Spyderco Manix 2 Mod MAYhem - I spent nearly $300 on this build

[@Commander_Cody7]

You definitely should have won. Exquisite taste

[@brentmellinger1798]

Where have you seen the tests of the plastic cage failing? I would like to see the settings, all the tests to failure I’ve seen the fastener that holds the steel bar above the bearing fails letting the knife close slightly and rendering it mostly inoperative. The tests I seen where cold steels and blade hq but I’d love to see the ones where the cage fails. I’ve thought about upgrading mine but mostly for a better tactile feel never considered the strength aspect.

The best manix 2 I've seen, hands down! I love metonboss ti frag. And the clip just takes it that extra step. Beautiful!

[@CheekyMenace]

I'm not really a fan of Spyderco knives, but I dig your build. Definitely the right choice of pocket clip. Nice work. 👍

[@krazy_roach1698]

Beautiful build... definitely something I vibe with. You did great bro!

[@jefferys9593]

I missed the competition. Your manix looks so good!

[@Mysmi]

That’s a 10/10 knife if I’ve ever seen one. What a masterpiece you created!

[@toreycasey1214]

Like it a lot Bro especially the scales have modded all of my Spydies so completely get it. Cage definitely needs replacing thing Brass with Brass hardware would look amazing with those scales but not with that clip, like the clip just not with brass so probably blue or black. Thought all of you had some nice builds

[@OreoDave]

Yeah Meton Boss!! 🙌

[@Jason-mb7gk]

Blue ballcage would look sick with those scales!

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

It turned out sick af!

[@malcolmholt2010]

I would add the ti cage with the blue glow rhino. I think that would really set off nicely

[@Hungrybird474]

I like the design so much I have three of these pups . One with titanium , one with applied weapons tech liner delete sis the best imho . And a stock white Rex 45 is staying because I like it . Still , the awt one is lighter and all around a worthwhile build to do for the Manix2 . Also l the awt scales for the native 5 are worthwhile as well . Totally awesome , maxamet lives up to its name . I haven’t had a single chip issue and don’t believe it’s a thing imho . Sharpened it twice . The Rex 45 still isn’t holding the edge it should after 4 sharpenings . M4 is way better or I just got a crap m2 rex45. Para3 , native 5 and m2 are great edc knives .

[@bigjim55able]

All 3 are great. Jason would have fared way better if he'd chosen another color. Your pocket clip is great despite those T6 screws.

[@wills.8662]

There are titanium cages for the Manix 2 with various sorts of tritium inserts. blue, or white maybe green glows.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

I liked doody’s build for sure. But imo, this should have won. Both used metonboss parts and I love the company. These were the nicer scales and using their clip as well just flows well. The thought being the rockscale hardware was a smart move and they look great too.

[@Rollshambo]

Thanks brotha, honestly I wouldn't have done anything differently with the exception of the ball cage, which wasn't so much of an oversight as it was just an issue of funds being available. I appreciate the support🍻

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

@@Rollshambo figured the cage was next as soon as I saw it and you did touch on that in your vid. Definitely a beauty of a build and solid enough still to beat the crap out of lol. The manix 2 is one I’ve honestly never picked up just because I’m so set on frame/liner/bolster locks and a classic detent feel. I’d past history has taught me anything, it’s that detent and action really dictate how long I keep something. I avoid bar locks and most button locks for this reason. I want a mordax/Malibu so badly but I’m scared it’ll be a fast catch and release

[@08mustang651]

It is beautiful now but i gotta go with knifedope! That wild banana and magnacut got me actually liking a spyderco. 💪🗡

[@Rollshambo]

His mod was truly unique! In all honesty I'm not a fan of yellow on knives but the best part of knife modding is making it something that speaks to you🍻

[@08mustang651]

Still watching and that live stream killed y'alls color on the builds. So much better looking in this video. 💪🗡

[@SlashGears]

Aren't the Manix 2 clip screw T8? Tried my manix 2 XL clip screws which are T8s fit that same exact metonboss clip of mine.

[@Rollshambo]

The t8 screws did not fit with this clip. Then again this is a regular manix which is 3 years old

[@Elmax17.5dps]

What my brother 🎉🎉

[@Kris_Stiletto]

Yes, Modding can get real expensive real fast... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@Elmax17.5dps]

Matte grey titanium ball cage

[@Chuck_81]

I like this one the best

[@Rollshambo]

Me too!🍻

[@TheDemocultis]

Just wish the plug matched a little better. Aside from that I feel you should have won.

[@BluetoothBlades]

I chose your build Rollo !

[@Rollshambo]

Thanks for supporting! I didn't win this time but we are already gearing up for another showdown🔥🔥🔥🍻

[@BluetoothBlades]

[@Robs_Nerdy_Knives]

[@YNTGUNS]

[@stephencorley8602]
