Spyderco
Dear Spyderco Customer
The Manix® 2 Lightweight is one of Spyderco's most popular and in-demand
folding knives. That popularity makos it a natural platform for Exclusive
production runs-special configurations of established Spyderco models that
are produced exclusively for a single wholesale customer or distributor.
Although multiple runs of an Exclusive may be made,as its name implies,that
specific expression of the knife is exclusive to that customer and commercially
available only through them.This Manix 2 Lightweight was specially
manufactured for Blade HQ(BladeHQ.com)and is available only through their
sales channels.
This remarkable knife is unique in two ways.First, its blade is precision
machined from CPM@ M4,a special purpose high speed tool steel produced by
the particle metallurgy process.CPM M4's sophisticated alloy composition,
high vanadium content, and extremely fine grain structure give it exceptional
wear resistance and toughness-properties that translate to outstanding edge
retention and impact resistance in knife blades. Taking full advantage of these
qualities, the PlainEdge TM blade of this knife features a full-flat grind and
low-friction satin finish for unparalleled cutting performance.It is also cloaked in
a non-reflective Diamond-LikeCarbon (DLC) coating.
The second defining feature of this knife is its lightweight handle,which is
injection molded from mint-colored fiberglass-reinforced co-polymer(FRCP).
Reminiscent of the "natural" color of Blade HQ's signature G-10-handled
Exclusives, the handle includes Spyderco's high-traction Bi-Directional
exture T" pattern for a secure grip.It also houses a stainless steel backspacer
that supports the knife's patented Ball Bearing LockTm mechanism.To
complement the blade's DLC finish,all the handle's hardware,including its
aversible tip-up wire pocket clip,also boast durable black coatings.
