The handles have solid ergos, and even choking up feels good. The edge has held up well to use, and it's the high-quality knife they have come to expect from Spyderco. The handle material feels nice and solid in the hand, and is very grippy. It holds up to the elements fairly well, and customers love the performance of the steel. The opening action is an easy flip of the wrist.

Customers like the lock of the knife. They mention that the locking mechanism for the blade is very secure and the spring is very strong. The ball bearing lock is fantastic and adjustable. The CBBL lock is awesome and easy to use. The locking mechanism works great, with no blade play up or down, or side to side. The perfect lockup is tight and the materials are good. However, some customers feel the Benchmade Axis lock generally feel smoother, yet solid.

"...The blade itself locks up as solid as a rock, yet glides effortlessly to open or close...." Read more

"...The ball bearing lock is awesome. The spring is stiff, but the cage that the bearing is in has jimping as well, making this knife a dream to close...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the size of the knife. Some mention that the size is nearly perfect for what they need, it's just right for their hand, and it'll work well as an EDC. However, others say that it'd be better if it was smaller.

"...It fits my blue jean pockets perfectly, and not that I recommend you carry this into a bar, but the bar that checked my pockets didn't feel it in my..." Read more

"...It has one fault that is shared with the Manix 2 models--a wide profile that takes up a lot of room in the user's pocket when clipped inside...." Read more

Superb edge retention Maxamet blade, comfortable handle for larger hands.
5 Stars
Superb edge retention Maxamet blade, comfortable handle for larger hands.
Ok, a couple of things first... The picture shows a S30v Manix2 with G10 handles and a hollowground blade. The Maxamet knife is the lightweight model (no G10 handles), and the blade is a full-flat grind (not hollowground).As for the actual knife... It's bigger than I was expecting, but very lightweight for it's size.It was reasonably sharp for a factory edge, but I like my knives to be beyond sharp. So, I broke out the Lansky Diamond kit and set up for a 20 degree primary edge angle. Even using the diamond sharpener, the hones just skipped over the surface of the blade without the usual 'bite' feel of the diamonds abrading the surface. Sal from Spyderco said a while back that they were aiming for a Rockwell C hardness of 67 for this blade, and I believe it! This was easily the hardest knife blade that I have ever sharpened. It dulled my diamond Lansky stones (the center of the stone is now much less effective than the ends of the stone), so I'll have to replace my diamond hones. I suspect that I was pressing the stones too hard against the blade, resulting in the diamonds getting dislocated from their surrounding metal surface. After the diamond stones, I used the yellow (Extra Fine) and Sapphire (Ultra Fine) stones and then stropped with Chromium Dioxide (green) polishing compount. Now, the knife is hair-topping sharp, and easily removes arm hair when slid along my arm about 1/8 inch above the skin.Maxamet is a super-hard steel, but it is relatively low in chromium content. As a result, it is not a stainless steel and it *will* rust if not cared for. I used a tissue and a drop of honing oil to apply a thin protective coating on the blade to avoid rust.The locking mechanism for the blade is very secure and the spring is very strong, but the drawback is that the spring makes it very hard to unlock the blade. It's *much* stiffer than the similar mechanism on my Benchmade Mini-Griptilion. If you don't have large strong hands, then you may have difficulty closing the knife with only one hand. Since this is the only Manix 2 I have ever held, the lock on mine could be unusually stiff..The blade lockup is solid, with no up/down or side/side play of the blade relative to the handle. But when the lock is retracted, the blade swings freely. Honestly, the build quality is superb. The knife superficially resembles the $4.99 knives you see at the gas station checkout counter, but this is a quality knife made with premium materials. The most premium material, of course, is the crazy Maxamet blade.I bought the knife for the Maxamet blade, but it's just too big for my tastes. I will buy the Spyderco Native 5 in Maxamet when it is released (any day now), and when it is available in the Paramilitary2 or Para3. If you have large hands, the Manix2 will probably suit you fine. It's all a matter of personal preference.
