Since the lanyard tube is an integral part of handle integrity on the Manix 2, I've been reticent to do a scale swap, let alone going to a material that isn't as strong as G10...
I never liked the idea of a flared tube to provide structural integrity to the handle, especially on a work knife like a Manix.
Fireside Co. makes some nice Terotuf scales in several colors. I actually might get some one day. My 15V Manix won’t be here until the 27th
I remember the first time trying to remove the lanyard tube from my PM2 back in the day. Yikes . Granted it's a little easier to remove on the Manix, but I'm glad there's tools that exist now to help with the process. I'm too cheap for that though and designed my own pusher and 3D printed it. Makes the removal of the flared tube much easier, but agreed, would be nice if it were just a screwed in standoff instead. Also agreed on the AWT's, they're great.Brock O Lee wrote: ↑Fri Dec 23, 2022 11:52 pmI never liked the idea of a flared tube to provide structural integrity to the handle, especially on a work knife like a Manix.
This is one of the reasons why I like the AWT scales so much (there are several). They replace the flared lanyard tube with a proper stand-off, and the lanyard tube goes in the trash where it belongs...
