There is a tan manix 2 m4 also coming out with a release date of march/april of 11 along with the glowing manix shown in the pics.
 
$355? :eek: Holy cow!! Anyone know where someone could get that particular handle material? The second one up for bids on the bay has an awesome picture of it glowing and I think it would be cool to make some scales for myself if it is available somewhere.

There were four of them on buy it now for $213 three days ago, I hesitated and lost out. Being so wildy attractive as to draw hundreds of dollars per knife will hopefully make it so that some in the future might become available at a more reasonable price. I would like one myself.

:cool:

There will be more available for sure. I think they will balance out around $200...but I'm just guessing. The one that was at $355 was the first one available.
 
for $214....I hesitated and thought about waiting, but glad I made the decision to go for it. It is one Manix I just had to have :) It shipped today and should be here early next week!!
 
These are very cool IMO but I just wish the GITD material had some texture to it instead of being to smooth, I'm afraid I won't be getting one because it would just be a novelty to me, especially at that price :(
 
Just got mine in the mail. It is my first manix 2 so I am not familiar with the Manix at all. It seems to be a really tough knife. As StangBang said the scales are very slick. I don't think it would be easy to hold onto with wet or greasy hands. But, the sheer cool factor of the GITD makes it worth while to me. This thing glows so bright!!

I do have a slight knock on the way these are being shipped. Mine came in a flat rate envelope (I assume they are all being shipped this way). The spyderco box was all smushed and torn up. I like to keep my boxes as nice as possible, especially for what I consider to be a collectible piece or something that will possibly be traded or sold in the future. I was able to kind of bend it back into place and tape it up, so it's not a huge deal, but I would expect a little more care in the packaging of any item I buy.

Overall this knife seems to be a winner!! If you can....pick one up now!!
 
Mine just arrived, The GITD scales are very bright!

Well, you have to jump through some hoops, and there is a mechanism in place to limit one's ability to purchase more than one, so really you need to contact JS Burly on the edcforum for instructions.
 
My box was squashed too...oh well, the knife is far out, definitely one of a kind. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

A note on the lock. This one, and the CS orange LE, have locks that are significantly different from all the Manix 2s I've accumulated. It seems that these may be the first to have the revised lock that Sal and Eric posted about some time ago. Venturing further onto the possibly thin ice, I wonder if the polished (rather than matte finished) backspacer is an indication of that.. ?
