Description
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 is a full-size, USA-made folding knife built for users who want premium corrosion resistance, a secure high-strength lock, and standout Salt Series styling. It pairs a 3.37" CPM MagnaCut PlainEdge blade with a yellow/black G-10 handle and Spyderco's ambidextrous Ball Bearing Lock — hard-use cutting performance built specifically for life in and around the water.
CPM MagnaCut, from Crucible Industries, is a revolutionary particle metallurgy steel offering an impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. The full-flat grind supports efficient slicing geometry, and at 3.37" the blade hits a practical sweet spot between everyday portability and real working capability.
The two-tone G-10 scales are machined with Spyderco's Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture pattern, revealing bright yellow layers for enhanced visibility in aquatic environments. Full skeletonized stainless steel liners, marine-grade black-coated hardware, a reversible tip-up wire clip, and a generously sized lanyard hole round out a purpose-built saltwater EDC platform at 4.2 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steel does the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 use?
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 uses CPM MagnaCut, a revolutionary American particle metallurgy steel from Crucible Industries. MagnaCut delivers edge retention comparable to premium steels like M390 while adding significantly better toughness and near-rustproof corrosion resistance — the reason Spyderco selected it for the saltwater-focused Salt Series.
Is the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 good for saltwater and marine use?
Yes — that is exactly what it was built for. The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 is part of Spyderco's Salt Series: its MagnaCut blade is extremely corrosion resistant, its liners, clip, and hardware are ultra-corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials, and the high-visibility yellow G-10 layers make it easier to spot around water. It is an excellent choice for fishing, boating, diving support, and coastal EDC.
What lock does the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 use?
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 uses Spyderco's high-strength Ball Bearing Lock. A free-floating ball bearing wedges between the blade tang and a fixed anvil for very strong lockup, and the mechanism is fully ambidextrous and easy to release with either hand without putting fingers in the blade path.
How long is the blade on the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2?
The Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 has a 3.37" (86 mm) full-flat-ground PlainEdge blade, an overall length of 8.00" (203 mm), and a closed length of 4.66" (118 mm). At 4.2 oz it carries as a substantial, full-service work knife.
Is the Spyderco Manix 2 Salt C101GBKYLMCP2 made in the USA?
