Today I installed a Flytanium/ Glow Rhino green tritium ball cage and a ceramic ball on my Manix 2. It was painfully frustrating and took me over 20 minutes, but I got it in and I think it looks pretty cool. It also seemed to remove the notorious click when opening the knife.

I’ve used / had both. I went with the Manix for its locking mechanism and its leaf point blade shape

Manix 2 is definitely my favorite Spyderco. Ive tried to like the PM2 but prefer the mechanism and shape of the Manix 2.
