Help me decide!

I've finally got my carbon fiber scales for my Manix! But...I'm not sure which knife I want to put them on. I intended on putting these on the KW exclusive, but after matching them up to that knife and the Cruwear model, I'm not sure yet but I MAY put them on Cruwear model and sell or hang onto the smooth G10 scales.

Originally I was going to put them on the KW knife and then take those gray scales and put them on the Cruwear, but the carbon fiber sure looks nice with the Cruwear too!

Which combination do you guys thinks looks best!?! I've pondered this all weekend long :confused:

[JonLeBlanc]

Hah, you prob know what I'm gonna say, but it's number two I think the carbon-carbon theme is a cool one!

The carbon fiber scales on the cruwear looks like the knifecenter exclusive so that's what I would go with and leave the knifeworks exclusive stock with the grey g10

[PStone]

I vote carbon fiber cruwear. That gray and black is one of the best combos

+1. The KW black and gray is so nice. The cf looks great with the satin cruwear.

With what you’ve got there, I’d put cf on the Cruwear, and the black g10 with the black 52100.

[FullFlatMind]

CF on the cruwear.

[legOFwhat?]

I'd leave the 52100 as is and put the CF on the CW.

Carbon fiber scales look better with black blade as for me

[Notsurewhy]

I like contrast so I'd go Cru/CF or smooth g10 and 52100/grey. The CF/black 52100 is nice too. The grey on cruwear is my least favorite combo by far. Grey knives with grey handles are unbearably boring To me. Only reason I don't own a spydiechef.

[TkoK83Spy]

Funny how they were intended for the 52100, but I have to agree...the carbon fiber really does look good with that satin Cruwear!

[ferider]

^^^ wrong everyone.

The correct answer is: buy another Manix 2 (for example s110v?) for the CF scales. :)

[MMGRenovations]

Are the scales smooth or peel-ply? I can’t tell

They are peel ply. Took me about 15 minutes and installed them on the Cruwear last night. Turned out great! Lost a bit of weight as well.

[TkoK83Spy]

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's input, and reassuring me that adding the scales to the Cruwear was the best choice! Really loving this knife now, even more so than the original version. :D Funny how I bought a black deep carry clip with these scales to throw on the 52100 blade and then went the complete opposite. Didn't really like the black clip against the carbon fiber scales, so that went to the KW exclusive.

CF the Cruwear, it stands out better with the satin blade. Plus no more smooth scales.

Speaking of which where is a cold place to get scales for the Manix 2 I need to get rid of those smooth scales on mine.
