Man almost everyone I've seen has one scale half dark half light looking I wonder what the deal is
Could that be where the liner is and isn't? I don't notice anything odd about my scales.

This Red is semi-translucent just like the Jade and Blurple G10. The light get blocked by the nested liners and makes those parts appear darker. The G10 itself is uniform in color throughout.

I thought so too but it's skeletonized so should have hole look like my jade manix

Look at this pic it's lighter between the two scale screws, check any pics on here

That's the liner, the spot where the compression lock is.

Then why is it like that when it's closed and the liner is against the scale? And no light spots where other cutouts are?

I'm telling myself "you already have a BBS M390 PM2, you don't need the red one," and it seems to be working lol.
I got one of the first releases of the DLT red. Then the other day I bought another. Right after I realized I wanted a smurf BBS too. So I ordered. Luckily I had sold a few so I had some resources to take some of the bite out. I got the BBS to be my user along with my other user, the smooth CruWear KC PM2.
That's how it's going for me.

It's because there's a cutout in the g10 behind the compression lock. If you open any PM2/Para 3 and look inside you'll see what I'm talking about. It has less material so this area is more translucent, even when closed.

OK that makes more sense then, I'm also disappointed I feel my blade is warped so I'm just going to exchange it for another one

When is someone going to release another 20CV PM2 but in a hot color like the blue or red, like the Manix version and it was way cheaper because 20CV is made in USA, I assume is the reason

I found a good screenshot on YouTube that helps picture it. I checked my St Nicks Para 3 and it looks the same.

Mine just arrived, and the scales are translucent as the other posters indicate. Great knife, and fortunate I was able to grab one when they became available.

Open the blade and hold the red G10 up to the sunlight. It is very translucent.

The S110V blurple knives do the same thing

It’s been interesting watching the flippers of this knife model on eBay.

The last one to sell on eBay in open bidding just went for $173 - that’s $13 over the original sale price, which is great for the person who missed the sale.

To think, after fees that seller made about $156 - a loss from the purchase price!
