About Spyderco
Thinking beyond established knife industry practices has allowed Spyderco to introduce new innovations, including one-hand opening, serrations on a folder, and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. Spyderco remains dedicated to researching and developing improved, better-performing materials with function and reliability, and its unique cutlery line is a result of designing ergonomic, functional tools. The company puts its new products through rigorous testing prior to release, examining edge retention with a CATRA machine, looking for rust development with Q-FOG, checking the force needed to open and close a knife, and analyzing numerous other technical details.
Product Description
A recipe for folding knife success: Start with hard-use rated lock. Add a blade made of exotic high carbon steel. Manufacture it in Golden, Colorado using precise tolerances then add a healthy dash of American innovation. These ingredients are the Manix2, a concoction of solo features when combined make one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Patented by Spyderco, the Manix2 has a Ball Bearing Lock. It’s a hardened free-floating ball bearing contained in a custom hi-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. Evolving over time, the Ball Bearing Lock’s strength withstands hard work with a secure, versatile and comfortable grip. Ergonomics are peerless in this design. The blade is 154CM and hollow-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above a super sized 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. The Jimping doesn’t stop there. With full steel liners the scales have jimping that extends beyond the G-10 handle scales scalloping areas of the handle’s perimeter. This one is not slipping out of your hand and works well with gloves on! The liners pull double purpose by adding rigidly and lightweight strength to the handle. A three-screw clip is left/right-hand carry, positioned for comfort and deep pocket carry. The knife also has a large lanyard pipe to protect various types of cords or thongs.

Fantastic Knife - A Great Value,
By J.Taylor (CT, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spyderco Manix 2 G-10 Plain Edge Knife, Black (Sports)
Prior to buying this knife, I looked at A LOT of different designs, combing through the catalogues of Benchmade, Kershaw/Zero Tolerance, CRKT, SOG, Cold Steel and Spyderco. Based on the categories of blade dimensions, steel quality, handle shape/materials, opening and locking mechanism, price, and company reputation, I finally settled on the Spyderco Manix 2; and I'm totally satisfied with my choice. What struck me first about the knife was its sheer quality. I don't know why I was surprised, Spyderco pays great attention to detail, fit, and finish - It's the same story with my G10 Dragonfly. The metal-to-metal and metal-to-grip-scale fit on the Manix is just about flawless. The components fit so well, it's as if it was all one piece. The knife has a proper weight to it with great balance; it seems to be made to exacting tolerances with everything lining up the way it should, and the metal parts exhibiting the results of precise machining and finishing. The blade on the Manix is 154CM, certainly not a low quality steel, and it appropriately comes very sharp out of the box. Containing the blade is a steel frame, the perimeter of which sports nice, sharp "jimping" in just the right places. The grip frame is shaped and jimped in such a way as to allow the user a few different grips: you can choke up to the rear of the blade for precise cutting, you can hold it traditionally, or with a little adjustment make due with a reverse grip - it's quite versatile. However, you are forced to carry the knife blade-tip up, with the clip on either the right or left side. Some people like the tip-up and some like the tip-down. I prefer the tip up as is, because it allows you to grab the knife in the ready position for fast opening. Speaking of, the Manix opens plenty fast. It's a manual opener yes, but I feel the 3" blade's weight and balance, coupled with the Spyderco round hole allows for a deployment speed nearly equal to that of the assisted openers once the technique is sorted out; and compared to my Dragonfly, the Manix opens super fast. After you move the blade away from the handle a certain distance with the Spyderco hole, the blade becomes totally loose and can be flicked out to locking position with a quick wrist motion. Once it locks, it locks TIGHT, however the sound it makes isn't as reassuring as some. It's not an overly loud *click*, which is fine by me. I'd say the closing method of this knife is it's only drawback, but maybe in time it'll become more natural. The knife locks up via steel ball bearing on a spring, so to close the knife you must pull back on these two polymer slider-buttons which are actually a one-piece cage that encompasses the ball and sticks out on either side of the grip. As a heads up, it's nearly impossible to disengage the blade with only the thumb of your grip hand(though that'd be nice). The spring is too strong, and that uneven pressure exerted on the slider make it a no-go. Instead, if you must close the blade with one hand, it's easier to use the thumb on one side and the index finger on the other. This is doable, but offers little control of the blade, as once you've disengaged it, it'll swing unimpeded back towards the grip (and possibly your other fingers). You can get around that with precise timing and finger placement, but if possible, it's much easier and safer to close it with two hands. I would say it's more of a quirk of this knife than a real negative. It has so many other positive features that one could hardly complain, especially for less than 80$. When you consider the quality of this U.S.-made knife, and then take the price into consideration, it seems as though you are totally getting your money's worth, but it's possible that for once you may be getting more.

Great Knife,

This review is from: Spyderco Manix 2 G-10 Plain Edge Knife, Black (Sports)
The Spyderco Manix 2 is one tank of a knife from the handle to the blade and lets not forget the wonderful locking system. I also own the Spyderco Para military which is a very great knife also, but since buying the Manix 2 I rarely carry the Para military now. I say buy this knife the price is great for a American made knife plus the Spyderco Warranty which can't be beat also great steel 154 CM and the feel of the knife fits wonderful in hand.

Manix 2,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spyderco Manix 2 G-10 Plain Edge Knife, Black (Sports)
I bought this knife as a replacement for a Case that I carried on my belt for over 25 years. I wanted something solid and built to last. The only reason I didn't buy another Case was I wanted something different. Spyderco hit a home run with the Manix 2! A very Solid well built knife. Good blade steel,Grip,and size. Lock up is very solid and secure. It is a little heavy for a pocket knife So I went in search of a belt sheath and a Buck 10pt omni folder sheath just works. It fits in the sheath one way only -tip down, blade forward-. A nice tight fit. You will need to remove the pocket clip for the sheath tho.
Hope this helps B
