We've seen blue, green, tan, orange, CF, pink, stag arms, and glow in the dark.

How about Ti scales with the ball bearing lock and M390? :D It would be heavy but oh so sweet.
 
I wouldn't be into Ti scales with steel liners. M390 and CF (smooth CF or peel-ply) or Canvas Micarta like on the Temp 2 would be preferable to me.
 
I'd also like to see another CF Manix 2 but mainly because I missed out on the first ones.

I think a dark charcoal gray with M390 or more S90V would be perfect. I'll take three!
 
I'd be up for anything that gets a Spyderco folder with M390 into our hands ASAP. :) CF is my favorite scale material, so like others have suggested, that's what I'd been keenest to see on a new Manix 2 sprint. Since they already did peel-ply CF on the S90V Manix 2, smooth or twill CF (a la the Gayle Bradley) would a nice change of pace.

Another possibility, which came to mind when writing that last sentence about twill CF, would be silver twill G-10.
 
Think the ti would be slick when you go to close one handed ......unless they made a fluted ti manix with cpm3v .the ultimate hard use folder sicccckkkk

I second this notion!! Lightning Strike CF would look sick as well. Or CF bolsters and Silver Twill G-10 scales.
 
Full Ti handles with some texturing and M390 would be pretty badass. The price tag on the other hand.... :rolleyes:

Also, I'm wondering if such a knife might not need full length steel liners. Perhaps the areas where the jimping protrudes on the M2 could be done with smaller steel pieces set into pockets milled out on the inside of the slabs. I don't know whether or not Ti would work the same as steel for the area where the BBL tracks so maybe there'd be a need for a steel inset there as well. Of course that extra machining and piece production I describe would just figure to add to the aforementioned price so maybe I should stop talking. ;)
 
For sure. It's easy to just put another color G10 on the machine. The Moonglow was not so easy; going to titanium would need new tooling...$$$...

I'd like to see a maroon G10 with M390. I'd be willing to bet Spyderco can provide an awesome HT on that steel.

Think you'd loose your shirt but I'm sure if you're willing to sponsor it, Sal would do it.
 
Play-doh handles, light-saber blade?

Just kidding...how bout an S110v FFG blade with Lightning Strike CF?

Make this Ti Manix by me.Think Spyderco should make it perfect,maybe with M390?
I am pleased with my work,concentric blade 6g lighter than orginal.
Take 3mm Ti but must polish the scales befor i reanodized again,you can see every scratch.
Don`t want do make smooth gentleman folder,manix is going by me as a hard worker,
but the jimping is not so much aggressive at it looks like.The jimping on some liner locks hurts me more.
The clip is on my prefer possition,i am not a left hand,but i like it inside if i use the knife for hard work.
My ring finger is exactly in the curve of the clip.
And the lot of jimping
will help you never lost the grip,and if you have it much like
this one you must not make the jimping so aggressive(i sandblastet my) opposite
you have a smal jimping!
The smaler handle is not a problem for me,because 3mm ti feels
very strong and save weight.
