These Applied Weapons Tech Exclusive Midnight Blue Type III Hard Coat Aluminum Scales are milled precisely for replacement of the factory scales of the popular Spyderco Manix 2 XL G10 Knife. Made in the USA. Includes SATIN hardware - 2 barrel spacer and 4 handle screws. If you would like black hardware, please let us know in the order comments at checkout. We will switch it out before shipping.
From Applied Weapons Tech: Based on the platform that brought success for our Manix scales, the new Spyderco Manix 2 XL Bananix is set to impress! Its slim design, achieved by removing the liners, significantly enhances comfort and handling. By extensively milling the interior and omitting liners, the knife's weight drops by 1.2 ounces, a notable 20% lighter than the original model, bringing its total weight down to just 3.99 ounces.
As with everything else at AWT, these scales are machined from 6061 aluminum to incredible standards and are backed by our Lifetime Warranty. If you break it, we replace it at no cost to you.
Type III Hardcoat Anodized Colors - Black, Sniper Grey, OD Green, Flat Dark Earth, Brick Red, Billiard Blue
Type II Anodized Colors - Cobalt Blue, Weathered Red
You buy Type III hard coat for toughness not perfect color matching. If you want colors to be exact, please purchase Cerakote. Due to the nature of Type III Hardcoat anodizing there may be slight color variations from batch to batch or side to side. Sometimes there may also be some light mottling in the color, or the grain of the aluminum may show through the coating. This is normal and in NO way affects the performance or function of the grips whatsoever. We feel that it is a worthy tradeoff for a vastly superior coating hardness. The Type III coating we use is incredibly hard (harder than steel actually) and is the MOST durable coating available on the market.
Please Note: Spyderco's Warranty does not cover disassembly of any knife by any person other than Spyderco's Warranty department.
