I really like the KnifeCenter sprint they did on the Manix LW (even though I did not buy one as I prefer the Delica and Native). But I do love the way Spyderco HT their CTS-XHP and I am a fan of brown. Do you think this will happen?
 
Being an exclusive the odds are probably low. I actually just got the brown Manix yesterday... not sure if I love the color, but XHP is a pretty ideal EDC for me.
 
Chaneces might be better than you think. Here's a photo of the native LW exclusive KC did a couple years ago, with XHP. I had one, it was very sharp.

love to see a dark brown earth color in G10 on the native 5/m4 steel,i would buy two right now.:)
 
I'm enjoying my Manix 2 lightweight in CTS-XHP. It's great to have an "intermediate" steel available in the lightweight lineup. Better edge retention than CTS-BD1 but is easier to sharpen than S110V or Maxamet.

Yep, me also. Compared against the native, the manix2 wins for me. I love the S110V version, but feel a bit better abusing the $90 XHP blade up in the mountains. Very, very pleased with how the manix2 LWs have gone...
 
I would definitely be in for one. Probably kick my CF/S110V N5 right out of my pocket.

Been trying to decide on the XHP LW Manix2 these past few days... this thread isn't helping, haha.
