Optimized, Basic - Spyderco Manix 2 Maxamet Review

[@AVH8TOR]

I have the Para 3 in Maxamet and I personally love the gray. I bought the sand washed deep carry Lynch clip for it and it looks really good. It’s now my favorite knife for edc.

[@Orochi_001]

I love this knife, and I finally scored a Maxamet PM2 that’s arriving today. I can’t wait

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Man i really like your videos, you are so honest!:)

[@49giants3]

Yeah red handles would be awesome!! At least the stonewash is different. Thanks for the post Pete

[@convex7456]

Maxemet. Used to roll out other steels lol

[@headfuel]

Brilliant review! Thank you.

[@andyrichardson6188]

Good video. I had the brilliant idea that I would buy this knife and then swap the scales. Didn't realize before that this knife was sealed. So obviously not an option. And I agree I would have expected more exciting scales.

[@djpmpdle]

Great reviews and thanx for the education of the different blade steels! A 5 Star effort and channel thanks dude high 5!!!

[@EDCwithAaron]

Damn you now I want to try to blade swap one with my g10 s30v manix

[@VicariousReality7]

From a purely structural point of view, i am not sure that is a good idea The lock test that Bladehq did on a bunch of knives showed how the bolts holding the locking block in the frame on a G-10 manix sheared right off under 200 pounds

[@mastermachetier5594]

Strangely enough I love the feel of spyderco frn over some of the more premium materials . I just wish my Manix in s110v was smoother to open and close :(

[@tomj0008]

Finally found one I'd pay for. Full price 105! Is ebay, should arrive today, the seller answered my questions so it should be real and all good. If not, I have ebays buyer protection, might take a bit if a issue but will get my money back if a problem. Also the non pinned version!

[@mail2ted]

The Steel is very impressive, personally I'd pick the Native 5 with Maxamet, the size and proportions (and cost) being more to my liking, great review.

[@Zelrick42]

Cedric, it's FRCP handles, get a look between the Endura and the Manix, the material is different. I agree on color, the grey is sorta bla. I have the S110V version and I like the Blurple, it makes the knife stand out a little, even though, like you said, it's a humble work knife.

[@Lugermonger35]

good video but 1000min to1025 I love that quote!

[@smeefbeef367]

i would love for them to release a harder use version of this with the steel liners and g10, not that these aren't strong i just like the weight.

[@johnd9357]

What's your favorite knife at the moment? Spydie Chef I'm assuming?

[@CedricAda]

J D Love my Al Mar Falcon, Benchmade 940, Small Sebenza and yes, the Spydiechef :)

[@49giants3]

Hey Pete have you had any problems sharpening the manix with maxamet? People say that it chips like crazy, and even up to like half inch chips at times.

[@CedricAda]

+49Giants this one is fine, but yeah, there was some hit and miss early maxamet from this and the natives that came out

[@49giants3]

Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors oh wow. Thanks for the reply

[@justinnemeth8931]

Para 2 will be coming out at $250 - $300 AUD by the look of it, and guess what colour zzz. So add another $100 for some decent coloured scales I suppose. How hard is it to give us some colour options like the Delica and Endura?

[@jamesondancy2183]

I have a PM2 in Blurple and I hate the color, don't care for the British Racing Green on my ZDP either, but I think that grey looks great with the stone wash! Ha ha everyone is different!

[@carlosmatos9848]

You could dye the blurple scales black with Rit dye, G10 and FRN can be dyed easily

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Actually strange enough spyderco almost never do bright colours except the yellow colour... I have seen some interesting colours on endora but that is it....

[@jetsgo66]

DOITNOW00 they do a whole lot of colors just gotta look out for sprints

[@BeardmanDan]

I actually prefer the frcp having owned both versions

[@jfnurod]

I've wanted one for along time but when then I imagine what it would be like to reprofile an the urge leaves me quickly lol

[@johnd9357]

It sharpens pretty easily honestly.

[@EDCwithAaron]

My manix 2 is much much smoother than this. It's the s30v one with g10 and full steel liners, the lock has slightly more resistance than my 940 but it is WAY smoother than the 940. Smoother than any knife I've ever handled.

[@Nyall]

No way can I disengage the lock and close it that easy on mine.

[@Moostery]

67 HRC. Fuck. drop that thing and the blade will shatter like glass.

[@smashlee6181]

it'll shatter your tiles like glass too

[@frankwoods135]

I would never leave that knife anywhere if I paid 200$ for it lol the knife looks really cool to me it looks like a military knife g10 would be awesome in maxamet

[@CedricAda]

+Casey Bryan paramilitary 2 is coming in maxamet this year, so military cant be too far behind!

[@gotsurvivalism]

I have on of these. It RUSTS LIKE CRAZY!!!

[@CedricAda]

+Vincent Saiz yeah the fact it shipped with a MASSIVE pack of silica crystals made me definitely ensure I wiped it down and dried it off after use!

[@cephalopoder]

I use edc spray on all my blades. keeps them like new.

[@crf450rbulletdavid9]

I tried taking out the blade on my s90v manix in orange frcp and it seems to be fixed in place. I got mine dirty and was just looking to clean it. But in order for a blade swap I imagine one would have to practically destroy the handles and even then would it work? Idk.

[@ascendedfashy9632]

What are you doing up at 5 am?

[@samibmailful]

I regret that I only saw this video now. I bought it and locking bearing is aweful. Cant figure out how to fix it

[@bblando65]

Why does a high end company like Spyderco build knives that consumers can't take apart? Such BS......would have liked one of these if you could disassemble it....

[@jeremys8360]

bblando65 this is made to be as light as possible. This is the light weight model. They have a regular model with steel liners, g10, and screws

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

Blade swap!

[@VicariousReality7]

I will say this, the handle is too square for any kind of heavy work Not that i would choose any Spyderco for heavy duty, seeing how i broke two Enduras

[@carlosmatos9848]

The Manix XL can take a beating, but yeah if I wanted something for heavy duty I'd probably use something like a ZT 0562

[@trinajska]

Maxamet is not good for longevity

[@proctortoad]

No benchmade knife quality? Bro benchmade is not only price gouging their customers they using 10 year old materials. It’s like when you were in high schools and thought your dad could beat up any man and then you come across a UFC fighter and figure out what’s going on.
