I have nothing against blurple or G-10 but for some reason, I just feel like it cheapens the Manix, so I put my own spin on it.
It's a lot heavier now, but I don't mind. I like a weighty knife!! Enjoy the eye candy

I love what you have done with the Manix. For me the LW cheapens the design in to the ground. But i get what you are aiming for. The manix g10 is one of the best knives ever to put custom scales on it makes it a completely different knife.SpyderForLyfe wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 2:11 pmI have nothing against blurple or G-10 but for some reason, I just feel like it cheapens the Manix, so I put my own spin on it.

I also love the heavy feel it gets from those scales. Here is my dlc Manix 2 with brass scales and blue ti lock.

Do you allow the scales to develop a personality or do do maintenance over time ? What are your preference? MG2

Thank you very much! I agree about the LW models 100%. I also feel like the plastic cage also cheapens it I now own 3 of these, including an XL, and each one has a replacement cage (2 are titanium). But I left the black G10 on the remaining two.apollo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 3:51 pm

Yours is gorgeous with the DLC finish. I'm waiting for the native chief DLC in M390 with brown scales to drop, should be any time now. Your Manix reminds me of that look

It has already developed a dark patina and it's only been about a month. I think I'm eventually going to take the scales off, give them a brasso spa day, then let them develop a new patina which I will leave alone.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 6:49 pmDo you allow the scales to develop a personality or do do maintenance over time ?

When I put the scales on, I did so as they came from FlyT. I regret that, I feel like they had a coating of something on them that I should've taken off, and now it's contributing to am unnatural patina, but that could very well be my imagination.
Maybe I'll treat them this weekend, keep an eye out for pictures!

Re: S110v Manix 2 with copper scales and a brass cage
Thx i am very proud of it. They were a bit of a pita to get on. The lanyard tube hole was not big enough so i needed to file them in very very carefully. But it succeeded so i am happy with how they look.SpyderForLyfe wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:44 pmThank you very much! I agree about the LW models 100%.

Only thing i wish that is that the color of my lock did not so fade away over time. It was bright blue now it is more and more looking darker blue to even grey at parts.
