Spyderco Manix 2 XL C95GP2 Folding Knife

Spyderco Manix 2 XL: Serious Cutting Power in Your Pocket

The Manix 2 XL represents Spyderco's commitment to delivering a large, capable folding knife that performs without compromise. This is the oversized expression of the proven Manix 2 design—a knife built for those who demand real cutting capability in a carry package.

Blade and Lock

The 3.85-inch blade is ground from CPM-S30V stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel that holds an exceptional edge while resisting corrosion. The blade features a full-flat grind and a plain edge, making it equally at home in the kitchen or the field.

Locking the blade open is Spyderco's patented Ball Bearing Lock—a mechanism that has proven itself in countless hands. A free-floating steel ball bearing, housed in a high-tech polymer cage, wedges onto the blade's ramp when opened. The spherical design allows the bearing to rotate freely, self-adjusting across a large surface area for smooth, confident lock-up every time.

Handle Design

The handle is built on a foundation of full, skeletonized stainless steel liners that provide rigidity and strength without unnecessary weight. Textured black G10 scales are joined to these liners by stainless steel standoffs and a reinforcing backspacer.

The scalloped pattern created by the liners extending beyond the G10 scales serves a practical purpose: it prevents the knife from slipping in your hand, even when wearing gloves. A textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp allow you to choke up on the knife for enhanced control during detailed cutting tasks.

Carry and Operation

The oversized 14mm Spyderco Round Hole is fully accessible and allows one-handed opening with either hand. A three-screw clip can be positioned ambidextrously in tip-up carry, making this knife equally comfortable for left- or right-handed users. A large lanyard pipe accommodates various cords or thongs for additional security.

This is a knife for serious users who refuse to compromise on capability or versatility.
