Product Description

The Spyderco Manix 2 CPM CruWear combines the proven Manix 2 platform with one of Spyderco's premium high-performance blade steels. This version pairs a CPM CruWear blade with brown canvas Micarta scales, making it part of Spyderco's distinctive CruWear family.

The 3.37-inch leaf-shaped blade is crafted from CPM CruWear tool steel and features a satin finish with a full-flat grind. The blade's gently curved cutting edge provides a versatile cutting profile, while the sturdy point and forward finger choil offer excellent control during detailed cutting tasks.

CPM CruWear is a premium tool steel known for its excellent toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. It is particularly appealing to users who prioritize cutting performance and toughness in a high-performance folding knife.

The brown canvas Micarta handle provides a warm, natural appearance and a secure grip that becomes even more comfortable with use. A forefinger choil and jimped thumb ramp allow for a controlled forward grip.

Spyderco's Ball Bearing Lock secures the blade open while providing smooth operation. The 14mm Spyderco Round Hole allows convenient ambidextrous opening, while the reversible spring-steel pocket clip supports left- or right-side tip-up carry.

An oversized lined lanyard hole provides an additional attachment option.

About CPM CruWear

CPM CruWear is a high-performance tool steel valued for its combination of toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. It occupies an interesting place among premium knife steels because it offers excellent cutting performance without sacrificing the toughness associated with quality tool steels.

Knife-Depot Take

The Manix 2 CruWear is one of those Spyderco models where the materials really complement the design. The combination of CPM CruWear and brown canvas Micarta gives this Manix 2 a distinctly premium, work-oriented character. The Ball Bearing Lock is smooth and strong, while the forward choil and jimped thumb ramp give you excellent control when precision matters.

At 4.9 ounces, it's not the lightest Manix 2, but that's part of the appeal—the Micarta handle and CruWear blade give it a substantial, solid feel. And because it's Made in USA, it checks another important box for customers looking for a premium American-made Spyderco.

About brand

Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.

From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:

Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.

We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.

Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.

Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.

As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
