Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight Knife

Weighing a mere three ounces, the Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight Translucent Blue boasts a full-flat-ground CTS BD1 stainless steel blade with the brand's signature Trademark Round Hole for easy, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock housed within a precision-machined steel insert in the handle. The durable FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer) handle features a molded Bi-Directional Texture pattern, ensuring a secure grip even in the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip allows for left or right-side tip-up carry, making this knife completely ambidextrous.

The Manix2 knife has been praised throughout the knife world for its innovative design, earning the Blade Magazine's 2010 Most Innovative American Design award. Like its G-10 handled counterpart, the lightweight Manix2 features Spyderco's Ball Bearing Lock, which operates around a free-floating ball bearing contained inside a custom polymer cage. The ball bearing's round shape allows the lock to self-adjust across a large surface, ensuring smooth and consistent lockup each time it's engaged. Additionally, the lock is engineered to be self-contained, eliminating the need for internal liners to support the blade, further reducing weight and improving maneuverability.

The translucent EdgeTek fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer (FRCP) handle comes in a semi-opaque dusk blue color with a series of jimped areas molded around the perimeter. The handle features additional bi-directional texturing on both sides, making the folding knife ideal for gripping in wet or uncertain conditions. The blade, meanwhile, is made from the newly released BD-1 Carpenter steel, known for its rust-resistant high-carbon and chromium content, as well as its enduring edge retention.

The Manix2 is completed with an ambidextrous, tip-up wire silhouette pocket clip and screw-together handle construction, offering multiple carrying options. With its broad blade, textured index finger choil, and thumb ramp, the Manix 2 is an extremely capable full-sized folder renowned for its strength and performance. The FRCP handle, which is tough, chemical and heat resistant, and lightweight, adds to the knife's durability and versatility.
