The Manix is probably my favorite 🇺🇸 made Spyderco and the ultimate upgrade for them is Rockscale Design’s skinny scales. It takes that knife to another level IMO.

I’ve heard so many good things about those scales. Very cool, no liners right?

@JJ-lu6mg 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it eliminates the liners. I did 2 builds with them one with the DLC Cruwear blade and the other one is the satin bladed M390 version, both look amazing.

@@JJ-lu6mg I need to pick up a set of these. I always balked at the $$$ but after having some bad tolerance issues with flytanium and other aftermarket scales, I can’t stress enough how important correct tolerances are especially if you’re removing the liners like on the RSD’s. I have seen some pics of the milling and I’ve got to say. They look flawless 😍😍. Love Cruwear also. Need to pick some up for testing.

As one of the viewers mentioned, there’s NO NEED to remove the pocket clip unless you plan on swapping scales 😉👍🏻

One of the things that I love about the manix, is that looks like disassembling it doesn't untune it, unlike all my linerlocks which are a total pain in the butt to center BTW thanks for that "tape" trick, it helped me greatly !

@tenkenknives4386 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks man! You’d be hard pressed to break anything on this knife…minus the g10 factory ball cage that is lol. The only “risky” part about this knife is the lock assembly. Very easy to lose the spring or the ball bearing. Thank goodness for painters tape lol.

Interesting video. My most used Manix 2 models are pinned lightweight so I won't be doing this unless the factory ball cage breaks. Also I believe I would tape up the cutting edge first just in case.

@EverNumb 7 ай бұрын

I have a newer Manix 2 lightweight with screws. Does the cage for the Manix 2 fit into the Manix 2 lightweight with no issues? flytanium says the cage is only for the regular manix 2. Is that just because some Manix 2 lightweights are pinned?

I have a Manix 2 XL which makes this annoying little clicking sound when the blade is being opened. I imagine that this clicking sound is caused by the plastic ball cage and cage ball interaction. Is there any way to correct this? Would a replacement Flytanium ball cage correct this clicking issue?
