Spyderco Manix 2 LW

[jaboz]

I HAVE A MANIX 2 LW AND HATE THE FRN SCALES. IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE THE BLADE AND PIVOT FROM THE LW AND ORDER G10 SCALES AND THE HARDWARE TO GO WITH IT? I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT SPYDERCO WITH NO RESULTS YET AND HAVE TALKED TO SPYDERCO DEALERS BUT NONE OF THEM KNOW, SO I REACHED OUT TO THIS FORUM. THANK YOU FOR ANY FEEDBACK

No need to yell.

If your knife is a current factory screw build.
You can disassemble it and swap the blade to a donor G10 version.

Or you can buy a set of AWT Linerless
LW Manix scales

If you have the older rivet version.
you will end up destroying the FRN to remove the blade you have to source
a donor G10 Manix or buy a backspacer from Etsy.

If you have a bd1n blade you may be better off just selling it and getting a g10 s30v manix.

Yeah I would only worry about swapping blades to g10 for a 15v or maxamet blade

Thank you for your reply. Do you know if the pivot or some people call pivot barrel will fit from the LW scales to the G10 scales? Once again thank you
