarcusH on the Spyderco Forum. He posted some excellent photos of his Manix 2 LW in 2012 and posted an image of his "toxic green" version, which sparked my creativity. Wonderful pics MarcusH, your photoshop skills are much better than mine.

Because clear and pink have been discussed, I've added my versions of those as well. My clear isn't as crystal clear as the original proto from Spyderco but that was a proof of concept and I'm only working with software :)

I like the green. Black and blue ones that you did up. If I had to choose one it would be a translucent green.
 
I like the two on the right, the darker green and charcoal. The orange is very interesting!
 
Turquoise (or teal, whatever) and purple.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few models other than the Manix in the translucent handles.

Click to expand...

More models would be cool.

To the OP, I would like to see a pink for breast cancer (save the breasts! And yes I plan on buying and carrying a pink N5 when they are released, if anything to spark a conversation.)

Another idea would be multi color. Green and gold maybe? Just because I am a Packer fan. :D
 
HOT PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The green and purple are cool also.
 
Okay, I can't take it anymore. I have wanted one for a while and am done with waiting, so blue it is. But the moment I do, I just know I am gonna see one of those red ones pop up as a sprint run.
 
That pic above looks like a pack of Flavor Ice...I would like to see a tan version, but not translucent.

A side note, has anyone tried using RIT dye on FRCP? It works well on FRN but I haven't heard of anyone trying it on FRCP.
 
All of these knives look insanely awesome. I hope Spyderco is listening to what the consumers are interested in. This line would make even more of a killing if they came out with all of these colors. Not just one or two of them, ALL OF THEM. But keep the pricing the same. LISTEN UP SPYDERCO.
