The Manix2 Lightweight CPM S110V combines the ultra-lightweight construction of Spyderco's award-winning Manix2 Lightweight with a blade ground from premium Crucible® CPM S110V. This state-of-the-art powdered metallurgy steel contains high amounts of vanadium and niobium—alloys that give it exceptional wear resistance and higher corrosion resistance than many other stainless steels. The full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade offers a superior combination of strength, low-friction cutting performance, and point utility. It also features a forefinger choil and strategically placed jimping (texturing) that enhance control during use and Spyderco’s Trademark Round Hole™ for swift, ambidextrous one-handed opening.

The handle of this knife is injection molded from tough fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and features Spyderco’s distinctive Bi-Directional Texturing™ pattern to ensure a secure grip in all environmental conditions. A reversible wire clip provides convenient left or right-side tip-up carry and an oversized lanyard hole allows the easy attachment of fobs and lanyards.

Linking the blade and handle is Spyderco’s patented Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. This high-strength lock consists of a ball bearing nested within a durable textured polymer “cage.” When the blade is opened, a spring-loaded steel plunger drives the ball bearing forward to wedge between a ramp on the blade and an “anvil” in the handle’s steel insert. Drawing the caged ball bearing to the rear releases the lock and allows the blade to close smoothly while keeping your fingers safely away from the sharp edge. Smooth, strong, and easily operated, the Ball Bearing Lock is also completely ambidextrous.

The Manix2 CPM S110V Lightweight is an exceptionally advanced folding knife that combines light weight, durability, strength, and high-performance cutting capability into a single dynamic package.

Smooth action and very sharp out of the box

No frills Manix 2 for beginners

This is my 2nd spyderco that I bought from TA. I would say first and foremost that TA's service is very top notch and consistent. Don't hesitate to buy from TA.

Now about this Manix 2 model, it comes with a S110V steel blade that is known to be very hard (edge retentive) and durable and also offer a good level of rust resistance. I also found it very sharp out of the box and has great satin finish on it. Handle is made of FRCP (fiber reinforced plastic in layman's term) and has minimal steel lining (if ever you will call it that) making this a very light pocket knife considering the size of the blade it offers. The pocket/belt clip is a wire clip type (not deep carry type) that was placed so that it will give you a good grip when pulling it out of your pocket but makes it relatively invisible while still tucked inside. The construction is pinned, except for the pivot and clip screws. This enables you to adjust the tension of the pivot and switch the clip placement respectively.

A main con about this primarily is its pinned construction. This makes it very hard to maintain in the long run since you cannot fully disassemble the knife. For a knife that will not receive warranty servicing provided by Spyderco (USA) since it is bought in the Philippines, this might cause some issues so make sure to oil this regularly with a pen applicator like Tuf glide or Nano Oil to prevent rusting. Another thing is that the ball-bearing lock system is very stiff out of the box (even if you add oil to it). This is caused by the spring which you cannot modify since you can't take this apart. But in time, the whole system will wear well and it will provide a smooth action (I can now engage and disengage the blade just by actuating the lock with a wrist-flick).

Overall, in a larger perspective, I believe this is one of the best spyderco knives out there. The weight is just beautiful for EDC and the blade is just an all-rounder.

If you don't mind the pinned construction and you don't plan to disassemble your knives at all, this will be bang for your buck.
