Just got done a screw conversion using 2-56 heat set inserts.

She came out really pretty.
Nice work.

Good job with heat inserts but I don't like the thinned insert for the stainless blade stop.It is the reason I drill it and the figure 8 pieces out, and use a hardened 1/8" blade pivot for strength.

Thanks. In my uses it's more than strong enough. I tried this first on my S110V M2 LW that has 3d printed scales. In testing the scales broke before anything else.

I haven't been paying attention...did a Mint Manix M4 drop with a blacked-out blade?

I'm really enjoying the M4 steel--seems to give a remarkably aggressive edge. Would like a version where corrosion is less of a concern.

The only coated Manix 2 M4 was the natural G10 one a few years ago. They also had the Manix 2 XL G10 before that.
To my knowledge they haven’t released a DLC bladed LW.
