Compensated Lock Backspacer for Spyderco Manix 2
Compensated Lock Backspacer for Spyderco Manix 2
Couldn't load pickup availability
Have you ever wanted to use your Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight blade in aftermarket or stock G10 scales? Yeah, me too.
I am not a fan of the plastic lightweight scales but wanted my favorite knife in a variety of steels. Until now, you'd have to buy another stock G10 Manix and be left with a pile of extra parts.
Machined from 303 stainless steel, this modified version of the lock backspacer compensates for the small differences between the lightweight and regular Manix 2 blades - ensuring proper lock functionality.
Disclaimer: This spacer will not work with standard Manix 2 blades. Only lightweight blades with G10 and aftermarket scales such as AWT and RSD scales.
If for any reason this does not work for you, contact me and I will replace it free of charge with one tested using my own scales.
Features:
- Compensated for small differences in the lightweight blade to ensure proper lockup and functionality in aftermarket and stock g10 Manix 2 scales.
- Finish quality on par with stock back spacer - more attention is paid to the exposed parts of the part. The sides will have residual machining marks but are covered once installed and do not impede with functionality.
- Satin or stonewashed finish (more to come!)

This product worked perfectly allowing me to add a DLC M4 LW Blade to Metonboss Frag Titanium Scales. Awesome product that fills a void in the aftermarket.
Grabbed this to put on a set of AWT linerless (non-LW) scales, because the ano color/diamond "knurling" grip machine pattern combination I got was unavailable in their Manix 2 LW scales.
Worked as perfectly as could be.
This product is just great! Solid lock up with my lw blade and AWT regular Manix scales.
Needed this to make my Manix 2 LW blade work with RSD titanium scales.
Well pleased with how it turned out.
