Picked Up a Ti Para 2 tonight

[Flatlander1963]

off the sale sub-forum. Sellers Pictures. Thought I'd share. Someone did a very nice job on the titanium handles and pocket clip.

Very nice specimen.

The scales and clip were done by Originalspaceman, or Casey Lynch. Great guy to deal with!

Spyderco hasn't done a Ti PM2 yet have they?

 

[Evany]

Beautiful knife! Would you mind posting the weight? I was wondering if the Ti scales increase or decrease the weight of the Para 2.

I have the aluminum version of the scales - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1251526-Titanium-(and-hard-ano-aluminum)-PM2-scales

Extremely well-made, as I have found all Casey's work. About the same wt as the OEM G10. He told me the Ti ones weigh a little more.
Recommended (although I actually really like spyderco G10 scales).

Nope. Would probably use an integrated compression lock like Salsa and ATR, if they ever did.

I read somewhere that the Ti Para2 is around 140g. I have one, and find it weighs a little more than the Cruwear Manix, about the same as a M4 G10/Ti Military, and a little less than a Gayle Bradley

A year or more ago there was mention of making a Ti PM2, and that it would be very expensive. There hasn't been any official mention of it since. I like G10 better than Ti so it didn't interest me.

Nice knife.

 

[grownstar]

Great looking knife. The Spaceman does really good work.

As soon as I get it I'll weight it and let you all know.

Congrats! I'm super jealous- much as I enjoy my Aluminum scales from Casey, his polished Ti scales with anno'd inlays have always appealed to me.

 

[skwurll]

I picked up the Aluminum as well, but wanted Titanium as it wears in so much better with time. May try to get another set when he makes more. They are top notch for sure!

Casey mentioned possibly doing another run with plain Ti - no design.

Congrats on the pick up Flatlander!

The knife came today. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This scale upgrade is simply fantastic!
Fit and Finish is as good as a Sebenza. I don't think I can explain how nice it is in your hand. This knife is certainly a Holy Grail knife!!!
I love the deep carry clip. Knife disappears in your pocket.

Seller sent the box for the scales and they were done by Casey Lynch. Mr. Lynch is a true talent!

Does anyone know what the cost on these scales and clip would have been?
I paid $216 to my door for the knife as pictured which feels like a heck of a deal.

Weight: 104.67 grams or 4.96 oz

Congrats, I've been admiring that knife for some time when the seller had posted it on the EDC thread. A good purchase on a very nice knife!

I bought my scale/clip combo for just shy of $100 from Casey. I don't know if he has any sets left, so they may be harder to come by until he gets a new run finished.

I'm beginning to feel like I let my Ti PM2 go for too cheap now.
