Ordered

Apparently it was added two days ago, don't know how I missed it.

Looks like the scales have been pinned on rather than screwed like what's on other Manixs.

**ravon** · 29-06-12, 07:51 AM

Nice.

**John56** · 29-06-12, 08:14 AM

Pinned construction therefore non adjustable pivot, what's good about that?

**filleep** · 29-06-12, 08:22 AM

wonder why they've abandoned the take apart screw together construction.

still a lovely knife for the money

Sold out!

My G10 Manix 2 has the bushing pivot system so you can't adjust the pivot anyway, despite it being screw together.

It's not a real Manix though, is it?

Fair point but even so, the rivetted construction makes it look cheap and the see-through plastic and lack of liners make it look flimsy......just my 2p's worth....not looking for an argument from anybody

Well thats what I want to find out. A Manix without liners is pretty intriguing! You've got to love the FFG on this though, the hollow grind is what put me off the production G10 version.

I can't argue there, compared to the original G10 this doesn't look as sturdy or as classy, but the reviews I've seen have all been very positive and say that the co-polymer handle is up to the job. As its so cheap (relatively speaking!) I plan on hard using this knife so looks aren't important to me...but its still a Manix...look at those lovely lines! That FFG blade! All that choily goodness!

**gerbo** · 29-06-12, 10:30 AM

I have to agree. The transparent handle makes it look cheap and tacky imho.

**paul w** · 29-06-12, 10:32 AM

Adjustable pivot is a must on any folder IMO but that's just me.
