A staple in the Spyderco lineup, the Manix 2 is versatile, rugged, and lightweight. It features a 3.4-inch blade made from CTS-BD1, a high-carbon chromium steel with high hardness and excellent wear resistance. The choil at the base of blade makes it easy to choke up on for small tasks, but it’s plenty big enough for taxing work, too. The lockup is as tight as it gets thanks to the ball bearing lock, which also allows you to open and close the blade with just one hand. The handle is made from translucent blue FRCP for a secure grip that won’t weigh you down on the go. Slip it in a pocket on either side: It comes with an ambidextrous tip-up clip.
