I was sold on the Spyderco Manix 2 when I first laid eyes on it. The great looks, excellent ergonomics, and fun locking mechanism all make this a very enjoyable knife to handle and carry. It's made with an outstanding steel, 154cm, and agressive G10 handle scales for great retention in pocket or hand, with good edge retention and durability. Spyderco markets this knife as a hard use folder, so you should feel very confident carrying this into the outdoors, and putting it under all kinds of stress, right? Although I didn't perform any hard-use tests myself, my confidence in this knife has dropped somewhat after watching this video by jankerson1: www.youtube.com I hope future versions of this knife will have the durability this one is meant to have, but until then, I'm happy to make this a simple "fondling" blade - one that I'll enjoy just for the coolness of it.
