This distinctive version of Spyderco’s best-selling Manix™ 2 was manufactured exclusively for Blade HQ and features a unique combination of CPM® M4 blade steel, a black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating, and natural G-10 handle scales.
A product of Crucible’s state-of-the-art particle metallurgy process, CPM M4 is a special-purpose high speed tool steel that is widely used in high-performance custom blades and knives used in competitive cutting. Its advanced alloy composition, high vanadium content, and extremely fine grain structure give it exceptional wear resistance and toughness-properties that translate to outstanding Edge retention and superior impact resistance in knife blades. This knife's Plain Edge™ blade is full-flat ground for low-friction cutting performance and proudly showcases Spyderco's signature Trademark Round Hole™ for quick, positive, one-handed opening with either hand. It also boasts a non-reflective, corrosion-resistant DLC coating.
The other defining feature of this one-of-a-kind Exclusive design is its handle construction, which is highlighted by textured natural G-10 scales. The near-translucent quality of this material showcases the handle’s skeletonized stainless steel liners and high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ mechanism while providing a secure, non-slip grip. To ensure ease of carry and keep the knife poised for instant access, the handle includes a reversible stainless steel pocket clip that offers both right and left-side tip-up carry. To complement the blade’s handsome DLC finish, the liners, handle hardware, and pocket clip all feature a durable non-reflective black coating.
A truly unique expression of one of Spyderco’s most iconic designs, this Exclusive Manix 2 is sure to become a highly coveted collector’s item.
