Manix 2 FRCP Blue Plain, one of the best E.D.C. folders. Awarded for the most innovative American design by Winner of Blade magazine.

CTS BD1N is an American martensitic stainless steel with high carbon, chromium, and nitrogen content. Developed and produced in the USA by Carpenter Technology Corporation, it’s an enhanced version of CTS-BD1, offering greater working hardness—up to 63 HRC. Key differences include the absence of vanadium and the presence of 0.10%–0.15% nitrogen, which produces nearly four times as many atoms as vanadium. CTS BD1N also contains increased levels of chromium, manganese, and silicon, resulting in improved performance. It excels as a blade steel with high corrosion resistance, notable edge retention, excellent toughness, and a fine-grained microstructure.
Ball Bearing-Lock - one of the strongest blade locking mechanism. Hardened ball bearing housed in a black polymer basket in the open position pressed against the blade by a spring. Made in USA.
Blade - Leaf-Shaped and 3.2 mm thick. Eliminating glare, Satin Finish (semi matte) coating. Plain blade is Full Flat Grind for excellent cutting edge geometry with sharp tip and reduced weight. The enlarged 14 mm SpyderHole round notch makes it possible to open the knife also with a glove. The notched thumb rest and Finger Choil between the handle and the cutting edge enhance the control of the knife.
Handle - blue color. Made of light translucent FRCP (Fiberglass Reinforced Co-Polymer), has a bi-directional non-slip texture (Bi-Directional Texturing), which ensures grip in all conditions (also with greasy, wet hands). Screw-on wire clip (left/right) lets you carry the knife in tip-up position. The notch on the back of the Spine Jimping handle makes it easier to grip. In the back of the handle lanyard hole, an enlarged cord hole.
