Spyderco Manix Knives have been one of the best compact knives on the market for years. This Spyderco Manix 2 is a high-performing low profile reliable knife you can depend on. This knife has a full-flat-ground black blade precision machined from premium CPM S30V stainless steel and coated with a highly durable black tungsten diamond-like coating. The blade also has matching areas of jimping on the thumb ramp and choil providing an extra secure comfortable grip. The black G-10 handle is constructed with a full stainless steel liner and stainless steel back spacer. The handle also is the home of the patented Spyderco Ball Bearing Lock Mechanism. When the knife is opened, a spring plunger drives the ball bearing forward onto a ramp on the blade, wedging it securely open. This knife also features a reversible hourglass pocket clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry.
