Details: Amazon.com Winner of Blade magazine?s 2010 Most Innovative American Design award, the Spyderco Manix2 knife is drawing praise throughout the knife world for its clever build. Like its G-10 handled counterpart, the lightweight Manix2 features Spyderco?s Ball Bearing Lock, which operates around a free-floating ball bearing contained inside a custom polymer cage. The ball bearing?s round shape allows the lock to self-adjust across a large surface, ensuring smooth and consistent lockup each time it?s engaged. Plus, the lock is engineered to be self-contained, meaning the Manix2 doesn?t need internal liners to support the blade. This further reduces weight and improves maneuverability. The translucent EdgeTek fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer (FRCP) handle comes in a semi-opaque dusk blue color with a series of jimped areas molded around the handle?s perimeter. The handle includes additional bi-directional texturing on both sides of the handle scale, making the folding knife ideal for gripping in wet or uncertain conditions. The blade, meanwhile, is made from newly released BD-1 Carpenter steel. BD-1 is gaining the attention of knife enthusiasts for its rust-resistant high-carbon and chromium content, which also offers enduring edge retention. The blade is flat ground with spine and choil jimping and an oversized Spyderco round hole. The Manix2 concludes with an ambidextrous, tip-up wire silhouette pocket clip and screw-together handle construction, giving the folder several carrying options.
