When Spyderco introduced the first sprint run Shaman combining the traditional look of brown canvas Micarta scales and CPM CRU-WEAR blade steel, they were overwhelmed by the response. Later dubbed “CruCarta,” this distinctive pairing of old-school, high-performance materials became an instant classic. To ensure they could meet customer demand when they applied the “CruCarta” treatment to other models, Spyderco decided to make them full-line products, not limited editions. They began with the Para Military 2 and are now proud to add four more USA-made models to this elite family. The Manix features full stainless steel liners, slim brown canvas Micarta scales, and CPM CRU-WEAR tool steel blades that offer an outstanding balance of edge retention and toughness. The scales of all these knives are sanded smooth but left unpolished, so they will naturally patina with age and handling to develop their own unique character.

Spyderco Manix 2 XL, Brown Canvas Micarta / Satin CPM CRU-WEAR - C95MPCW2
Truly a utility knife of excellent quality, the sharpening came perfectly from the factory and the crucarta combination is exceptional. The blockade is a rock. Although I made modifications to the handle, I am happy with this knife, and the cruwear is treated like the gods. Spyderco does not disappoint at all in how it treats its steel.

Manix 2 XL Cruwear/Micarta
I have been carrying the Manix 2 XL for a couple of years now. I have been collecting knifes for numerous years, and I have not found a folding pattern that possesses everything that the Manix 2 XL does. I saw this version come out and I bugged my wife for weeks to get a chance to order it. Rivers Edge Cutlery made it a pleasant purchasing experience. I have only had the tool for a week now, but I am beyond pleased with the product. I look forward to the knife's change over time with the Micarta and Cruwear.
