Spyderco Manix 2 XL Black Blade Folding Knife C95GPBBK2

The Spyderco Manix 2 XL folding knife is a full-size EDC blade built for serious cutwork in the field, camp, or on the job. If you've carried smaller folders and found yourself wishing for a bit more blade and leverage, the XL delivers—without sacrificing the reliable deployment and everyday carry comfort that made the original Manix a classic. The 3.85-inch blade is ground from CPM S30V stainless steel with a black DLC finish, a combination that gives you excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance in a low-glare package that won't flash in the sun.

Build quality here is what you'd expect from Spyderco: textured black G10 scales that won't slip in wet or gloved hands, a distinctly aggressive profile that communicates purpose, and that signature Spyderco round hole for one-handed opening. The design is ergonomic without being fussy—it points naturally, rocks through cuts with good geometry, and deploys cleanly every time. The stainless steel construction means minimal maintenance compared to carbon steel alternatives, making it a solid choice for hunters, outdoor workers, and anyone who needs a field-tough blade that won't rust if you don't baby it.

Included is a pocket clip so you can carry it clipped in or tip-up depending on your preference. This is the plain-edge version, offering maximum cutting performance without serrations. Whether you're processing game, breaking down camp gear, or handling tough cutting tasks on the trail, the Manix 2 XL punches well above typical mid-size folders.
