This knife appears to be an amazing piece of engineering. The weight is so little that this rather large knife iterally dissappears once it is clipped onto your pocket. It is thin enough that your hand can easily slip past it to any other contents in your pocket, and the material is not harsh and abrasive. I would imagine that this combination of handle scales and pocket clip would be ideal to keep your pants in good shape (not abrading the material). As an example, I wear polyester hiking pants often, and I have to be careful what knives I carry so as to keep them nice.
The handle is extremely grippy and ergonomic (I have medium to large hands), and if the handle weren't enough the jimping and choil provide excellent traction on the blade surface as well.
The knife itself is constructed with a combonation of torx bolt and pinned construction (torx on the knife pivot, and bottom of handle where the pocket clip is) and feels very secure. I am sure if it rattled apart Spyderco would replace it, though I just don't see it happening in every day use.
Speaking of the construction, a few people here commented on the handle material as being too weak, and that the steel lined manix being so far superior. How sad it is that our poor soldiers have been running around with weakly constructed M4 rifles that are made predomenently from a Fiberglass Reinforced Co-Polomyr nearly identicle to the materials in this knife handle. I personally can attest to the durability of this material, and millions of soldiers can as well.
The blade itself locks up as solid as a rock, yet glides effortlessly to open or close. The cutting edge is the sharpest I have ever seen with possible exception to my own Morakniv Classic, though I still believe that this knife has the edge (Ha).
As stated, I will update this as I go, but for now, I am very happy to have spent the money on this knife. Also as an aside, the price dropped after I ordered it (the day after I received it) and after contacting Amazon, they are refunding me the difference. All in all, fantastic experience.
--------------------UPDATE 8-19-14-------------------------
I took this knife on two significant outings over the last few weeks, where it was my main or only blade used. The first was backpacking in the Colorado rockies, where the knife withstood use for everything from fire making, food prep, and significant weather. I also used the knife for whitling wood, and after the trip, the blade was still pristine (no nics in the blade, no stains and razor sharp).
This weekend, I went on a four day camping trip with my family at Terryall Resevior. I used this knife exclusively for everything you would use a knife for in the wilderness, including cutting down a few smaller Aspen trees. It handled all tasks perfectly, and to my surprize the knife is still razor sharp (I carved wood for hours on this trip, and have shredded many knife blades attempting to carve half of what I was able to do with this knife). For me, I am completely sold on this knife, and this blade steel. I beat the crap out of it, and it still cuts like new, shows no signs of wear and continues to be my favorite knife.
--------------------UPDATE 1-30-15-------------------------
After much use I did finally put a chip in the blade. I was carving a walking stick with a bear head on the top. There was a bit of a knot in the wood, and though the knife carved everything fine, once I got home, I realized there was a chip in the knife... This is where the BD1 steel really comes into play. For as sharp as this knife is, and as well as it holds a cutting edge, it is very easy to sharpen and reprofile. The knife is again shaving sharp, and after all that I have put it through it has no blade play at all (without needing to tighten the pivot screw), and is just as solid as day one. This is a fantastic knife that will always be with me when I go back packing.
my knives are black! This translucent blue was cool.
So today I finally get my Manix 2. You know how it is. You simply can't WAIT to see the UPS truck pull up (and hope wifey doesn't see). I open the box up and even though I was expecting light, was really surprised at HOW light it is! You'd think it'd be blade heavy but it's balanced superbly. Just a delight.
At first I felt the action was a tad stiff to deploy the blade one handed with ease. After using the Kershaw Blur, you tend to get spoiled. But, Spyderco has thoughtfully placed Torx screws that allow adjustment of the pivot tension. I adjusted both sides by loosening them perhaps 1/8 of a turn. Maybe less. That did it! A very small amount of RemLube on all parts and now it flicks open nicely with one hand. Be careful doing this if you must. Check to see if you've allowed the blade to have any play in it. Mine has zero.
The sharpness of this blade wasn't exactly razor like. That's ok though. I like being able to place my own finishing on a knife blade. Sharpened up excellent. I don't need to shave my arm hair to convince me. It's perfect. It was a great day today and I wore my sweat pants. Put this knife in my pocket. Clipped on nice. Love the clip BTW. Even with sweats, the knife felt like it was there. Not many good folders with an almost 3.5 inch blade can do that!!
In summary:
Surprising weight.
Beautiful design/color
Great clip.
Excellent steel. Easily sharpened.
Beautiful lockup and action.
Great value overall.
Spyderco nailed this one. I'd like too see more colors.
Looks like I'm in trouble. I'll be buying a lot
more USA made Spyderco knives. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
