Boy 😮flicking that manix open looked difficult AF!!! 😅nah, great model, glad I waited for a gp knives in Rex45 and white FRCP with screws. Great time for knife people.
Sprint production knives are a good idea but the sprint run is limited. The knife is then picked up by a single online retailer in a limited quantity, of course. I really appreciate your candor and fine reviews.
3 yrs later and inflation has increased the price of Spyderco knives. I’m mulling over a chance to purchase a REX 45 Manix2 LW for $129 brand new. I should jump on it, but I’ve got dozens of Spyderco knives. Hmmmm. 🤔
@@bladeinsider8997 will do, I love M4, just got my first rex45 yesterday, manix lw, so I'm interested to see how it is in hand. Itll be hard to beat M4
@@bladeinsider8997 mine came with blade centering issues, super stiff action that can't be remedied by the pivot bolt, and a strange rattling noise when the lock is pressed down prior to lockup.
FRN and FRCP (Manix 2) definitely arn't my favorite Spydercos , But just because they "Feel " cheap doesn't mean they are! You'd have a hard time breaking the Manix 2 Lightweight. ..even driving over it.
I agree to a point. I have lots of FRCP spydercos and while that aren't my favorite scale, I did not mind them. However, I felt different about these scales on the Manix 2. But the workmanship/machining on the scales was not up to spyderco quality. For the money that your paying, the scales and backspacer should be evened out so you cant see the seam.
@@bladeinsider8997 Nothings worse than ordering a new knife and finding flaws (blade centering, grinds, etc. Makes you feel like a nitpicker. You pay good money expecting to get what you pay for.

Im about to review the g-10 blackout version. Also if im being completely honest i like the other intro thing after the intro better.
Thanks. Its good to try new things.
If you're straining to get the manix 2 lightweight open you may want to hit the gym chief!!!🤣🤣🤣

Do it.
What do you think of the rex45 now that you've had it a few days, better or worse then M4?
I am going with the M4. Check out the new video, I review an M4. Still maintains a good edge.

FRN and FRCP are different materials and have a different feel. Manix LW is FRCP
Well then I am not a fan of FRCP. Makes sense now.
Is that guy okay ?
No
He sounds a bit slow or if he may be speaking to a person who's first language may not be english.
