Great steel; Improved FRN handle
I love the thicker FRN handle than the older version FRN handle ( Endura). This FRN handle is beefy, it's really important for me because thicker handle allows me to handle the knife securely. Maxamet is crazy!

Awesome knife
love that the delivery was sooner then expected. and right out of the box holy smokes is it sharp. love the stone washed blade, its a change from the normal satin finished blades that is normally released. would highly recommend this knife over and over again.

Stays sharp
This knife has been awesome, I've owned it for several weeks now and it has remained sharp even after using it daily! Best knife edge hands down!

Can be sharpened only on diamond stones, adding all the patience you got. I didn't even try to reshape geometry, but as it came from factory was already good enough to me. All this bein said, it can be used and abused on cardboards, plastics, ropes... You will forget when's the last time you sharpened it. Unreal, sick edge retention. In order to get it al little more rust resistant I forced patina mine, and now it reveals the heat treatment lines... this thing is beautiful. I live close to the sea and I sweat like a pig into an oven most of the year. Not a single dot of rust after almost 5 years of usage. Robust but at the same time so light-weight that you need to pay attention when laundry your pants. I forgot it in my pockets many times tho, still perfect.

Spyderco manix 2 maxamet
The steel is absolutely awesome and holds an edge forever.It is a little harder to sharpen and i recommend using diamomd stones to start off with then move on to more fine stones but once you get it sharp it stays sharp and you don't have to sharpen it very much.It is aldo very lightweight I love this knife!

Hard Steel
Good knife but nearly impossible to sharpen yourself the Maxomet steel used for the blade is extremely hard and it takes a professional to sharpen it, Ive tried eze lap stones medium fine xtra fine, accusharp, even sent it back to Spyderco and it came back unable to sharpen so for $ 200.00 id just get the regular steel.
