Product Description
The Manix 2
Crafted for Life
The Manix 2 is a dependable, all-purpose folding knife that showcases Spyderco’s Made-in-USA quality and patented Ball Bearing Lock. Its broad blade is precision machined from Crucible’s premium CPM S30V particle metallurgy stainless steel and features a full-flat grind for an exceptional balance of edge geometry and strength. Matching areas of jimping (textured grooves) on the thumb ramp and the index-finger choil complement the handle’s refined ergonomics to offer an amazingly secure, comfortable grip. Constructed with full stainless steel liners, a stainless steel back spacer, and textured black G-10 scales, the Manix 2’s handle is home to a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock. One of our strongest, smoothest operating locks, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage.
Both opening and closing are easily performed with either hand and without ever placing your fingers near the blade’s edge.
To ensure instant access and ease of carry, the Manix 2 includes a reversible hourglass clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. It complements the blade’s Round Hole and lock mechanism to make every aspect of the knife’s carry, deployment, and operation completely ambidextrous.

I have now had this knife for a few months and I must say that I enjoy it as an every day carry knife. I have used this for a wide variety of tasks such as cutting down cardboard at work, to cutting many lengths of paracord for teaching classes. It cuts smoothly and is easily controlled due to the excellent jimping that catches your fingers better than any of my other knives. The blade is of excellent quality (what you would expect from s30v), I really like the blade's grind and profile, it has a constant taper that is quite thin but still very strong and good for cutting through thicker objects.
Features:
*G10 handle is excellent quality and grips nicely in the hand but slides easily out of the pocket. The pocket clip is also quite firm and does not jostle when clipped to the pocket.
*Ball Bearing Lock is VERY satisfying on each open! The click it makes when it is locked is addicting and I often finding myself opening and closing it when I am bored. It is also quite a strong and reliable lock due to the coiled spring design as opposed to Benchmade's Omega clip which will fail after years of use. People have complained about this knife being too difficult to close, however I believe that these people were attempting to open it with just their thumb. You are supposed to pull from both sides of the release using your thumb and index finger.
*S30V steel is among the best quality out there. Takes an edge and holds it. I quite literally shaved half of my left arm from displaying this knife when people asked about it. BTW it also comes with a razor sharp edge so it is hassle free out of the box.
*Made In "Golden, Colorado U.S.A. Earth" unlike many other Spyderco knives.
Major Complaints:
I have no "Major" complaints at all with this knife, the only thing I can say is that I wish it could be more than just Tip-Up carry? I do prefer Tip-Down, but have gotten used to Tip-Up.
Summary:
Beautiful knife with a sleek and very maneuverable feel. Excellent for fine work as well as hard cutting. Has become my new favorite folding knife due to it's excellent feel and build quality. Only complaint is Tip-Up only carry, but not worth knocking off a star for something as trivial as that.
In use, this is a perfect EDC. In my mind, that means it can do ANYTHING, and I have no doubt it can handle any task after putting it to use.
It's on the thick and heavy side for EDC, but even in dress pants at the office, it's still what I choose to carry over my smaller and lighter knives. They make a lightweight version, but rock solid is worth the weight if you ask me.
I'd trust this knife with my life, and that's the highest praise I can give.
Edit: 3+ year update. Only needs to be sharpened about once a year. Still locks up solid with no wiggle at all, still perfectly smooth to operate, still haven't found anything better.
