I do love it.

What can I say. I wanted to get a Magnacut knife. I wanted something I could actually use for all kinds of tasks that didn’t cost a complete fortune. This knife is what I expected. Blade is perfect and plenty sharp. It, and the lock up are tight. It is not flipping open like a Jack in the box, but all that is adjustable. It is a bit wider than expected when closed. If that is a concern, you can select a different model and may want to see them in person before purchasing. I knew Spyderco would be a great choice and there is no lack of support videos and customization potential. The hardest thing now is deciding what color I’m going to dye the handle. Knife Center was excellent about honoring the sale price without asking, when item was out of stock and I technically didn’t complete my order until after the sale.

Awesome SPYDERCO ALWAYS IS

This is my second manix, I have the g10 version with s30v which is the awesome of any. This 1 is a awesome carrier. IT'S light, and the color is easy as the sun to find if misplaced. The magnacut steel oh boy i love all these super steels even though probably I will never have to put to it full potential. The pricE IS awesome also because of the scales it is less money. It still has all the strength though. I will always be proud to carry a SPYDERCO KNIFE OF ANY KIND. THANK YOU KNIFE CENTER FOR YOUR AWESOME STORE, WEBSITE. THANK YOU FOR THE KNIFE EDUCATION TOO. I LEARN ALOT FROM THE KNIFE DETAILS ON ALL THE KNIVES. PLUS THE STEEL, AND KNIFE EDUCATION VIDEOS. I LOVE THEM ALL . THANK YOU!!!!!

Spyderco Bliss!

Manix 2 is probably my favorite Spyderco knife. I have many Spyderco knives, but I feel the Manix 2 stands out. The ergos are the best, the materials are quality, super light weight! Long live Spyderco!

Great knife

Awesome product. Lightweight not a burden, night yellow so easy to find, incredibly durable. Favorite knife. The one and only draw back is width. It does take up a bit of room in the pocket.

Awesome Knife

This is an EDC for me. I use the pocket clip to carry in my right pocket. The knife was amazingly sharp out of the box. Even though the yellow scales look low dollar, they don't seem to flex and you will appreciate the bright color the first time that you have to hunt it down when you misplace it. When I ordered it I thought it may be cumbersome in the pocket, but after I had it I found that I could still get my hand in my pocket quite easily. In my opinion, MagnaCut is about as good as it gets for a work knife that you don't want to feel that you have to baby it. I like the lock mechanism. I don't fidget/play with the knife. It feels good in the hand.

Best knife money can buy!!

This is my EDC. This knife handles everything thrown at it. Plus, it wants to be sharp. Very little effort to get scary sharp. Buy the knife- you will not regret it.

Manix 2 LW Salt

Love the Manix 2 and love this version as well. It is my new jogging knife due to it's corrosion resistance. What else is there to say, the Manix 2 LW, now in the Salt edition, is a great tool that you can get wet and dirty without fear of any corrosion.

Nearly Perfect Tool

The Manix 2 Lightweight in Magnacut is easily a "one and done" knife. You could just buy this folding knife and never need another again. I put level 3 anodized aluminum scales, a deeper wire clip, and a light spring kit (all from AWT) on mine, which elevates it immensely, but even with the stock FRN scales, clip, and spring, this knife is fantastic. Fit and finish is great, and the jimping is the best on any knife I've ever handled. Very aggressive and grippy, you will NOT slip off. I work in a trucking parts warehouse, which means lots of cutting cardboard, tape, plastic wrap, zip ties, and plastic straps all day every day. The Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight in magnacut performs flawlessly, and the blade holds up very well. I can go for weeks at a time without needing to do anything but clean the blade. Highly recommended knife.

Diver Perfection

This is my favorite dive knife I've ever owned. The handle is textured and shaped so that there's no chance of losing grip.

Another Manix 2 winner

Can't get enough of the Manix 2 lightweight design. Great lockup. Great blade centering. Great ease of opening/closing. But most of all, everything saved on the handle has gone into the blade. I have one in S110V as well and it practically cuts glass. This one in MagnaCut will be my pocket companion for my days on the water.
