PM2 with fluted CF scales?

#1

Post by BrianMcCord »

Can anyone think of any reason this couldn't be done? Anyone interested in this idea?

Manix 2 as well... A nice hand filling grip! But I gotta be honest, too rich for my blood

Ti would be awesome! I haven't seen any aftermarket contoured scales, either, now that I think about it. It might even be nice with contoured G10, like the Shaman.

Yes, please.

Manix with fluted CF would be _amazing_.

Go to Amazon, and search for 'Paramilitary 2 3D'.

I'd take fluted over contoured in the case of PM2 to be honest.
I mean, contouring surely looks nice with most Taichung knives (in fact lots of them are contoured); the difference is most their screws are pan/oval head, unlike PM2's countersunk.

A contoured PM2 scale thus will inevitably cause incline around the otherwise plateau surface over and around the screw (not just aesthetic but also potential hot spots).
Like this:

Don't know about others, but looking from this angle at a contoured PM2 scale always always turns me off :(

Are we talking about the same thing? I don't have any fluted knives, but they look to be contoured, no?

Or are you talking about chamfered, where the edges are rounded off, but the scales themselves are flat.

I think he's referring to the screw holes... in order to use the factory screws, the holes need to be deep in the new scales, so they still engage the liners... I'm reading it as he thinks they look a lil unfinished this way, and may cause hot-spots...?
