They feel extremely solid while not adding any weight. In most cases, they actually take away weight.

Carrying my Shaman today. They have a Bone Yard section. I think these were around $50. Also, not that this is important to everyone, but they are precisely engineered. In my experience they take away any centering and loose tolerances. The Para 3 LW is like a completely different model with them and still maintains the crazy lightweight.

These really are great. One side liner delete, no extra clip holes, and that chamfering is pretty awesome.

Got a set for my Para 3 G10. Same greatness, but the pocket clip placement of the G10 model still bugs me a bit. Aftermarket clip makes it better, but still. Makes me want to pickup the LW model, and the AWT scales for it. I'll have to wait for the next tool steel release, I guess.

i really wish they'd make some with the manix swell. i'm not sure why they would decide to make that knife less ergonomic. i wrote them and they said they aren't planning on making them with a swell. crazy talk.

Very strange, you'd think they would offer both options?? I'd imagine a large part of the popularity with the Manix is due to its ergonomics as it is.

yeah. the part that's weirdest to me is that it does nothing to the width of the knife in pocket, which is the primary complaint people have about the size of the manix. it only changes the feel in hand.

This is why we shall take our hard earned money over to Rockscale Designs for the Manix. They have both. And plain titanium feels and wears better than aluminum.
I got them for the Para 3 LW and the Shaman because I don't use those gripped behind the choil, but the Manix works great behind the choil. Hump or go home.
