Spyderco C101GPCWBK2 Manix 2 Folding Knife 3.37" CRU-WEAR Black Plain Blade, Smooth Black G10 Handles - KnifeCenter Exclusive
*Rockscale Titanium Scales: https://rockscaledesign.com
The defining feature of this elite version of the Manix 2 is its blade, which is precision machined from CPM-CruWear — an air-hardening tool steel specially formulated to offer both superior wear resistance and toughness. Created by Crucible Industries, CRU-WEAR's unique alloy composition allows it to excel in applications that require greater wear resistance than D2, more toughness than M2 high-speed steel, or both. The CRU-WEAR used in the blade of this knife is further enhanced by the Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process, which ensures an ultra-fine, highly homogeneous grain structure that maximizes the performance potential of the steel. In a knife blade, that translates to amazing toughness and the ability to take and hold an outstanding edge.
The black-finished blade of this knife is full-flat ground for superior edge geometry and proudly includes a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for swift, ambidextrous, one-handed opening. It is housed in a handle built with full skeletonized stainless steel liners and smooth black G10 scales. This robust construction supports the knife's high-strength Ball Bearing Lock mechanism and a reversible pocket clip that provides a choice of left or right-side tip-up carry.
Showcasing both an enhanced CRU-WEAR blade and a distinctive smooth G10 handle, this KnifeCenter Exclusive version of the Spyderco Manix 2 is sure to be highly sought after by discriminating users and collectors alike.
