They look good, just have not yet made up my mind.
So I'm looking for some input.

If you are into that type of handle material, its beautiful. But I use my pm2 daily, so I would rather look into Micarta or G10 handles. Anyway, where did you find such custom handles for your pm2? Was it through online sources or from a member of this site?
 
I've got 2 of 'em and carry them both. The brown G10 on the S35 is fine for me. But I don't like that green on the Elmax. I wanted to put wood on it, but with the modern looks of the PM2, I didn't want plain grain wood. Didn't want any hybrid types either. Been looking for quite a while and came across these from a guy in Canada. He does really nice work, I'm just having second thoughts and was looking for some thoughts from some other PM2 owners.
 
I think those scales are very nice. The countersinking for the pivot screws seem oversize, don't know why. Still, beautiful scales.

Of my Para 2s, this one with the Cuscadi wood is carried and used but with care, it's more of a going out or casual wear knife. Real nice though.
My standard S30V is the work knife or to be used for whatever needs doing.
The Elmax' duty is somewhere in between the 2.
I have CF scales on the way from RGT to put on the S110V, 'cos I don't like the blurple so much, the intent is for it to be a user.

There are some great custom scale makers here on BF, I can recomend sketchenscales (he did this Millie for me). He has made beautiful wood scales for the Para2. Check out post #571 of this thread:

Then look through the whole thread, may give you some ideas.

Whatever you do get, hope you come back here with some pics for us.
 
The countersinks are one of the things that give me hesitation. The colors and patterns are what I really like about them.
