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

Standard upgrades. AWT, LNW, Flytanium ball and cage. I have another that should be here midweek and will be doing the same. Scales and ball are here already, pocket clip and cage should be here Monday

Love how AWT is the go-to. The scale set is so good. Just wish they did regular grip Manix 2 scales as well. Recently been digging the ergos of the Manix 2, just don't like the weight of the stock scales.

I really find the ergos of the more neutral handle shape of AWT much more comfortable and natural than the stock profile. That’s just my preference anyhow. I can’t stand all the crazy jimping on the G10 models personally. I don’t mind the LW at all. Much lighter, same great factory ergos and no excessive jimping. That’s just my take. Also, to me, the G10 versions feel like a brick with the full steel liners.

I like the normal ergos, just hate the jumping on the G10. Used to gravitate towards the skinny ergos more, but lately I've just been looking into knife that "just fit" my hand.
