Must be on peoples minds in Golden but I would guess they're checking to see how this sells first.Popsickle wrote:I would Imagine that is in the works, but I'm wondering if it's dependent on how this model sells firstSpydergirl88 wrote:A Manix2 LW Backlock would be so awesome imo

Everything he said!Joris Mo wrote:It's true that it already is a very lightweight knife with the linerless G10. I do think that some extra weight advantage could be had from using FRN or FRCP and I like the advantage of having a more affordable version of the same blade, tends to make for a perfect user.
I just really like the FRN users and the FRCP isn't all that bad either so I like the idea of a LW version but we'll see if it's gonna happen.
(I also like the fact that they seem to lend themselves easily to different versions/ colors and a cheaper version could get pretty close to a "folding Mule")
Spydergirl88 wrote:So since the m2 backlock is linerless and has a backlock will that have an effect on price... Do we think it will be more expensive or less expensive than the current g10 m2 cbbl?
I hope so! The lil temp 3 dropped and I saw the price and backed off. Granted that was a Japanese release. Being made in the US with comparable or even less material should at the very least keep the price the sameStarLord wrote:Yeah, probably the same price.
Do you have plans yet for what material you're going to use, whether or how much you'll recess the pivot screws, etc?Evil D wrote:I'm hoping these scales are super simple to make. If so I plan on having some made that are 2x as thick so I can contour the handles down really nice. It's gonna rock.
I think this one would be so popular the molds would pay for themselves quick, especially if it's a new style contoured handle hint, hintEvil D wrote:I'm not sure FRN would be any cheaper? FRN molds are pretty expensive.
I may just make my own G10 scales and epoxy them to the factory scales and then blend them together. That would keep me from having to deal with drilling the holes properly and such, I'd just need to drill access holes through the outer layers so I can get to the screws later.DougC-3 wrote:Do you have plans yet for what material you're going to use, whether or how much you'll recess the pivot screws, etc?Evil D wrote:I'm hoping these scales are super simple to make.

I'd like to follow that if and when you post any of it. I've got a little dark green and some foliage green G-10, but those might look a little tacky on black.Evil D wrote:I may just make my own G10 scales and epoxy them to the factory scales and then blend them together.
