Features: This Manix 2 knife features a black FRCP handle with Spyderco's Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. It has a premium Carpenter CTS-BD1N steel blade with a full flat grind and plain edge with screws. This state-of-the-art powdered metallurgy steel contains high amounts of vanadium and niobiumalloys that give it exceptional wear resistance and higher corrosion resistance than many other stainless steels. Like its G-10 handled counterpart, the lightweight Manix2 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.
