Considering custom scales for my Manix 2 G10

[dreadpirate]

Thinking about replacing the grey G10 scales of the Manix 2 cruwear sprint with other scales. Carbon fiber preferred; G10 o/w. Something darker in color.

Always a good idea.
I did the same with mine. But i went an other direction of colour. :)

[dreadpirate]

[dreadpirate]

Anyone have any experience with these scales that are on Amazon???

Or these Allen Putman scales from Blade HQ

I did the same with my Cruwear. Allen Putman G10 scales from http://www.bladescales.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Expensive, but I figure it's more expensive to have a $160+ gray knife that sits unused in the drawer because I do not like the scales.

I like these, they fit like a glove. They are not very grippy like peel ply G10, only the milled pattern gives it some grip, but I'm 100% fine with that. I filed down the aggressive liner and thumb jimping too.

The Allen Putman G10 scales from his site are a good deal.

I think bladehq has some.

[dreadpirate]

I appreciate the info and pictures :)

Does anyone who doesn't like the gray scales want to sell them?

[apollo]

Cuscadi in germany.

[dreadpirate]

[dreadpirate]

Wow.

You say you got these from Cuscadi?

[apollo]

Yes it is a personal order because they do not make those scales for stock but they will make them for you if you ask them. :)
The fit and finish is outstanding and they fit like spyderco did it themselfs. :)

I love the pattern cut into them, what do I have to ask for to get that on mine?

[apollo]

If you want the same as mine you can ask them for toxic green rugged scales with anso patern.
Then they will surely know witch to make. :) I wish spyderco could make more of these kind of scales themselfs i love the grip on these. :)

Thanks.

The Anso pattern is the cuts on them correct?

[apollo]

Thanks.

correct. :) It is the same patern as on the Zulu. :) Nice and grippy. And it gives the g10 some extra beautyfull drawings. :)
