    Looks like an awesome upgrade to the Manix 2. The finished weight is only 4.5oz. The stock version is listed at 4.2oz.
    Most aftermarket scales are much heavier.. Thanks for the video.

      It does feel incredibly lite, and I figured this would be good. I did see some videos with Ti scales on the liners 5.5 or more oz. 👍

    Pretty awesome driver for knives. I put copper scales on my manix 2 that still has liners, it is as heavy as some of my fixed blade knives in D2 that are between 5 and 9 inches long. I really like this idea with no liners, might have to look into new scales for it.

      They are really nice and I keep wanting to carry up there with the McNees, Whippersnapper, Chavez, and Relative. LOL.

    Rob, I've found that sometimes if the washers get swapped to the other sides by accident it will cause the blade to be a smidgen off...as they usually are not perfectly equal sizes...sometimes 😉

      That is one of my tricks to fix an off centered knife. You can also disassemble & reassemble a knife as how it fits back together can be off at 1 or 2 contact points. If a scale is flexed a tiny bit, it can also impact how it fits together.

    I use Hoppe's Gun Oil for the action on my knives. That way I don't have to buy trendy lube for a knife, I can use a oil already on hand. It works great, and is a lot cheaper.

    • @Robs_Nerdy_Knives
      @Robs_Nerdy_Knives  4 місяці тому

      There you go. You have an oil your happy with. Believe me, Nano-Oil is not trendy but likely a bit nerdy. Ha-ha. They’ve been around a while.

  • @ToRo909r
    @ToRo909r 10 місяців тому +3

    Just curious, what was the point of taking the old scales apart? Couldn’t you have just left them alone since you didn’t need the liners or anything else? I’m thinking of getting the AWT which is similar.

    • @Robs_Nerdy_Knives
      @Robs_Nerdy_Knives  10 місяців тому

      That is exactly how I packed them up in my box. 🤔😂👍

    Loosen the two back screws and the action will be great. At least it should.

    • @Robs_Nerdy_Knives
      @Robs_Nerdy_Knives  7 місяців тому

      The action is insane and I have it in a good place. It’s a favorite carry for sure.

    KPL AND NANO oil are a waste of money. All you need it something slick and the slickest oil that sticks to metal is Sons of Liberty gun works Spec76 lube. Super thin and is amazing on knives.

    • @Robs_Nerdy_Knives
      @Robs_Nerdy_Knives  4 місяці тому +1

      If you are happy with it, then you know what you will use. I have used Nano-Oil for years on my knives and in certain things. Ive compared to various things, and I come back to Nono-Oil as my favorite.

      Hey, thank you. It is who I am and what I do as a nerd who loves knives. It may not be for everyone, which is fine. There are a lot of good channels out there that you may prefer more. Thank you for watching, though. 👍✌️😉🤓
