SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Spyderco Manix 2 Black is built to deliver strength, reliability, and performance in every cut. Proudly made in the USA, this folding knife has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable tools Spyderco has ever produced. With a design that balances rugged durability with everyday practicality, it’s a knife you’ll reach for time and time again, whether you’re at work, outdoors, or just taking care of daily tasks.
At the heart of the Manix 2 is its 3.37-inch drop point blade, crafted from premium CPM-S30V stainless steel. Known for its superior edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion, S30V has become a gold standard for high-performance knives. The satin finish highlights the clean lines of the blade while also helping to resist scratches and wear over time. Measuring 0.12 inches thick, the blade provides a solid feel in hand while still being thin enough to slice efficiently through everything from rope and cordage to cardboard and food prep. With its plain edge, you’ll enjoy precision and control for fine detail work as well as the strength to tackle bigger jobs.
Opening the blade is simple and intuitive thanks to Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole. This feature not only makes deployment fast and easy, but it also allows ambidextrous operation, making the knife accessible for both right- and left-handed users. Once deployed, the blade is secured with Spyderco’s ball bearing lock, a unique mechanism that uses a free-floating ball bearing to ensure rock-solid lockup. Smooth, strong, and reliable, the ball bearing lock provides confidence and safety in every cut, while still allowing quick and easy one-handed closing.
The handle is crafted from black G-10, a material favored for its combination of lightweight durability and grippy texture. Even in wet or slippery conditions, the G-10 handle ensures a secure hold, giving you complete control over the knife. The ergonomic shaping of the handle further enhances comfort, making the Manix 2 a knife you can use for extended periods without fatigue. The handle also features a lanyard hole, giving you the option to add a lanyard for extra security or personal customization.
Carry convenience is another highlight of the Manix 2. A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife positioned discreetly and securely for everyday carry, ensuring it’s always within easy reach. Closed, the knife measures 4.66 inches, and when open, it stretches to 8 inches overall. At 4.9 ounces, it has a reassuring heft without feeling cumbersome, striking the perfect balance between portability and durability.
The Spyderco Manix 2 Black represents American craftsmanship at its finest, combining high-end materials with a thoughtful design that emphasizes safety, usability, and long-term reliability. It’s a manual folder built for those who demand more from their everyday carry knives, offering performance that goes above and beyond.
