Manix LW Scale swap

[1Hiker2]

Is the Manix 2 blade that comes with the FRN scales the same configuration as the ones offered with the G10 scales? I want to change the FRN scales to titanium scales.

They are riveted on the LW models, so you will have to drill them out and replace with screws. I think uxo2 has successfully done this before.

The blades for LW and G10 are the same and can be swapped out along with the
Cage and ball.

One problem you will encounter removing the blade from the LW if you choose to go the quick route
You will end up bending/breaking the FRN removing the blade.
If you don't care about reusing the scales again.. pry away.
If you might want to go back to Light Weight again.
Drill out the rivets and do a Screw conversion.

Second... The back spacer/Bar are different from LW and G10 those cannot be swapped.

I'd just buy a G10 version and keep the LW.

I'd love to get a diff in my LW. CTS-BD1 does not work for me at all. Gets dull sitting in my unused knife drawer.
