Spyderco’s Manix 2 XL is a larger, even more capable expression of our iconic Manix 2 design. Now its impressive cutting power is available in an ultra-corrosion-resistant format as a member of our acclaimed Salt Series. The broad, leaf-shaped blade of the Manix 2 XL Salt is crafted from Crucible Industries’ CPM MagnaCut—a remarkable particle metallurgy steel that challenges conventional steelmaking wisdom to deliver an impressive synergy of toughness, edge retention, and extreme corrosion resistance. Optimized for tactical applications, the blade is cloaked in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to reduce its reflective signature. It is supported by a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock™ mechanism housed within a handle featuring full skeletonized stainless steel liners and black G-10 scales. The scales are both peel-ply-textured and machined with our signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for an ultra-secure grip. To complement the DLC-coated blade, this knife’s liners, reversible tip-up pocket clip, and all other hardware are also made from ultra-corrosion-resistant materials and have low-profile black coatings.
This knife is just flat out the best yet that I have had the pleasure to own. The scales are very aggressive textured and feel great in the paw. The knife was manufactured absolutely perfect in every aspect jimo. The MagnaCut steel blade in all black liners and all are a real bonus also.
