Product Description
The Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 brings the Manix 2, a favorite for its balance of heft, full-service cutting performance, and ambidextrous operation, into Spyderco's Salt Series for use in and around the water. This version pairs a satin CPM MagnaCut blade with two-tone black and yellow G-10, machined to reveal its yellow layers for better visibility.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel from Crucible Industries, designed to combine edge retention, toughness, and very high corrosion resistance, a mix that's hard to find in one steel. It resists rust from salt water, sweat, and humidity while holding a working edge. The 0.125" drop point blade is full-flat ground with a satin finish for clean slicing through line, rope, and food.
- Blade: 3.37" CPM MagnaCut drop point with a 2.88" PlainEdge, full-flat grind, satin finish, 0.125" thick.
- Handle: Two-tone black and yellow G-10 machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture, over full skeletonized liners; marine-grade, black-coated hardware; 4.66" closed, 4.2 oz.
- Deployment + Lock: Spyderco Trademark Round Hole for one-handed opening with either hand; a high-strength Ball Bearing Lock that left- and right-handed users can release the same way.
- Carry: Reversible pocket clip for tip-up carry on the right or left side, plus a generously sized lanyard hole for tethered carry; 8.00" overall.
Ideal for: anglers, kayakers, and divers who want a full-size folder built for salt water; ambidextrous users who want a lock that works the same in either hand; and anyone who wants a high-visibility knife that's easy to spot on a boat deck.
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt in satin CPM MagnaCut with black and yellow G-10 (C101GBKYLMCP2) ships same or next business day from Columbia, Louisiana. Knifeworks is an authorized Spyderco dealer.
Spyderco Manix 2 Salt: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt (C101GBKYLMCP2).
What lock does the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 use?＋
The Manix 2 Salt uses Spyderco's Ball Bearing Lock. When the blade opens, a spring-loaded ball bearing moves into place between the blade tang and the stop pin, wedging the blade securely open. To close, pull back the bearing's release tab on the spine of the handle and fold the blade, keeping your fingers clear of the edge. The lock works the same for left- and right-handed users.
What makes the Manix 2 Salt good for salt water?＋
Spyderco's Salt Series uses highly corrosion-resistant materials throughout. On this version, the CPM MagnaCut blade is paired with marine-grade, black-coated handle hardware, and the yellow layers of the G-10 make the knife easier to spot in and around the water. Rinse the knife with fresh water and dry it after salt exposure to keep it in top condition.
What is CPM MagnaCut steel?＋
