The Manix2 has enjoyed a welcome reception since its release in early 2010. An all-black version arrived summer of 2010 with a DLC (diamond like coated) black blade, black screws and black silhouette pocket clip. Just like the non-black version it features an exceptionally strong lock called the Ball Bearing Lock®. The lock consists of a free-floating ball bearing contained in a custom high-tech polymer cage. The round ball bearing allows the lock to self adjust across a large surface, smoothly and consistently locking up with solid confidence. Layered under the G-10 handle are scalloped full-steel scale liners extending just beyond the handle scales, effectively jimping the handle's perimeter while increasing rigidity and strength. The matte black non-reflective blade is Crucible 154-CM steel, hollow-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above a super-sized 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. A black three-screw pocket clip is left/right hand friendly and positions the folder for tip-up carry.

Bought on Ebay for $80.00 free shipping no tax. Excellent Spyderco design, superb knife. Interesting ball bearing locking system. Fabulous thumb Jimping, as well as amazing index finger front Choil Jimping (two choils), which allows the user to really get a grip for detail work. Came razor sharp. Beautiful in all black blade and scales. Can't go wrong. For some, may be a bit too big for EDC. (I carry the Spyderco all black 'Native' combo edge as my EDC)

This faucet is built very solid and sturdy. the water pressure is great, its not to light like some other new faucets out there. I would of given it five stars except that the drain is mainly plastic its not all brass below the sink . The price is ok since it comes with ceramic valves that LAST LONGER. SAW IT CHEAPER ON OTHER SITES BUT AMAZON HAS FAST SHIPPING WITH PRIME MEMBERSHIP. Looks good and looks built to last.

I buy dozens of faucets and fixtures a year for the various restoration projects and I've been using this faucet more and more lately. It has the perfect combination of being vintage without being kitschy. It's classic and goes will in a wide range of renovations, from Victorian to Mid-Century. This is the rare kind of faucet that--if I found one in a renovation I was working on, I would re-use it in the new bath.
Kohler customer service is second to none. Their taps and fixtures are not cheap but they are guaranteed for life and they will send you parts free forever. Buy the right Kohler faucet and you'll never have to buy another one as long as you own that house. That's worth something.

I'm not really sure how the four wings work- as who gets there first to take off most of the stock leaving the second wing to give the finishing cut- but it does a slick job. I (a novice) wanted to do quite alot of paneling using MDF -nasty stuff, and did not want to sacrifice my more expensive Freeborn cutter. One pass, clean, minimal clean up, fast. I had also previously purchased a Freud four wing Ogee router bit and was impressed. And, NOT made in China!
