Detailed product description
Spyderco Manix 2 C101MPCW2 – CruCarta edition for demanding EDC users
Spyderco Manix 2 C101MPCW2, nicknamed “CruCarta,” is a folding knife that combines the legendary ergonomics of the Manix model with premium materials and robust construction. The blade made from elite CPM Cru-Wear powder steel with a fine satin finish and a Leaf profile offers an excellent balance between cutting performance and durability. The brown canvas Micarta handle provides a secure grip and develops a unique patina over time, turning the knife into a personal tool with character.
At the heart of the mechanism is the patented Ball Bearing Lock, an extremely strong, smooth, and ambidextrous lock that allows safe and quick operation with either hand. All of this is complemented by a reversible pocket clip and Spyderco’s iconic round hole for lightning-fast opening.
The result? A premium EDC knife for those who want reliability, strength, and aesthetics in one package.

Maintenance and care
- Cru-Wear holds an edge for a very long time, but regular care will extend its service life:
- Wipe the blade after use and apply a light coat of oil from time to time
To maintain the edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for plain edges as well. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
