Spyderco Manix 2 XL Pocket Knife C95GBBK2 - Black G10

Spyderco Manix 2 XL Knife C95GBBK2 with Black G10 Handles & Black Blade

Designed with tactical applications and light discipline in mind, the Manix 2 XL by Spyderco is an all-black powerhouse. Its sturdy Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) blade coating and blackened liners, clip, and handle hardware offer a discreet, non-reflective finish. This innovative design seamlessly integrates Spyderco's patented Ball Bearing Lock with the impressive cutting capability of the original Manix, ensuring both strength and convenience.

Crafted from premium CPM S30V stainless steel and flat ground, the blade of the Manix 2 XL spans 98mm, making it slightly longer yet 25% thinner than the standard Manix blade. These subtle adjustments significantly enhance cutting performance by reducing drag and overall knife weight. The thumb ramp and forefinger choil feature improved jimping for heightened control, while the generous 14mm Trademark Spyderco Hole enables effortless one-handed deployment, even with gloves. The handle of the Manix 2 XL boasts a framework of 420J2 stainless steel liners covered in textured black G-10 scales. Strategically placed jimping on the liner edges ensures a secure grip, while the open-backed construction simplifies cleaning and maintenance. For versatile carry options, a reversible hourglass clip accommodates both left and right-side tip-up carry, while a lined lanyard hole allows the attachment of fobs and lanyards.

Central to its operation is Spyderco's patented Ball Bearing Lock™ mechanism, featuring a steel ball bearing housed within a robust textured polymer "cage." Upon opening the blade, a steel plunger propels the ball bearing forward, wedging it between a blade ramp and a steel "anvil" in the handle's back spacer. Retracting the caged ball bearing releases the lock, allowing the blade to close smoothly while keeping fingers safe from the sharp edge. This mechanism is not only incredibly strong and smooth but also fully ambidextrous, offering an impressive blend of strength, usability, and safety.
