Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight Knife with CTS BD1 Steel Blade and Blue FRCP Handle

The Manix 2 Lightweight Translucent Blue, weighing in at a mere three ounces, is a highly acclaimed knife in the world of blades. It boasts a full-flat-ground CTS BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco's iconic Trademark Round Hole for effortless, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. The blade is reinforced by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock housed in a precision-machined steel insert within the handle. The tough FRCP (fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer) handle features a molded Bi-Directional Texture pattern for a secure grip in challenging conditions. Additionally, a reversible wire clip enables convenient left or right-side tip-up carry, ensuring versatility for all users.

Winner of Blade magazine's prestigious Most Innovative American Design award in 2010, the Spyderco Manix2 knife is celebrated for its innovative construction. Similar to its G-10 counterpart, the Manix2 Lightweight features Spyderco's Ball Bearing Lock, which operates around a free-floating spherical bearing within a custom polymer cage. This mechanism ensures smooth and consistent lockup each time, with self-adjustment across a large surface. The lock is self-contained, eliminating the need for internal liners, thus reducing weight and enhancing maneuverability.

The translucent EdgeTek FRCP handle, in a semi-opaque dusk blue hue, sports jimped areas around the perimeter for added grip. Bi-directional texturing on both sides of the handle scale further enhances grip in wet or uncertain conditions. The blade is crafted from the newly released BD-1 Carpenter steel, known for its rust-resistant, high-carbon, and chromium-rich composition, offering long-lasting edge retention. The blade features flat ground construction, spine and choil jimping, and an oversized Spyderco round hole.

Equipped with an ambidextrous, tip-up wire silhouette pocket clip and screw-together handle structure, the Manix2 provides multiple carrying options. Its specifications include a CTS-BD1 blade steel, Fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer handle material, a 3.39-inch blade length, and a mere 2.85 ounces in weight.

Ready for any task, the Manix 2 is a robust and high-performing folder with excellent cutting power. Its lightweight FRCP handle offers durability and versatility, while the PlainEdge grind ensures precise and controlled cuts. The flat-ground blade reduces cutting resistance and weight, while the innovative Ball Bearing Lock provides secure blade deployment and closure.
