Spyderco Manix 2 XL

72jroberts · Jan 20, 2013

Im seriously thinking about buying this Monday.
I like this blade because its a bigger knife- blade almost 4 inches.
To owners out there, let me know your impressions please.
I know I have pigeonholed Spyderco as knives that all seem to look similar, but
it doesn't mean that I don't like them

This one seems like a bigger Spydie for a fair price.
Thanks,
John

I don't own the XL version but I have the "standard" S30V/G10 model. I won't go into all of the already known attributes of this knife, but the F/F is very nice. It would be hard to be disappointed with your purchase knowing they have some weight to them. I don't know about the XL, but I bet it carries well too.

I love mine, its a big beefy knife tho...

I've always wanted one too. I just always felt that the Military and the Paramilitary 2 are better deals for the price of the Manix 2 XL. I'll buy one eventually though.

How much XL runs for vs the para 2?

I love mine, it's one of my top three spyderco's along with the para 2 and southard, excellent ergonomics, size and and price for what you get ( got mine on sale for $89)

You can find the Manix 2 XL for about $95-$100. The PM2 (when it's in stock) for $95-$130, and the Military is usually $115-$130.

You got a good deal. Once you get that Spyderco, it's kind of hard to go back to Benchmade. Benchmade just can't produce the same quality for the same price you pay for a Spyderco.
