This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Manix 2 Lightweight Sprint Run Brown FRCP, Stonewashed is one of the best-rated knives in the Spyderco range , combining innovative design with exceptional functionality. The Sprint Run version in Earth Brown color is a collector's edition, equipped with a Blade made of CPM 15V tool steel, which provides extremely high abrasion resistance and excellent edge retention - features particularly desired by users working intensively with the knife. Thanks to the leaf shape blade profile, the model guarantees versatility and precision cutting, and the classic opening with the Spyderco Round Hole allows one-handed operation. Stonewashed finish gives the whole thing a matte, utilitarian look and does a good job of masking minor scratches from everyday use. Handle made of ultralight FRCP composite provides stiffness and resistance at very low weight, making this model ideal for EDC. The structure of the grips with Bi-Directional Texturing™ increases grip confidence even in harsh conditions. The innovative Ball Bearing Lock™ mechanism is responsible for smooth operation and safety, and the steel wire clip allows deep and discreet carry. This is for advanced users and collectors, who expect performance, reliability and innovation.
CPM 15V - the most vanadium-containing 14.50% (V), wear-resistant stainless tool steel with 5.25% chromium (Cr), 3.40% carbon (C) and 1.30% molybdenum (Mo). Its high vanadium content (it contains 50% more hard vanadium carbides in its microstructure than CPM 10V) promotes the formation of hard vanadium carbides for strength and exceptional wear resistance, and increases corrosion resistance. This unique steel is designed for the production of high-grade blades requiring exceptional toughness and knife wedges where longer life is desired. Produced by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods.
Ball Bearing-Lock, one of the strongest blade locking mechanisms. Hardened ball bearing housed in a black polymer cage in the open position pressed against the blade by a spring. Made in USA.
Blade - Leaf-Shaped type (leaf shape), thickness 3.2 mm. Non-reflective Satin Finish (semi-matte) coating. Plain blade was derived with Full Flat Grind, which gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Blade was subjected to a specialized heat treatment protocol which was developed by the well-known American knifemaker, Shawn Houston. The result is a blade that offers extreme sharpness and unparalleled edge durability. The SpyderHole round cutout (a Spyderco patent) makes it possible to open the knife with a glove as well. Prominent Finger Choil - an arched undercut for the index finger and a notched thumb ramp on the back of the Blade increase control of the knife.
Handle - in brown color, reserved for knives made of CPM 15V steel. Made of lightweight FRCP (Fiberglass Reinforced Co-Polymer), it features bi-directional non-slip grips (Bi-Directional Texturing) for grip in all conditions (including greasy, wet hands). A screw-on wire clip (left/right) allows you to carry the knife in tip-up (tip up) position. A notch on the back of the Spine Jimping Handle makes it easier to grip. In the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, an enlarged hole for a cord.
