Spyderco Manix 2 XL – 3.85" Folding Knife, Plain Edge, Black DLC CPM S30V Blade / Black Textured G-10 (C95GPBBK2)
Model: C95GPBBK2 • Blade Steel: CPM S30V (Black DLC) • Blade Length: 3.85" (approx.) • Edge: Plain • Handle: Black textured G-10 • Lock: Caged Ball Bearing Lock (CBBL) • Clip: Reversible tip-up pocket clip • UPC: 716104009510
The Spyderco Manix 2 XL C95GPBBK2 delivers full-size cutting performance with a stealthy, non-reflective Black DLC finish on premium CPM S30V steel. A broad 3.85" blade and hand-filling G-10 scales make this XL workhorse a favorite for users who want a serious slicer that still carries comfortably. The ambidextrous Caged Ball Bearing Lock provides bank-vault security and a smooth, fidget-free close, while the signature Spyderco Round Hole enables fast, one-hand opening—righty or lefty, gloved or bare.
Why the Manix 2 XL (DLC) Stands Out
Stealth & protection: The Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating reduces glare, adds surface hardness, and helps the S30V blade shrug off corrosion and wear.
S30V edge performance: Powder metallurgy stainless engineered for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness—ideal for daily use and hard outdoor chores.
Ambidextrous strength: The CBBL self-adjusts as it wears, maintaining solid lockup with a silky action; fully ambi with symmetrical ergonomics.
Grip that works: Black textured G-10 scales, forward finger choil, and spine jimping create a locked-in purchase for heavy cuts and precise detail work.
Carry your way: A reversible tip-up clip and lanyard hole offer multiple carry options while keeping the XL profile pocket-friendly.

What It’s Great For
EDC with headroom: Boxes, straps, cordage, and tough materials—the long S30V blade keeps working between touch-ups.
Backcountry & field: DLC stealth finish, corrosion resistance, and XL leverage for camp prep and trail fixes.
Glove-friendly jobs: Oversized Round Hole and ambidextrous lock make cold-weather or work-glove use easy.
Collection-worthy: Classic Spyderco lines plus a blackout DLC blade for the “all-black everything” aesthetic.
Ergonomics & Control
Choke-up precision: A forward choil with jimping lets you move up the blade for fine cuts.
Secure traction: G-10 texture and palm-filling contour reduce hot spots during long sessions.
Field-serviceable: Open-back spine sheds grit; rinse, dry, lube pivot lightly, and go.
Care & Maintenance
Edge care: Touch up with ceramic rods or diamond stones; S30V rewards light, regular maintenance.
Finish care: Wipe dry after exposure to moisture; avoid harsh abrasives on DLC.
Pivot/lock: A drop of quality oil at the pivot and ball-lock interface keeps the action glassy.
