The Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight (C101PDBL2) blends full-size performance with featherweight carry—and it does it in a striking Dark Blue package that stands out without sacrificing professionalism. Its 3.37-inch plain-edge CTS BD1 stainless blade features a fine, slicing grind and a satin finish that glides through cardboard, rope, plastics, and food prep with minimal drag. The ultra-tough FRCP (fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer) handle uses Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texturing™ for grip that locks into your hand in wet or gloved conditions. At the heart of the knife is the Ball Bearing Lock™, a hardened steel ball riding in a polymer cage for glass-smooth deployment and rock-solid lockup—ambidextrous, strong, and easy to operate. Add the reversible deep-carry wire clip and the Round Hole™ opener, and you have a lightweight EDC that carries small, works big, and fits either hand perfectly.
