Mini Manix and BM Grip comparison pic?

[DanMan4142]

Anyone have any pics of the mini manix with a full sized grip? I am considering the manix but would like to see it next to my current EDC.
Thanks a ton

Here's a decent side by side pic. I'm out of town right now, so I can't take any better ones till tomorrow. If you need more pics let me know. Both are great knives, two different animals though. IMHO, I don't think you'd be disappointed with the Mini Manix.

Thanks a lot TxTroubleMaker for the pic. About how do the two knives compare thickness wise? I understand that the Manix is heavier but I am just trying to get a good feel for its overall "bulk" etc. It sure looks like a great knife and I have this sneaky suspicion that i'll end up with one in my pocket before long....haha.
Thanks

Daniel

TxTroubleMaker can speak for himself, but I find the mini-manix much bulkier and heavier in the pocket than the griptilian. Nothing wrong with the mini-manix, especially if you are a workin' man in need of a hefty piece of steel. For my urban, office guy type of EDC, I prefer the light weight and smoother, less angular profile of the Grip. JMO.

Edited: when comparing them side by side, the size and weight seem more or less the same. Its the more angular, seemingly bulkier profile of the mini-manix that makes it seem bigger in the pocket.

how wide is the mini manix when closed? i mean from the top of the blad to the bottom of the handle. it looks really wide, but a beautiful knife

1 3/4" for the MM vs. 1 5/16" on the Grip. Maybe thats where some of that somewhat bulky feel (to me) comes from.

I have the Mini Manix and think it's an incredible EDC. My first Spyderco!

Not as heavy as you would think and well built, like a tank, with an easy opening, nicely designed blade.

In my jeans, the Mini Manix disappears w/o excess bulk and w/o any dificulty concealing. It's in my jean's pocket as I write.

I've got an M2 Ritter Grip coming and look forward to comparing the two. When I demo'ed another Grip it felt lighter then the Mini Manix. However, the lockup of the Mini Manix is really solid with excellent ergonomics.

Big thumbs up recommendation for the Mini Manix. :thumbup:

Thanks for the awesome pictures and all of the info guys. the manix looks like one heck of a sweet knife. Now I just have to decided if I can afford it or not.
