Crusty/Crunchy/Sticky Manix 2 Action?

Did my best to show in the video, but it’s hard to see/hear it. My Manix 2 has drop shut action when engaging the ball lock, but when I don’t have it engaged, the blade feels crusty(?) against the ball bearing when I swivel it between open and closed. Is this something that could be caused by the stock ball bearing? Or any insight as to what’s going on and how to fix it would be much appreciated!

Best metal tip markers?

Looking for a thicker metal tip marker, like a Krink K-66, but not for Krink K-66 price. I don’t want a correction pen, that’s too small for my liking, but something a bit bolder.
Ideally with more than one color option.
The Molotow Dripstick Rollerball seems nice, but also a bit too big for what I want, I’ve seen the Markal Ball Paint Marker, but never used it.

Let’s hear some good options!

I’ve seen AWT makes Para 2 LW scales, but only in skinny aluminum version, other than that I haven’t found any options for the lightweight PM2.

First question, are there other options?
Second question, are the blades on a LW and regular PM2 the same, meaning you could swap the LW blade into the liners and scales of a regular PM2 and have it work?
Third question, if the answer to question 2 is no, is there a conversion kit to make your LW Para 2 work in a regular PM2 body?

I recently got the Onkata exclusive Manix 2 for my birthday and had some BladeHQ rewards points so decided to get a new orange aluminum ball cage for it, which adds a nice little pop of color.

Snipped about 1-1.5 loops off of the spring and it’s solid now, not too much tension.

Only other thing I may do is get a new clip for it, but other than that I love this thing!
