AWT scales all day. Definitely worth them money.

Not sure about FRN but I had my GP REX 45 Manix 2 in FRCP crack on me. It is a heavy user and noticed the crack after some garden use. I just swapped them out for AWT scales. Didn't send it in cus I disassembled it to dye the original scales and that voided the warranty anyhow. Love the new scales ...

Had these beauties show up yesterday.

Looks awesome to me.

Strong, yes. Unbreakable, absolutely not. The reason I replaced the lightweight scales is because they cracked. Not even sure how it happened. The only thing that kept it from completely breaking was the little steel insert by the blade.I did Rit Dye the scales about 4-5 months before this happened ...

Not a great picture, the hump in the handle is gone and the edges are contoured instead of blocky. To me it's way more comfortable in the hand.

Faucet, Dawn dish soap, toothbrush and a air compressor is all I use. I live in the desert so no oil needed.

That is good. What about WD 40?

No WD 40, not a big fan of the smell. I just blow it out real good with the compressor. For adhesives I just use rubbing alcohol.

AWT scales are absolutely awesome replacements for the lightweight scales.

Manix 2 LW. Did the AWT scales on the SPY 27 & REX 45. On the REX 45 I also heat treated all the hardware bronze and Cerakoted the clip OD Green

Thank you @Enigma. I'll add this one for this week

Got some AWT scales for the REX45 & new SPY27 light weights.
