Manix 2 Breakdown

[jay2pointoh]

I just did a breakdown of my Manix 2 sprint run. I wanted to see just how it all went together and re-lube it. First off let me say that the torx screws on this knife are just robust and they are deep enough to get a real good purchase on. Also, the screws were locktite'd on mine and I assume most are so be very careful to use the right size and not strip the heads. Sooooo here we go.......

Now.....LETS DISSECT THIS ARACHNID!

2 blue slabs
2 skeletonized proud liners
1 FFG leaf blade
1 lock-housing backspacer
1 caged ball bearing lock with polyurethane cage and spring
1 non adjustable pivot with dual screws
2 phosphor-bronze bushings
4 backspacer screws
1 polished clip with 3 screws

Check out the blade/lock interface and note the manufacturers date (November 2009)

The ball bearing only drops in one way, from the top. And that's the same way it goes in the knife.

Pivot

Bushings

Tapered backspacer screws

"Smurfskin"

couldn't get the lanyard hole/pillar off of one side. Its tough and I didn't want to force it.

And lastly that strong clip.

Thanks for watching and remember, "Edge-ucation is key"

you took apart your blue manix? I think your surplus of ball bearings has gone to your head!

although the hidden manufacture date on the blade is interesting to learn about.

Cool, thanks for the take down!
They really hogged material out of the liners, I think I perfer the full liners on my black G-10 hollow grind model.

That's great, but can you put it back together?
