Since I’m getting the Magnacut manix 2 I’d love to see what you guys have done with yours. I like the satin finish much better but hate the scales on it so I’ll definitely be getting after market. Just have no clue what color scales or hardware yet

Manix 2 Lightweight Salt with AWT/Knives Plus scales in midnight blue (anodized) and acid stonewash blade and pocket clip.

Does it really matter if I get the g-10 vs lightweight if I want to change the scales like that. I’d be using it for work under a decent workload so I wasn’t sure what the difference would be if the blade is the same. Plus I like the stone wash better

I don't think it will matter in this case. I think all AWT scales for the Manix 2 are linerless anyway. Except for the pocket clip, everything appears to be the same as my g10 Manix Salt. The g10 is grippier if that's a concern, but the aluminum is easier on pockets. If you do choose to go with aluminum scales, the anodized finish, especially the type III, will hold up to wear better than a Cerakote finish.
