Thanks. I’ll give that a shot. I just don’t want to ruin those black screws.Stop pin snugged too tight would be my guess (mine was too, but PERFECT now).

T8 on the Stop Pin, T10 on the Pivot (and T6 on the pocketclip).Thanks. I’ll give that a shot. I just don’t want to ruin those black screws.
Thank for the help. I got it working like a PM2 should now. Stop pin was actually loose, so I had to snug that up. It took about 1 1/2 full turns. That didn’t help, so I backed the pivot screw out to what seems like an imperceptible amount, it was barely moved. That did it. It’s perfect now. And no black screw coatings were harmed in the entire process. Thanks again for your help. I went from really disappointed with the knife to it now being one of my top three favorites.T8 on the Stop Pin, T10 on the Pivot (and T6 on the pocketclip).![]()
I usually don't, but this is an exception.I notice that BladeHQ at one time offered a PM2 copper with a satin finish Rex 45 blade.
Don't know if I really like coated blades.![]()
Truthfully I second guessed myself after pulling the trigger and had tentatively decided it would be a catch-n-release, but I think it is a keeper. I actually like the heft.I usually don't, but this is an exception.
That would mean liners too.Maybe I'm the odd guy out. I'm just not liking the weight + how smooth it is. It's definitely beautiful and will get better with age.
Thinking it maybe trading material. Or just get different scales. Should have got the 390 or 110 para 2 to work with. I like my knives like guns. Gritty grips
I don't mind heavy folders and carry them regularly! That being said, This knife feels odd compared to stock Paramilitary 2. After using a standard PM2 for so long , The heft of the handle with the light blade doesn't jive personally. Probably swap the DLC Rex 45 blade into another model and sell the scales , Or trade it on the exchange for something else.Maybe I'm the odd guy out.

I actually wish I had a Rivers Edge exclusive PM2 to blade trade - I'd like to see that blade paired with the copper.

It is starting...This is one of those Spydercos that, years down the line, I will kick myself for not ordering.
I imagine the patina will be very interesting as it get carried and used.
Just think if they hadn't done this lol.
Definitely not for everyone, but far from my weirdest one.
