I really like the Manix 2, it's heavier and wider when closed than the Para2, but it feels more solid, it's actually one of the most solid "feeling" knives I have when the blade locks open, partly perhaps because of the stiff spring in the bearing lock. Pretty deep pocket clip, S30V, and made in the USA very good grip. Mine does have a bit of side/side blade play just like my Para2 does and I don't think it's uncommon. However I have not tried to do anything to adjust it out either and can only feel it when I'm cranking on it pretty good to try and induce it. Good blade shape, a little thicker than the para 2, nice lanyard hole.
If I were to change it I'd probably lower the jimping even with the slabs, extended non-glove use can be kinda tough on the hand and I'd round the handle edges a bit more, but I like a really nice larger radius handle edge. For me it's also harder to close one handed than other designs, it's not frustrating, just not as easy as a liner/compression, I'd say about the same as the axis. If I was constantly needed to open/close a knife with one hand that might be a downside.
Considering you get made in the USA, S30V, G10 for around $80 if you shop around for the satin blade, that's really pretty amazing.
