I love the Manix, it’s a sexy, beast of a knife. However, I feel the translucent blue FRN scales do it a disservice. Use one with G10 scales and you will understand.

BenzoI'd really like to see a similar discount on the g10/s30v version. Big weight penalty on that one though, because of the g10 and full steel liners. 3oz -> 5oz.
BenzoSpyderco's frn handles make them feel cheap imo. I understand it saves weight but I can't get past the "gas station" $1 knife feel of it. Agree about the G10 being a major upgrade. I can't believe spyderco removed the stainless steel liners from the frn knives. I just received a dragonfly 2 and it is soooooo disappointing. I'll try and get a pic of the all plastic handle
