I got the Sprint run Manix 2 in M390 and I’m usually pretty boring with what I like being boring old black G-10 and black DLC coated blade but this is a satin blade and I don’t like the brown G-10 scales it came with but thought it might look good with some micarta scales on it and need some help with that

Where did you get those. I don’t like any of the ones on Blade HQ they all look super plasticky and I wanted a two tone one kinda like yours.
I’ve looked at a lot of them and I just havnt found anything I liked I guess. They all either look like plastic or are sold out so my hunt must continue.

Wondering if you or anyone else ever came up with other suggestions? I have a Manix 2 that I acid etched and stonewashed that I fell in love with again and I'd like to get some natural micarta handles for it but every place I see says they're out of stock.

That is a great looking knife. Maybe the Spy guys will get a hint about future knife scales. What did it cost?

Shepard seems to have closed his books, but rc_bladeworks is open. Perfect, thanks.

very nice! Did you ever find anywhere to source natural micarta scales for the Manix?Thought I'd update this thread with what I got. Black burlap scales from RC Bladeworks. Overall, very happy with them and love how they match the blade I etched.
