No, not even close.
"Dear Spyderco Customer,
At times it seems like Spyderco is the king of Sprint Runs. Offering short-
term, limited number releases, Sprints do two things. They resurrect a
previously discontinued classic you may have owned and adored years before
and they allow knife knuts fond of an existing model to experience their
favorite knife with a different or unique blade steel or handle material. These
releases happen several times per year.
Manix2 fans rejoice Spyderco is making the first of a couple Manix2 Sprints. A
run of royal Blue G-10 handle and full flat-ground CPM-S30V bladed manix 2
are available for a short time. True to the original, the Manix 2 sprint has a ball
Bearing Lock which is a hardened free-floating ball bearing contained in a
custom hi-tech polymer cage. The round ball bearing allows the lock to self
adjust across a large surface, smoothly and consistently locking-up with solid
confidence. Evolving over time, the Ball Bearing Lock's strength withstands
hard work with a secure, versatile and comfortable grip. Ergonomics are
peerless in the design.
The blade on this limited run is CPM-S30V a full flat-grind with aggressive
thumb serrations (jimping) above a super-sized 14mm spyderco Round Hole.
The Jimping doesn't stop there. With full skeletonized steel liners, the scales
have jimping that extends beyond the custom-colored royal blue G-10 handle
scales scalloping areas of the handle's perimeter. This one is not slipping out
of your hand and works like clockwork with gloves on. The liners pull double
purpose by adding rigidly and lightweight strength to the handle.
A three-screw clip is left/right-hand carry, positioned for comfort and deep
pocket carry. The knife also has a large lanyard pipe to accept and protect
various types of cord or thong attachments.
Thanx much,
The Spyderco Crew"
It seems pretty different to me.
