Spyderco Manix 2 3.37-inch CTS BD1 Steel Blade Plainedge Foldable Knife (Translucent Blue)

Weighing in at a scant three ounces, The Spyderco Manix 2 3.37-Inch Steel Blade Plainedge Foldable Knife features a full-flat-ground CTS BD1 stainless steel blade with Spyderco'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 includes a molded Bi-Directional Texture pattern to ensure a secure grip in even the most demanding environments. A reversible wire clip provides left or right-side tip-up carry and makes the operation and carry of this knife completely ambidextrous. It comes in a Translucent Blue color that looks chic and classy.

Excellent Performance

Winner of Blade magazine's 2010 Most Innovative American Design award, the Spyderco Manix 2 knife is drawing praise throughout the knife world for its clever build. Like its G-10-handled counterpart, the lightweight Manix 2 features Spyderco Ball Bearing Lock, which operates around a free-floating ball bearing contained inside a custom polymer cage. The ball bearings' round shape allows the lock to self-adjust across a large surface, ensuring smooth and consistent lockup each time it’s engaged. Plus, the lock is engineered to be self-contained, meaning the Manix 2 doesn't need internal liners to support the blade. This further reduces weight and improves maneuverability.

Construction

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 handle's perimeter. The handle includes additional bi-directional texturing on both sides of the handle scale, making the folding knife ideal for gripping in wet or uncertain conditions. The blade, meanwhile, is made from newly released BD-1 Carpenter steel. BD-1 is gaining the attention of knife enthusiasts for its rust-resistant high-carbon and chromium content, which also offers enduring edge retention. The blade is flat ground with spine and choil jimping and an oversized Spyderco round hole. The Manix 2 concludes with an ambidextrous, tip-up wire silhouette pocket clip and screw-together handle construction, giving the folder several carrying options.

Ready for Anything

The Manix 2 is an extremely capable full-sized folder that is known for its strength and performance. Its broad blade provides exceptional cutting power, while its textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp allow a forward grip.

Lightweight

This Manix 2 handle is fabricated with Fiberglass Reinforced Co-Polymer. FRCP creates a tough, chemical, and heat-resistant handle that is extremely lightweight and versatile.

Dependable

If you are looking for control and precision, look no more. This knife features our PlainEdge grind which is known for creating a smooth and exact cut.

Low Friction

This knife features a blade ground with flat bevels that extend from the spine to the cutting edge. This grind reduces drag during cutting and decreases overall weight.

Extreme Lock Strength

The Ball Bearing Lock features a patented compressive lock that wedges a ball bearing between a fixed anvil and the blade tang. The mechanism also serves as a detent to hold the blade in the closed position.
