Just wondering if anybody here got one or planning to get. Very good looking knife. Black FFG S30V blade, dark green G10 handle (basically the same color as Lil T, just different texture). 400 pieces run for Stag Arms. Lock is nice and smooth, much easier to operate one-handed to compare with my Blue Manix.
Here quick & dirty, to the best of my abilities. Residue from oil still on the blade.

Stag Arms is a company that manufactures and sells AR-15 and M-16 rifles and accessories.

I actually like the color combo of the Stag arms Manix2. I would consider picking one up myself depending on price. Thanks for sharing the photos!

As far as I know this Manix sold from Stag Arms web site (couple already made on e-bay) for $135, which is comparable with original price of Blue Manix at most on-line dealers.

That's not too bad at all, I may have to look into that soon. Thanks for the heads up

That picture is hilarious.

I just received mine today. It's really nice. While the above photos are great and I'm confident I can't do better, actually holding one and seeing the silver contract of the "Stag Arms" is pretty cool. Makes the knife look even better.
 
Well, I own 2 Stags, a dressed up M4-style AR-15, and a 6.8 SPC w/21" barrel. However, I've as yet to purchase any new Spyderco. Guess this is a great time to jump on the bandwagon with everyone else here. :)
 
I'm passing on this one. I really like the color combo, but the logo is just too big. With so many other Manix 2 variants out there, I can do without this one.

I think it will not be difficult to remove this silver printing without damaging coating on the blade. I would contact Spyderco CS, may be they know how to do this or at least they can find out. The knife is gorgeous.
 
Yep...there it is!! Thanks for the link but I think I changed my mind....can't get over the size of the Stag Arms name on the blade....if they would have just put the Stag logo.....I would be ok with that.

I was thinking the same thing about Spyker. Now I am really glad that I bought it couple years ago. Still love it.
Trust me this silver printing is not that bad.
 
I don't care for a lot of printing on blades. I think in this case the large font Stag Arms logo is a marketing feature like a NFL team jersey or hat. It's a promo for the Stag Arms guys. Smart advertising. Even if you don't buy one, they got your attention and you know who they are now. Plus they'll show up in Manix2 collections forever.
