Old and new Manix comparison pictures

Twindog,
I'm quite a ways from being a lawyer, so your reasoning falls short with me. When the designer of the knife feels the knife is worthy of the name, that's good enough with me. I doubt the Manix2 is really in need of the jimping as the handle is so close to the Mini Manix, but Eric felt it would be an improvement for users over the original. I applaud Spyderco for making a knife that falls into a broader price-range by replacing the premium steel with a very good working steel, while still offering a stronger package, overall.

While I appreciate your(and others) loyalty to the orignal Manix(I'd love to see the all steel Rookie still in production), sales in general must've been lacking, or the Manix wouldn't be a thing of the past. And if Spyderco didn't move forward, trying to improve designs, we'd likely still be carrying knives that ressemble Buck 110s.

Out of curiousity, do you own a Manix2 yet?
 
Thanks for the pictures. It is great to see them all side to side like that. Seems like a great knife for the price, just waiting for full flat grind though.

My suggestion is to get one and send it to Tom Krein for a regrind. I am getting one for my dad but it will go through Tom's hands first! :D
 
Man, I sure am glad I didn't have a Manix before... I get an $80 knife now that I really enjoy, vs., one I can't get or wouldn't pay for.
 
I'm really soooooo tempted with this blade although visually I like the mini more. I think a manix or rat izula is the next blade....decisions decisions! :)
 
I know it's late to this party but had Flatlander not revived it I would have never seen it.
Great job!! Nice pics!!
