Spyderco Manix 2

Congratulations! Out of the many Spydercos I ve got the Manix 2 remains one of my favorites due to the great ergos and awesome blade. Its just melts in hand and is my go to knife for breaking down cardboard.

Everything you would want in an EDC. Only reason for 4 stars is that it's constructed with rivets and not screws. For someone that likes to take their knives apart to clean and lube, it's irritating 😂

Spyderco Manix II in S35vn. I love the action, can flip it open without touching the blade, feels very comfortable in my hand, is very sharp and stays very sharp for a long time. And it's sexy as hell.

Super impressed by this knife. One of the sharpest I've owned and a joy to flick open. It's a bit bigger than other blades I've carried but I've learned to appreciate it's size and ergonomics in every day use compared to smaller knives or multitools that are just useful in a pinch but not fun, ergon...

I’ve carried a Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight in CTS-BD1 at work for quite a few years now and I recommend it. It’s not a super steel, but it takes a razor sharp edge easily and then easily keeps a great edge with some very minor maintenance. The locking mechanism is solid, the handles are comfortable, the blade is utilitarian for just about anything you need a pocket knife for, and it’s a US made Spyderco for $105. Forgot to mention that I love Spyderco’s wire clips because they’re quite inconspicuous and don’t cause a hot spot for me when using the knife.

Here's my advice: If you're a SpyderCo fan, definitely pick this up. Super clean & smooth opening with the ball-bearing lock, washers, and SpyderHole blade design. Very tough material but no heavy steel liners! -you can slice super-tough material very easily (Garden Hose, Cardboard, Tarp, leather, e...

The Manix 2 XL is the best knife on the planet, of the knives I own, it is the most satisfying to hold. The handle-blade balance is uncompromising, it's the perfect execution of the "Manix" concept. The great thing about this particular model is that when oiled it's so smooth it'll deploy under its own weight if you pull back the spring.

I got this knife wanting to change the scales. I didn’t do enough research and didn’t realize this one wasn’t the same as the standard Manix 2 frame. It was nice and light and I was going to keep it but a friend loved it and offered to buy it. I sold it to him and put towards a regular Manix 2. I pr...

Wellll if you want a different knife the Spyderco Manix 2 is a fantastic alternative. S30v steel with the good old spidey hole to flick open, similar lock mechanism that works much more reliably (caged ball bearing with a spring putting pressure on the ball cage), and still relatively affordable 150$~. Manix 2 also has some of the best ergos and aggressive gimping without being uncomfortable.

Received quick and fast. My fifth Manix 2 which is among my favorites in the Spyderco line of knives Advertised with the CTSBD1 steel but got the CTSBD1N which was a great surprise. Was told the BD1N is equivalent to S30V but will have to test out and see for myself. Will update.
