Hogue Deka Magnacut with RC Bladeworks blue canvas micarta scales
I’m the original owner of this Hogue Deka Magnacut. I bought it a few months ago and liked the knife, but not so much the plastic scales, so I ordered some blue canvas micarta scales from RC Bladeworks. After a LONG wait, I finally got the scales in last week and installed them.
However, it was a total pain in the butt, as the fixed (notched) side of the pivot was wedged tight into one side of the Axis lock (or whatever Hogue’s name is for it) steel framework. It was even harder to reinstall the new scales, and I couldn’t get the axis lock frame seated right. After a little careful Dremel work on the side of the Axis frame that was stuck previously, the pivot seated well within the frame. I also had to sand down the non-blade facing side of the phosphor bronze washer, as a burr was sticking out and causing it not to sit flush. Anyway, everything is all together now, looks good, and is tuned up pretty well. However, now that all is said and done, I’m finding that this knife just isn’t going to replace my Bugout, which has a very similar size, weight, and of course, locking mechanism.
Condition overall is very good, with only exceptions being some scratches on the fixed side of the pivot from trying to pry it out originally, and the minor internal Dremel work that I mentioned previously. I haven’t carried it or cut anything with it.
I’m asking $150 (PayPal F&F) - $155 (PayPal G&S) - for this Hogue Deka Magnacut with RC Bladework micarta scales. The original plastic scales are also included. Shipping from St. Louis by USPS Priority Mail.
“Shipwreck” Copper Scales for Manix 2
These are really stunning, in my opinion…..but they add a little bit too much weight to the Manix 2 for me. So, I ended up replacing them with some blue Teratuf scales, which aren’t even in same aesthetic ballpark, but better suited for my user Manix. I realize that the regulars on BladeForums probably know this, but just to be sure….these scales aren’t compatible with LW versions of the Manix….replacement for G10 scales only. Clip position is for right hand carry, tip up.
Condition of the scales is excellent. I don’t see any signs of wear, except for a few shallow scratches on the back (not visible when installed, of course) on one side, from my disassembly. When these were installed on my Manix, the action was perfect and blade was dead centered. In fact, I couldn’t get the same perfect centering and action combo with my replacement Teratuf scales, but whatever…

SOLDNorth Arm Skaha II SOLD
I just bought this Skaha II with OD green G10 scales on Bladeforums last week from the original owner. I’ve been on the Skaha waiting list for a LONG time, and figured I’d snag this one, since these don’t come around very often at a pretty decent price. Afterwards, I checked my status on Skaha waiting list and was surprised to find out that I’m up to bat in January. So, I’m going to sell this one, wait just a little longer, and hopefully try to snag one with carbon fiber scales when it’s time to order from North Arms.
Condition is absolutely like new, original owner claims he never carried, used, or sharpened this knife, and it certainly checks out. I've had it all of three days and also haven't carried, used, or sharpened.....just flipped open & closed to check out that very special Skaha action. In addition to world-class open/close action, the lock up is rock solid, and the blade is perfectly centered.
I’m asking SOLD $235 (PayPal F&F) - $242 (PayPal G&S) - for this Skaha II, same as I paid. Shipping from St. Louis by USPS Priority Mail.
