So I finally have a steady source of income and I was looking to get a titanium backspacer and deep carry clip. But my question is mostly regarding the scales. Should I go with glossy carbon fiber or grooved micarta ? I don't abuse this knife, it's used for light EDC, so breaking or cracking won't be an issue. I might also customize my pm2 instead though
 
I have pimped/had a good amount of manixs and TBH CF gloss doesn't really look so great on it(IMO)
Depending on your choice of micarta it could look really great or just cheap
I think you should look into G10 or micarta
Look in the custom shop area and check out some of the awesome makers
You'll see a good variety of stuff and I'm sure one of them will have something you'll dig

Also if your going with a non Titanium scale choice than I recommend you get a g10 backspacer instead
I'd first choose the scales then think about the backspacer
and for the deep carry clip..casey Lynch Titanium clips are the best( I have a bunch)
Hard to find sometimes when they are out of stock but if you see one pick it up
Let us know what you get:)

I'm not super familiar with these forums, would I find scales on "for sale: gadgets and gear"?

Thanks for the information though!
