The Spyderco Manix 2 XL is an assembly of small, seemingly inconsequential features that, added together, result in one of the strongest knives from Spyderco to date. Outstanding ergonomics are the result of the convenient ball bearing lock, the relationship between the blade's weight, and the handle's shape. These little things result in the smoothest possible opening/closing and reliable and comfortable cutting. A pocket knife that fits perfectly in your hand!
