Spyderco Manix 2 Salt Black: The Revolution in Corrosion Resistance
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt Black is a technological masterpiece from the renowned Salt series. This knife has been specifically developed for users operating in the most challenging conditions, from salty maritime environments to intensive daily use in humid climates. By combining the legendary ergonomics of the Manix 2 with revolutionary CPM MagnaCut steel, this knife offers a level of performance previously thought impossible: extreme sharpness and wear resistance in a completely corrosion-resistant package.
The Manix 2 Salt Black utilizes the latest innovations in the steel industry and Spyderco's own proven techniques.
- Revolutionary CPM MagnaCut Steel: Developed by Crucible Industries, this steel breaks the traditional trade-off between rust resistance and edge retention. It offers the performance of high-end tool steel without the susceptibility to corrosion.
- Tactical DLC Coating: The blade features a black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This finish is extremely hard, reduces friction, and provides a non-reflective, modern look.
- Reliable Ball Bearing Lock: This locking mechanism uses a free-moving ball bearing in a polymer housing. The result is a silky smooth action and an extremely strong lock that is fully ambidextrous.
- Ergonomic G-10 Handle: The black G-10 scales feature Spyderco's signature texture for a rock-solid grip, even with wet hands. The stainless steel liners have been carefully selected for their resistance to the elements.
- Full-Flat Grind Leaf Shape: The leaf shape of the blade, combined with the full flat grind, provides superior cutting performance and excellent control for precision work.
For fishermen, sailors, or outdoor enthusiasts, the Manix 2 Salt offers the assurance that the tool is always ready for use, regardless of exposure to salt water or sweat. Weighing 118 grams, the knife feels solid and reliable in the hand, while being comfortable to carry in your pocket. The combination of the Ball Bearing Lock and the large thumb hole ensures that the knife is easy and safe to operate, even when wearing gloves.
Thanks to its fully symmetrical design, the Manix 2 Salt is ideal for both left- and right-handed users. The pocket clip can be attached on either side (tip-up). To close the knife, pull the locking slide back on both sides, allowing the blade to fold smoothly without your fingers getting close to the edge. Although MagnaCut is exceptionally corrosion resistant, periodic rinsing with fresh water after use in salty environments helps to preserve the mechanical parts.
This knife is ideal for maritime professionals and outdoor adventurers who don't want to worry about their knife.
