Mac,
I've always wanted but after handling them at Blade West I really don't think they're that great. They're really uncomfortable. I still would like one as a collector because they look really sweet but that's about it.
Nick,

Some people like them, I don't.
I handled every model, including an XL. Paracord wrapping isn't that great. G-10 was a little better. Handles are just a little boxy for me. Not much sculpting
One thing that really bugged me on all of their folders is just how little edge is on each of their blades blade for a knife of the size.
I would certainly like to own one just because they look cool. Though, I don't buy knives to look at and would much rather spend the money on 3-4 Scrappers.

For those of you who may have been waiting for the return of the Spyderco Manix PE, there are sprint run knives in foliage green G10 available online now.

I have an Endura and really like the Manix series. I need to try and find a Manix. I would also like to get a Delica to go along with my Endura.

GaHHH!!!!! I forgot that I promised to get some pics of the Delica that got a week ago. Here it is: ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0103-3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0104-5.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0106-2.jpg) I love this knife. It came with an odd burr, but after that was out, it was freaky sharp. For kicks, look what I did with my SOCOM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0100-4.jpg) Vanadium is awesome stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

i touched up the factory edge on the tenacious. if i didn't already know it was a $30 knife, i'd never have guessed. econo-manix, without the weight. get one.
