Spyderco manix 2 cts bd1 blade

[Flaminghog2099]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to knives ad I've been looking in on getting a folder for camping or backpacking. I noticed nutnfancy's video of manix 2 making it to the elevens, but then I saw a hard use test and the manix lock failed multiple times. Does that video do justice for the knife or would it be a perfect camping folder?

I have a manix2 (CTS-XHP) and I feel the lock is one of the best. I like it more than the compression lock (I know, I've blasphemed). It is a very strong lock, and I have a hard time believing it would fail under normal use. Any lock can fail when misused/abused.

and you have to take Nuttin with a grain of salt. Much of his stuff is suspect.

Does it also serve good as an edc blade?

I have been quite pleased with my LW Manix 2. It is a great EDC. The knife takes an excellent edge and is easy to sharpen. It slices very well. And I really like the FRCP handles -- they are quite grippy and comfortable, in addition to being very lightweight.

It's fine as long as you don't expect too much, not in the same league as S30V or even near it, but then it costs a lot less also.

Different knife, but I'm completely diggin' the Manix 2 XL. Ligh tot medium use to date, no issues. Very comfortable to carry for a large folder.

Jim s a voice of authority on this forum. Me, I d get the Manix2 with ffg s30v steel.
