Tactical or EDC blade
LIke i've mentioned before in my endura 4 and tenacious review spyderco makes great blades and this blade is no exception...
I dont usually rate things 5 stars but for this blade i will make an exception...seeing as this is the first review on amazon and most people buying this knife are serious knife nuts like myself enjoy learning more and more about the blades we buy before making the purchase...and since this is a rather expensive blade(anything over the 100 dollar mark is an expensive blade to me your mileage may very) i will try to give an honest in depth review on this knife.
1. Uses. honestly i think this particular blade is probably best suited as an emergency tactical blade because i find it to be a little large for every day carry. Its a serious blade for pocket carry with a blade that is near the 4 inch mark( 3.88 ) and a Hefty weight of 6.2 oz its a big knife. It has an overall length of 8.93 inches open and is 5.08 inches closed. serious blade...
Spyderco Manix 2 XL won't disappoint
This knife is fantastic! I waited a few weeks to review it so that I could give some honest feedback.
First, the handle. The handle is extremely comfortable, ergonomic and well balanced. It just "fits" into your hand when you're using the knife. This helps with hand fatigue which, can lead to slippage which can lead to cuts. Cuts should only be on the intended material/media. Not your hand. The scales on this knife are nicely textured. They appear smooth at a glance but hold up very well to sweaty, wet, or oily hands. Internally, there are skeletonized liners inside the handle. These not only help with strength & stability but also help take away a little weight if that's ever a concern for you while packing for say, a camping trip.
Secondly, the blade. The blade is fantastic! It's made with Crucible's technology. Does more need to be said? The CPM S30V steel has an extremely high level of edge retention & because of the vanadium content being so...
Perfect in every way. Besides tactical
At first glance, I fell in love, at first hold it took the reign of my large edc. I carry 4 knives in 4 sizes, large heavy use edc,large tactical, general edc, and fruit peeler slicer. I weight it in at 5.1 ounces, it's liners are skeletonized and the gimping is awesome, and blings in the right light. Not a tactial knife, but grip will argue that but knowledge will dispute it as it cant stab like a Spyderco Military. But is a much heavyier use knife. Liners, locking mechanism and blade steel lend itself to power cutting. Make no mistake about, if your state allows anything under 4" blades buy this baby and you'll see what quality production knives should be.
Dont be put off by the fools who say this knife is not easily opened, the lock acts like the Benchmade Axis and DOES release just as easy with one hand. I own many Axis locks and none, are better, the same yes better no.
