Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
I have had a hard use Manix 2 LW for a few years and although I drooled over the ergonomics and weight, it just never got much pocket time. The main reason I didn’t seem to EDC it was it’s width, just never felt right in my front pocket. A few weeks ago I started a little re-grind project. She’s not quite finished but most of what’s left is just a little touch up work. Here she is a Manix 2 DW(Diet Weight) at about 2.4 oz with a stretch like blade shape. Let me know what ya think, cause I can’t tell if it’s gorgeous or hideous haha

Re: Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
I like it! Great job OkanSeven. I have a trans blue/BD1 M2 that just sits in my knife box. I bet it would see a lot more carry time if it was modded like that.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

That turned out really nice. You did a great job on the re-grind. I'll bet it was a fun project. :)

Re: Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
Great execution and design. You've modded up a Stretch-homage with CBB lock.
As an old fan of Pro-Hunter/Venator/Grip/ Stretch and the UKPK drop points, that one rings my marimbas.
kudos, OkanSeven

Re: Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
Love it. I've been planning for awhile to mod the spine on my maxamet m2 but I'm thinking to grind it straight like a pm2. Para-manix-tary! :D

Re: Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
Looks great! I may try this on my M2XL
Re: Stretched Manix 2 LW Mod
The result is very nice!
Just wondering if those brownish color on the spine sign of overheating?
