I have one of these on order. For under 100$ getting contoured G-10, S90V, and a deep carry clip from the factory looks like one hell of a value. Wondering if anyone here has had a chance to get one and get a full review done of one. Despite the specs it doesn't seem to have caught on much within the community but looks like it should dominate the space that something like the Native 5 exists in.

Love my Manly Wasp (12C27). Top quality, excellent design, fair price. Judging by that you'll be happy.

Manly Wasp
Im not 100% sure where to post this, but I gotta know...where are these slick looking slip joints coming from? Im looking to buy one, but all I’ve found online is the home page and a couple dealers I’m not familiar with. I’m not picky about steel choices, it sounds like their heat treat is spot...

Oh ya I already have mine on order. The specs were just too good to pass up. Thin stock, S90v, contoured g-10, backlock. Its a thinner ground, better steel, better scale version of the Native 5. Was just looking if some folks here who have gotten their hand on the City have an opinion one way or another.I started this thread when I was looking for mine….

I have one, but I don't have a review on it. I did read a review on this forum about them, though.
I really like mine. It was extremely tight when I received it. The grinds were good on the blade. I had to adjust the pivot, lubricate it, and open and close the knife about 200 times to smooth it out. Now, it is good.
One thing that I was disappointed in is the lack of communication with Manly. I sent three emails with no answers. Still have not heard from them. It also took a while to ship the knife and not the transit time- the actual time to ship the knife.
I have quite a few Manly knives, but since they closed the shop here in the USA, I don't think that I will buy any more. I am just not pleased with the process of ordering from Bulgaria.

I have one of their Patriot fixed blades from back when they had a presence in the US. Hoping the shipping isnt too much of a hassle though I am prepared for delays given the reality of everyone's shipping woes right now.
