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!)

Needed this to make my Manix 2 LW blade work with RSD titanium scales.
Well pleased with how it turned out.
#1 Manix 2 Light Weight Mod.
The backspacer fit perfect. Shipment was super fast.
Got a little stuck on the installation, seller guided me through the process and was super helpful. Really appreciate the help. Thank you again.
The backspacer works as advertised - it allowed me to use a lightweight Manix 2 blade (Manix 2 ltwt Salt magnacut) with a Ti scale set (Rockscale Design). The outcome is a smooth and perfect knife! Only wish would be finish choices for the backspacer.
No issues whatsoever. Worked great with Rockscale design scales. Will order again!
