STOCKY GOAT - Drift - Stoned & Ceramic Coated / Skiff Bearing Linerless Aluminum Scales (Compatible with Spyderco Manix 2) - Original GOAT

Ergonomic Curved Grip for Maximum Control

The SKNY GOAT Manix 2 scales feature a precisely curved surface that fits naturally into your hand, improving comfort during extended use and enhancing grip security. Unlike flat or blocky scales, the subtle contour reduces hotspots, provides better leverage for hard cuts, and keeps your EDC feeling solid yet balanced.

Finish Options for your Aluminum GOATs

🔹 Bright Stonewash (formerly “STONED”)

A clean, bright stonewashed finish that highlights aluminum’s natural shine. Our Bright Stonewash goes through a full tumbling process to remove every burr and rough edge, leaving you with a smooth, durable surface that still looks raw and vibrant. It’s the closest you’ll get to that fresh-cut aluminum look—refined but radiant.

🔹 Shadow Stonewash (darker stonewash)

Prefer a stealthier vibe? The Shadow Stonewash finish delivers a darker, titanium-inspired tone while still being unmistakably aluminum. Using a special finishing process, this option creates a rugged surface that hides wear beautifully while adding a subdued, tactical edge to your carry. It’s the finish for those who want low-key durability with high-end style.

🔹 In the Buff (blasted + hand-buffed)

Stand out with texture. Our In the Buff finish combines a precision sandblast with hand-buffed highlights, creating a matte base that makes the texture edges gleam. The result is a bold mix of grip and shine—tactile where you want it, smooth where you don’t. It’s rugged, refined, and unmistakably Original GOAT.

SKNY vs STOCKY GOAT, WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE?

The STOCKY GOAT profile preserves the familiar stock Manix 2 feel while improving grip and carry comfort. Perfect for users who want classic ergonomics with the performance upgrades of aluminum scales, titanium hardware, and ceramic bearings.

Prefer that stock feel and look, then try the STOCKY GOAT.
