The all-black Spyderco Manix 2 XL (brand part no. C95GPBBK2) is intended for tactical applications where light discipline is a concern. Made by Spyderco at its U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado, its 3.86-inch CPM S30V blade is flat-ground and coated in Diamond-Like Carbon, slightly longer and 25 percent thinner than the standard Manix, reducing drag and trimming weight. Blackened liners, clip, and handle hardware complete the low-profile, non-reflective theme, all backed by the Manix 2’s dependable lock.
