There is nothing wrong with spyderco as a high-quality knife worth buying.

All this talk about the PM2 isn’t fair without mentioning its beefier counterpart. The Manix 2 is another supremely well-designed mid-size knife intended for EDC tasks. Like the PM2, the Manix 2 is a revision of an earlier design, but with more of a difference: the original Manix was a lockback, whereas the Manix 2 uses a caged ball bearing lock to secure the blade. Like the lockback it’s fully ambidextrous, but it’s much easier to manipulate one-handed and it’s not prone to vertical blade play from wear or lint build up. To make things confusing, they’ve brought back a lockback version of the Manix 2 for 2017.

Unlike the PM2 which only comes in one configuration (3.4” plain edge blade, G10 handles) the Manix 2 is actually a line of 3 distinct knives. The standard Manix 2 features G10 scales with full stainless liners and a 3.375” leaf-shaped blade (full flat ground, with an oversized thumb hole) in CPM S30V steel for a 5 ounce weight. The Manix 2 lightweight has the same blade but trades the lined G10 handle for a linerless FRCP (fiberglass reinforced co-polymer) handle as well as a lightweight wire clip for a weight reduction down to 3 ounces. All variants allow for ambidextrous tip up carry. Oh and if you want something bigger, there’s the powerhouse Manix 2 XL..

The Single Best Spyderco Knife: The Paramilitary 2

As I’ve mentioned in my article about the best EDC knives currently on the market, the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 is ultimately the best folding EDC knife on the market currently offered by any company, let alone just Spyderco. While this is obviously my own opinion, it seems to be quite a popular one to hold amongst knife-lovers. Visit the multitude of forum threads on the topic of “best Spyderco EDC knife” or even just plain “best EDC knife” online and much more likely than not, you’ll see a litter of Spyderco Paramilitary 2 responses after the OP.

What makes it pretty much the single most highly recommended Spyderco knife? On paper, it’s pretty flawless. It does an excellent job at being above-average at pretty much any task you can imagine, works as a tactical option while not looking overly tactical, is relatively well priced, is a great cutter without being a light-saber, and is essentially the best well-rounded knife you could possibly imagine. Keep it in mind to pick up to test out if, like us, you’ve got a soft spot in your heart for Spydercos, and yet you haven’t tried handling a PM2 in a knife store before. While I can’t guarantee you’ll fall in love with the knife (I myself didn’t even though it’s, like I said, pretty perfect on paper), there’s more of a chance it will end up striking your fancy than not.
