Reveal 11: Manix 2 in 15V sprint run

[Blade Lab]

According to Larrin's tables:

toughness--
15v: 3
Maxamet: 2

edge retention--
15v: 10
Maxamet: 11

corrosion resistance--
15v: 4
Maxamet: 4.5

So, should be quite similar, overall. But I wouldn't be surprised if Spyderco's 15v outperforms their Maxamet, because they're consulting with BBB on the heat treat, and he's been refining his protocol for quite some time.

15V has 65 HRC and what would be Maxamet HRC in PM2?

iirc there up near 70?

Shawn may be able to confirm that before I take my pm3 apart and give it a poke.

Is there any reference source on how many of each 15v model were released? Seems the PM2s and Shaman's keep coming up pretty regularly on the secondary but the manix are hardly ever up for sale so curious if that has to do with the production volumes.

I have not gotten a response and still can’t find any other source so maybe it’s just not allowed to be public knowledge.

It is likely proprietary info.
