I feel very fortunate to have received the .5% additional prize of the Manix 2 XL black blade G10, but did not receive a Manix 2, which is what I really needed. Seeing that others who received the additional prize still received a standard Manix 2, I'm wondering "What the heck, Massdrop?" I read the listing as being guaranteed to receive some version of Manix 2 with the potential of receiving an additional prize. Help me out here.
BubalouieI am wondering this as well. I lucked out and got the black XL, which is great and i am not at all complaining, but reading through the comments and the original text on the drop, i get the impression that upgrades like the black XL were *in addition to* the normal Manix 2? I'm happy with the XL by itself, but hey, if there shoulda been another knife...
misterscottMD made me decide if I wanted to keep the XL or return it for the regular Manix, which I assume is the base knife, not upgraded. They said they made a mistake when they shipped knives. Apparently that means I don't get the knife I was actually trying to get unless I give up a knife I'm excited to have for the price I paid. The problem with returning the XL is that I would have paid full price for the base level knife, and get screwed out of an upgrade. At this point, I have since paid for a blue Manix outside of MD and have an XL that I will keep because I got a screaming "deal" on it.
Definitely not at all happy with how MD handled their mistake.
So I was hoping for the blue handle, and figured I would get it since it was more common. Opened up the box, saw a black handle, and got disappointed. Then I continued to open the box, and realized the knife was MUCH bigger than it was supposed to be. Turns out I got the Manix 2 XL Black Blade! Totally not what I was expecting, and very pleasantly surprised. I never win anything, and I just got the rarest bonus unlock. Thank you Massdrop!
Received an eMail showing shipping label was created. There's an outside chance I might get my order this weekend, but early next week seems very likely. Hyped...
Edit - arrived today. got the black nylon handle... cool
Blade conditions 2nd grade. The Hiro carving knife set arrived with bent blades tips on 2 of the knives. All of the tools needed to be sharpened prior to use. The Ruixin knife sharpener came with out instructions to assemble.
Is this a common occurrence?
i have a Manix 2, and i am very impressed. the action is smooth (for a knife without bearings), and the lock is very secure. the blade remains sharp a long time, and as a lightweight carrier it is unequalied in my collection (over 30 knives). The Spyderco Thumbhole is bulky compared to some alternatives, but it very effective in opening the blade. The heavy belly on this blade ensures enough stability to cut even the thickest rope. i think the price is fair, especially if you can get an upgrade for free! Massdrop has provided a very good service here, and even the "lottery winner" excitement level is a cool change to other purchases! i would definitely recommend this drop!
