Spyderco’s Golden, Colorado factory is where the company produces its premium American line — CPM powder steels, G-10 scales, and the Compression Lock or Back Lock mechanisms that Spyderco pioneered. The fit and finish on these knives is the benchmark knife nerds use to judge every other production folder.
This Manix 2 runs CPM CRU-Wear steel — a semi-stainless tool steel with exceptional toughness and edge stability, well beyond what standard folder steels can hold. The Ball Bearing Lock rides smooth and solid, the full-flat-grind blade slices deeper than hollow-ground alternatives, and the textured scales give you a locked-in grip in any condition.
Spyderco has operated out of Golden, Colorado since the early 1980s, and the Golden factory remains the home of their most-refined blades. Every Spyderco carries a factory edge sharp enough to shave paper out of the box and is backed by Spyderco’s lifetime warranty.
