Looks A+ too me :)

I love it!!! I have been looking for a new project and was thinking about one with a Manix 2. If you DIY please add more pics.

That looks awesome, and incredibly like a folding woodcraft mule.

Wow, that's gorgeous...one of my favorite woods. I'm not really a fan of all the liner jimping with wood scales though...they don't really seem like something you would pair together, but still very nice. I would kill for some scales like this for my ZDP Delica.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the compliments. I'm kinda new at modding knives. I just have allot of time and patience so it kinda helps. I also did a Lone Wolf Harsey T2 from the same piece of wood. It came out nice also. I didn't post it here because its a spyderco forum...lol. I like the Manix and I want to find some moonglow and create a set of scales for another Manix. That **** is hard to find.

Wow! Outstanding work. The kids were asking me "how does he get the wood to shine like that?"

Really nice job.

Actually I just used 2 coats of Tru-oil. I love that stuff. You can buff stabilized woods out really nice, but I need a little more practice at that. Tru oil works great.
