SP101GMCBKP2: C101GMCBKP2 Manix 2 Salt - Black G10

Spyderco

This Manix 2 offers the best of both worlds: the full-size cutting performance and ambidextrous operation of the original, and the lightweight, corrosion-resistant benefits of being a member of Spyderco’s ground-breaking Salt Series knives. Specifically crafted for use in and around the water, this particular expression of the Manix offers a balance of closed-length weight, full-size cutting performance, and ambidextrous operation. For one, the Manix boasts a full-flat-ground blade crafted from Crucible Industries' CPM-MagnaCut - a revolutionary particle metallurgy steel that offers an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. The blade is cloaked in a stealthy Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating and supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism and a handle featuring full stainless steel liners and G-10 scales. The scales are both peel-ply-textured and machined with our signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern for an ultra-secure grip. Like the DLC-coated blade, the scales, reverse tip-up pocket clip, and all other hardware are also made from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials and have non-reflective black coatings.

Spyderco Manix 2 is number 1
I prefer Spyderco knives, and Manix 2 is my favorite, I have three, this the Salt is the latest purchase. I have two Delicas, an Endura and an HI Pacific Salt. Also have an Spyderco automatic. I have been collecting knives since being a Cub Scout, but Spyderco are my go-to knives of choice. They give what I want from a folding knife.

Excellent edc and work knife!
I work in and around water. With all the jimping around the whole thing, it's easy to keep a firm grip even when wet. Being the salt model, it can handle water without any issues. I just rinse it off every time it gets dirty. I've been waiting a LONG time for this exact salt model to be released and I'm so happy to have it. It beats the spy27 model i had! The Manix 2 might be the best Spyderco knife there is. I love the strength of it. The lock is way stronger than their great compression lock. Came with a wicked sharp edge! Somewhere around 15 degrees/side

Quickly Becoming My Favorite Spyderco
This is my first Manix but is becoming a favorite in my Salt collection. I have the Salt Military 2, PM2 black, PM2 satin, Sage 5, and Shaman as well. Compared to those, the blade is top notch Spyderco Magacut quality. No sharpening necessary out of the box. Perfectly centered and drop shutty. Slicey like the PM2. Not as hefty as the Shaman but no concerns about heavy use. Great feel in hand, not too large or small. I have larger hands and, for example, prefer the Military 2 over the PM2. The G10 is very grippy and my favorite of the Salt line. I am a saltwater fisherman, saltwater aquarium hobbyist, and work in a chemical plant, so grippiness and corrosion resistance is most important for me. Yes, the lock spring was stiff at first, but it loosened up significantly after a couple weeks of fidgeting. Or maybe I just developed callouses on my thumb and finger. Or both, but either way, it's fine, never needed two hands. Thumb on one side and finger on the other, but that is what I expected. This is not an axis lock, much more solid feeling. I did the titanium ball cage and MXG clip upgrades and am glad I did. All that said, I do admit that getting used to this knife has required more Band-Aids than my other Spyderco's. I find that when operating the compression lock, my fingers naturally move out of the way of the blade swing. With the Manix, I had to learn to be a bit more intentional, not because of the lock stiffness, but because of my finger positioning. Great Knife!
