From Flytanium comes the unique aluminum ball cage lock to replace your plastic one. The ball cage lock will fit both the Manix 2 and Manix 2 XL. It features an anodized coat in different variations. There are 6 different colors to chose from; Black, Blue, Red, Orange, Dark Green, and Sage Green. This is the perfect stylish, lightweight upgrade for your knife! Because each knife is slightly different, there is a break-in period following insulation. Spend some time opening and closing your knife, enjoying your new lock, and you'll be good to go! *Installation of the ball cage lock requires some basic tools and knowledge. You will need a high quality torx bit set to remove the screws and pivots. The pivot and lanyard tube can be tough to remove. There are some good informational videos on YouTube if you need more instructions, or email Flytanium. Disclaimer: There are many small parts and pieces on the Manix 2. It is NOT easy to take apart. Disassemble at your own risk. *Please Note: Spyderco's Warranty does not cover disassembly of any knife by any person other than Spyderco's Warranty department.
