Manix 2 Rockscale Skinny scales

[kingston73]

Just installed some Rockscale design skinny scales and they are great. Excellent feel, I like getting rid of the liners with all the excessive jimping. The only thing I dislike is that the lanyard tube isn't snug and it rattles a bit. Overall I'm happy with this version but I'm going to look into somehow fixing the rattle.

Also, replaced the ballcage with a titanium one and the ball with a ceramic. I tried a reduced spring but didn't like it, IMO it made the lock too weak and also more effort to deploy the blade because there's less of a detent.

Looks pretty sweet!

That's pretty cool

How are the ergos? My first impression is, that the straight part would take some of the comfort away.

I prefer it to the stock shape. The stock shape does lock your hand into place better but it also doesn’t give you any options. The straight grip doesn’t force you into anything and it’s still plenty grippy and comfortable.

I hope we see more liner delete options like this!

I like that with this mod you don't have the jimping all over the knife. That was one of the things, I don't like on M2. Used to have first Manix backlock and it was so much comfortable with smooth liners. Slightly short spring and ceramic ball hepled with action on mine.

Are those scales milled out for weight reduction on the inside? Curious what the new weight is...
