Spyderco Manix 2 Folding Knife Gray FRN Handles 3.37in Maxamet Steel Blade - C101PGY2

Description: The Manix™ 2 Lightweight Maxamet® combines the lightweight construction of our award-winning Manix 2 Lightweight with a blade crafted from Carpenter® steel's Micro-Melt® Maxamet® alloy.

This knife's full-flat-ground, leaf-shaped blade takes full advantage of Maxamet's properties, offering a superior combination of strength, low-friction cutting
