Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight Transparent Blue Folding Knife

I bought this because I wanted the translucent version, but the pics had the pinned body which I was OK dealing with, but to my surprise, not only does this translucent version have the upgraded torx screws on the body meaning it can be taken apart, it also comes with the BD1N blade, which is a bit of a step up from the older BD1. Happy days! Love it, it feels amazing in the hand, and solid. Razor sharp out of the box. Great service from Heinnie as always!

Only had mine a few days and im over moon with it, its very sharp out of box watch your fingers on closing it caught me out, very well made and fast opening and closing it will last a lifetime i toyed with the manix 2 LTW for a while and so pleased i decided to go for it big thanks to richard at HH for changing the clip over to left hand for me.

This knife is one of my favourite Spyderco knives ever! This evolution of the Manix takes the functional blade shape of the original Manix 2 and puts it into a lightweight FRCP (Fibreglass reinforced co-polymer) handle. The CTS BD1 steel is a great multi purpose steel that takes and holds a super sharp edge and re-sharpens relatively easy. Great for camping, EDC (where able), food prep and general utility. JUST BUY IT!!!!!!!

I was in two minds about this but as I've become a fan of both the axis lock and the compression lock I have become drawn to this knife. After spending some time using a cheap Ganzo G729 as my EDC I wanted something of higher quality but similar asthetics to replace it. As I'm a fan of Spyderco I became drawn to this knife. There's not really anything I can say that's not already been said. It's light weight, feels very good in hand, opens and closed smoothly andis just a joy to behold. The wire pocket clips is a good thing too. I could mark it down of blade steel; CTS-BD1 isn't bad but I don't rate it as highly as some. There are other versions available now with S110V but that's out of my budget for now so I'll stick to what I have and be happy. This knife, especially considering that there are higher-end versions on the market, isn't what I'd call a knife just for collecting. Buy one and use it - that's what it's for.

Don't normally leave reviews but the bribe of a fallkniven is proving too much, well, the blade is just a bit bigger than my, errmm,, little finger, it's sharp and pointy and the handle is blue!!

Probably the most comfortable knife i have ever held. So light you forget it's in your pocket. Easy one hand open and close. Worth every penny it cost. I seem to be using it all day, just can't stop flicking it open......

Compared to the full fat original manix 2 this one is very light in hand but still cuts and performs just as well as its big brother, really like the colour of the handle and the blade steel holds a good edge for a long time. Can't go wrong with manix which ever variant you decide to get it in its all good excellent knife

Think of this knife as a UKPK on steroids with the added lock. I personally love cts-bd1 steel, it takes a mirror edge which contrasts very nicely with the natural stonewashed look of the knife. The handle doesn't look the most robust, as there are no steel liners, but don't let that put you off. This knife has handled everything I've thrown at it. The ball bearing lock is very strong and makes one handed opening a joy. Great knife, great HH service as usual.

Spyderco at their best, coupled with HH at their best.
