Description
The lightweight Manix 2 has arrived and is drawing praise and winning accolades, including Blade Magazine’s 2010 Most Innovative American Design. Like its G-10 handled counterpart, the lightweight Manix 2 features the Ball Bearing Lock. The lock operates around a free-floating ball bearing contained inside a custom polymer cage. The ball bearing’s round shape allows the lock to self-adjust across a large surface ensuring smooth and consistent lock-up every time it is engaged. The Ball Bearing Lock is engineered to be self contained meaning there is no need for internal liners to support it, allowing the folder to be manufactured liner-free and extraordinarily light weight. The translucent EdgeTek FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer) handle is semi-opaque dusk blue with a series of jimped areas molded around the handle’s perimeter. Additionally Bi-Directional Texturing covers both sides of the handle scale making the folder better for gripping in wet or uncertain conditions. The blade is made from newly released BD1N Carpenter steel. This steel is an advanced particle metallurgy steel that is enriched with a high vanadium content to promote the formation of hard vanadium carbides instead of chromium carbides. The blade is flat-ground with spine and choil jimping and an oversized Spyderco Round Hole.
