Orange Manix2 FFG S30v

SUCCESS! Finally an orange Manix 2. Spyderco knows what I liek. :D

Wait, by 'exclusive sprint run', do they mean it is available exclusively from cutlery shoppe? That's kind of a bummer. :(

On that note, anyone outside of the U.S. have experience with Cutlery Shoppe?

Speaking of the Orange Millie, has production for that knife stopped now? I have seen some indication that it might be. I didn't see any on Jeffs web site either anymore. The last Knifecenter email I got shows them on closeout. Sorry to hijack.

Spyderco is still showing it as a production piece in their catalog however, it was on their list of items that will be discontined in 2011. I really like mine and should probably get another while I still can.

As I understand it being an exclusive means it was requested by CS and will only be sold by them. There was a thread in the Good Bad and Ugly awhile back about CS and an overseas shipment but I don't recall how it ended up.

Thanks for the info.:thumbup: I'll have a look at that section and see if I can find the thread. I've been jonesin' for an orange manix-2 since I tried the design, and it kinda sucks that I can't get one from a dealer in my country. :(
 
AWESOME! I've been wishing for a Manix 2 in orange G-10 since the first ones came out, can't wait for these to show up! Had to order 2 just in case!
 
It's been an expensive week for me---my M4 Millie shipped and I ordered one of these orange Manix 2's today, plus I pre-ordered both sprint run Para 2's yesterday.
 
I know what you mean. I'm trying to talk myself out of this. I just bought a manix 2 last week, and this week I have the M4 millie and a massad ayoob coming. Must.Stop.Now.

Typically Spyderco has stopped production prior to when they officially disco the knife. That means that Spyderco has only what was on hand already and it will filter down the distribution channel until all supplies are exhausted.

IIRC, wasn't the orange Millie originally a sprint that got an "upgrade" to regular status? Sad to see it go, for sure, but I wish it had something more interesting for a blade.

+3 on the steal.

When you figure the all black model with 154CM is selling for about the same price I think this is a great deal. While I'd like the all black one, this one for basically the same price with FFG and S30v seems like a better cutter for me anway and the orange G10 is just something I like. It'll go great with my orange Millie. Just wish they'd come out with an orange Para 2.

I am totally blanking on price of the nearest comparable, which would have been the recent blue G10 S30V FFG Manix 2 sprint. Does anyone recall the street price for that? I am definitely agreeing that Jeff's price is outstanding. :thumbup:
 
Interesting. I almost placed a pre-order, but then thought of the blue that I never took out of the box since the day it was bought and decided to pass. But if it was CTS-XHP I would not have hesitated.
 
I'm with you on your comment

I got my blue manix for $125 from new graham so the price on the new orange run is really good.
 
The blue actually grew on me. The only funny thing is that it seems to show dirt much faster than the FG G10.
 
I'm located in Singapore, and yes, Jeff is good with overseas customers. Excellent CS, and quick to respond to inquiries. Strange how someone across the world can ship stuff in three days, but customs can hold on to it for two weeks...
