A linerless Ti Manix 2 (pic heavy)

[ferider]

Starting from the newly available Flytanium Manix 2 scales, a donor Manix backspacer, a spare Manix LW Pivot and Pivot screws that I had.

To replace the scale screws, you need 4-40 3/16 100 degree torx screws (a bit shorter than stock). Then you need to drill open the Flytanium Pivot holes. Finally make the lanyard spacer a bit shorter and voila.

Compared to a lined Manix (sceletonized) with Rockscale Ti scales (lighter than Flytanium since they have machined gaps for weight reduction)

Will replace the screws in the pics with undercut 4-40 flatheads soon.

The knife feels great, amazingly thin, slicy and light. I don't use pocket clips on most of my knives, in case you wonder. Probably can ask the Flytanium guys to skip the holes or make them smaller, so they can be tapped matching Spydie clip screws.

Cheers,

Roland.

Those are some great shots. You can really see the difference in thickness.

Man that's nice! I've been wanting a linerless manix but never thought about doing it that way. Thanks for sharing!

It's so thin the.... "thumb cage" looks huge. Not a bad thing, you can't miss them.

Vary cool mod!

Ti slabs would look great on the back-lock Manix II

Great job...Flytanium really is awesome and how they're available in Brass,Copper,Carbon Fiber and Titanium.I'm going to pickup a pair of titanium scales. Not sure I want to go linerless right away

 

[Cscotttsss]

Very cool!

That does look very nice.

Not something I would feel comfortable doing myself. Very jealous. Good job!

Update:

- hard to find better Pivot Screws, so I decided to "countersink" the washers instead and am happy with the results.
- Carried the linerless M4 Manix for a couple of days, and really like it. So I decided to do a second one, stainless and hollow ground, as a complement for rainy days:

Roland.
