(14 mm) blade thickness 1/8 in. (3 mm) handle material G-10 Spyderco Mainx2 Black Blade The Manix2 has enjoyed a welcome reception since its release in early 2010. An all-black version arrives summer of 2010 with a DLC (diamond like coated) black blade, black screws and black silhouette pocket clip. Just like the non-black version it features an exceptionally strong lock called the Ball Bearing Lock®. The lock consists of a free-floating ball bearing contained in a custom high-tech polymer cage. The round ball bearing allows the lock to self adjust across a large surface, smoothly and consistently locking up with solid confidence. Nested inside the G-10 handle scales are skeletonized dual steel liners increasing rigidity and strength without the burden of unneeded weight. The liners are scalloped, extending slightly beyond the handle scales creating textured jimping around a large portion of the handle’s perimeter. The matte black non-reflective blade is Crucible 154-CM steel, hollow-ground with aggressive thumb serrations (jimping) above a super-sized 14mm Spyderco Round Hole. A black three-screw pocket clip is left/right hand friendly and positions the folder for tip-up carry
