The Manix 2 combines full-size, full-service cutting performance with the many advantages of Spyderco’s Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. Offering exceptional strength and smoothness of operation, this innovative lock also complements the Manix 2’s symmetry to make every aspect of its design completely ambidextrous. Now this workhorse folding knife is available with our proprietary steel CPM SPY27. An elevated, powder-metallurgy expression of VG-10, SPY27 gives the full-flat-ground blade of this knife a superior balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. All other features of this knife are consistent with the standard versions of the Manix 2, except for its peel-ply-textured G-10 scales, which showcase the distinctive cobalt-blue color of our SPY27 family.
