The bright yellow handle making this Salt series knife really stand out. So often this high visibility can actually be one of the best safety and survival features, as you are much less likely to lose the knife, and can always spot it quickly when you put it down.<br \/>\nSpyderco have covered the handle with textured grip features, from the signature bi-directional texturing on the main flats of the handle to molded in jimping in several areas.<br \/>\nAlso featuring another Spyderco signature design element, the tip-up wire spring pocket clip that can be fitted on either side of the handle. The Manix 2 Salt uses Spyderco&#8217;s Ball Bearing lock, and this has a black slider that contrasts against the yellow handle. Ending this gallery as the blade is opened.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13796 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-13796 { --fg-gutter: 10px;

opening hole. The lock slider shown at its maximum position, before it springs forward to engage the ball bearing; the coil locking spring is clearly visible.<br \/>\nJimping has been added on the blade next to the handle for both the first finger and thumb to ensure a rock solid grip. This Salt series knife comes in CPM MagnaCut, and when you look at the engraving it is quite different in appearance to most Spyderco&#8217;s, even leading some who have seen this knife to question its authenticity. This is not in question as it was handed to me by Spyderco at IWA 2024, so is without question the real deal.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13810 .fg-image { width: 150px;

sharpen it. That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p>Spyderco reliably produces exceptional factory edges, and this Manix 2 Salt is true to form.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-13821 .fg-image { width: 150px;
