    Very comprehensive video, you really simplified the ball cage replacement.
    I’ve seen to many people struggle to perform this somewhat easy task.
    This video should help many, and Flytanium should provide a link to this particular video.
    They’d sell ball cages to the fence sitters afraid to take their Manix 2 apart.
    Well done

    The hardest parts are getting the screws started without cross threading and sitting flush (and manipulating the spring and cage, took me a few tries). Even with the blade screws what I'd consider fairly tight, the blade just drops easy and the titanium cage does give much better traction over the plastic.
    Also put on some carbon fiber scales...man looks great and although the G10 is nice and grippy, it was a pain getting out of my pocket. Noticeably lighter and the whole black on black on black look ("The Regular Guy Look") is awesome.
    Think a lanyard and maybe a back spacer are next.

    Thanks for the video! Just installed my upgrade kit with dark green ball cage (which I of course bought from you). Went very smoothly! 👍
    Only odd thing is that there seems to be a little lock stick...not sure if that's because of the new ceramic ball? But the new ball lock is A LOT better overall, and I assume the lock stick will break in and go away 😊

  • @billhughes9648
    @billhughes9648 3 года назад

    I hope they are paying you something for this. I bought both gold and blue titanium for both the Manix 2 and Manix 2 XL from Flytanium as a direct result and will probably buy more mods from this seller... "because" of your tutorial. The XL was a little different than the regular but both went in without a hitch. Another reason to mod your knives is that it will force you to get familiar with your equipment and force you to do needed maintenance as my EDC (the regular Manix 2) was filthy! Thanks again for the excellent tutorial.

  • @Torqd_Off

    I’m curious, do these aftermarket cages have a more aggressive grip than the OEM??? That’d be the only reason I’d want to change it!!! I’m also considering getting a little less strong spring, are they available???

  • @threeberryswi
    @threeberryswi 3 года назад

    I am new to the knife world. One of first knife I bought was a Manix 2. I see people flipping opening and closing this knife. What do people do to their knife to do this? With my knife this lock is very hard to un-engage. Right now You all most have to hold the blade and with the thumb and first finger un-engage the lock. Is there a break in period for this knife?

  • @randomactsofriding4850
    @randomactsofriding4850 4 месяца назад

    So is this just for looks/ergonomics? I am not a spyderco guy but considering the manix2. If it’s such a necessary upgrade thought that may dissuade me from the knife. For such an expensive knife I would expect it to be good to go. I’ve never had to modify any other kershaws, bokers, etc so help me out please.

    Hey nice vid! I’m about to get the flytanium cage for my dlc m390 Manix 2. I’ve read on forums about replacing the steel ball with a ceramic ball, I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference or not..

    • @OCD4EDC

    Does the plastic cage squeeze together thus making the effective width less than the metal.

    Hey Brother...does this upgrade work in the lightweight version of manix 2?
    Thanks..update..never mind found my answer..its riveted together..screw conversion can be done..maybe an option but probably just buy the g10 version like yours..

    • @OCD4EDC
      @OCD4EDC  4 года назад

      Yes this will fit in the Manix2 Lwt, but you will have to drill out the rivet's and replace them with Chicago screws/sex bolts. I have seen hardware kits for sale online. It would be a lot easier to buy the G-10 version, but it's up to you! Great question.

      Two days later...
      I disassembled the knife and polished the surfaces on the ball cage, liner, and ball cage guide (for lack of a better term). Anything metal on metal got polished. I used a dremel, polishing tip, and flitz. Reassembled and now it’s smooth like butter. I can disengage the lock with just my thumb or just my index finger and no drag or grit! Excellent upgrade!!

    I'm trying to install the ti cage and after I get the liner on it starts to get a little gritty. Once the g10 is on, it's almost impossible to operate. It's like it's biting into the g10 almost as if it's too big or rough against it. Should I try sanding the g10 or cage?

    • @OCD4EDC
      @OCD4EDC  2 года назад

      Are you sure it's in the correct direction? I have seen a few of the Flytanium cages that were a little tight. If that's the case you can sand the area down a bit to make room. It's generally a very small amount of sanding. I hope you get it taken care of! Thanks for watching!

    Plastic cage and this small spring 😂 ??? Way inferior compared to the PM2. The spring can break or wear out and the plastic ball cage WILL fall apart someday because plastic falls apart by themselves after a few decades - under load probably earlier. Not a knife to pass down to your grandchildren.
    The PM2 Crucarta on the other hand, have full steel liners, if the handles fall apart in 30 years, you just make new ones by your own.....
