Some of you know that the Manix 2 happens to be my favorite model in the entire Spyderco world. A couple of years ago, Spyderco released a transparent Blue FRN handled version with CTS-BD1 steel. I got it, I totally dug it. The steel is only so-so and didn't ring my bell. Last year, Spyderco released another FRN version...this one with a black handle...but still the CTS-BD1 steel. Got it, enjoy it...had to have it. This year, a Sprint Run gave me the ultimate in FRN Manix 2 models; this one features a dark greyish blue (same color as on the Endura with the Emerson Wave)...but with the awesoem CPM S110V steel. Total home run. The picture doesn't begin to do this knife justice. The grin lines in the steel are breathtakingly beautiful (well...for people that are interested in knives, that is).
