Eric’s First 

Spyderco has been a family business from the beginning. At the very start, the company consisted practically only of Sal Glesser and his wife, who drove around the country with a bus and visited trade shows. Today, Spyderco is based in Golden, Colorado, and has become one of the leading pocket knife manufacturers in the USA. In addition to Sal Glesser, today it is primarily his son Eric who has taken the management of the company in hand. And even his first design, the Manix 2, is a hit.

The Manix 2 is definitely one of the Spyderco knives you’ll pick up and not want to put aside again. The ergonomic design offers an incredibly comfortable hand position so that this tool literally sticks in your hand while working. On two solid steel liners sit handle scales made of indestructible G10, which can really take a beating. A central feature of the Manix 2 is the Ball Bearing Lock. Here, a thick steel ball, which sits in a plastic cage, is pushed onto the blade root by means of a centrally mounted spring. This prevents the blade from simply folding back in. This lock is not only incredibly sturdy but also has a completely unique feel. The blade action has a gentle resistance, so that a very controlled action is achieved.

The leaf-shaped blade made of CPM S30V is opened, as you know it from Spyderco for sure, through the large thumbhole. With the blade tip located on the center axis of the knife, you have maximum control over the knife when working with the Manix 2 and can also do very precise cutting work. The fully raised flat ground provides the best cutting properties so that working with this rattle is simply fun.
