PM2- Aramis CF, M390

I recently picked up Aramis CF Grand and G-10 3D Line PM2 scales, and I've been super impressed with them. They've actually made me start carrying the PM2 a bit, which I've never really gotten into before (despite several serious tries at it).

I wish he made Para3 scales. And Manix scales, while I'm dreaming.

I've tried a lot of aftermarket scales and his are definitely the ones that have made the most difference to my actual use and ergonomics.

delica and dragonfly are the only two I have really carried over the last few years

Yes, those scales really transformed and elevated my PM2s into something special. He does make Para3 scales! Contact him if he doesn't have any listed. Sadly no Manix scales.

The top 5 knives I actually carry, in order from most to least frequently are:

1) Victorinox Classic SAK (on my keys)
2) Manix 2 Lightweight S110V, waved by a friend
3) Green VG-10 FFG Delica 4, clip removed
4) Blue FRN Stretch in ZDP-189, cut down in blade height, hand convexed, and mirror polished
5) Smurf blue Para Military 2 in M390

All but #3 are blue scaled! I like blue.

[Bloke]

I carry one of four Military’s (S30V, S110V, 204P, REX45) usually DigiCam S30V or original Stretch ZDP-189.

When I fish saltwater I carry a Tasman Salt PE HB, freshwater ... Dragonfly SE HB.

When I visit grandkiddies, birthday parties etc. I ensure I have a little LadyBug SE HB close handy. If you’ve ever tried to cut toys free that are zip tied to cardboard backing you’ll know what I mean. :rolleyes:

[Volk]

Spyderco Chaparral FRN
Spyderco Sliverax
Lionsteel Dom
Victorinox Alox Bantam
Spyderco Techno

[5pins]

PM2 gets 90% of my carry time.
The Chokwe is carried when I "dress up".
If I need something smaller then it's time for the Native.

[cycleguy]

1) Delica 4
2) UKPK
3) ..... ????? (think it is going to be a CF Chaparral, but don't have one yet
4) ..... ????? (think it is going to be a CF Sage, but don't have one yet
5) Victorinox Classic (use the scissors to remove tightly knotted plastic ribbon from delicate branches of ficus benjamina and other plants)

Well I won’t count the little SAK on my keys and these days nothing seems to push my Smock out of top spot but I guess top 5 are.
1. Spyderco Smock
2. Smock SK23
3. Cruwear PM2
4. Cruwear Manix2
5. Custom scaled Delica
All my knives get used but these more often lately. Really the Smock has taken over, it’s perfect. The only way I can think to improve it would be a Cruwear sprint!
I should mention that I usually carry a traditional slipjoint as well. Get a lot less looks around here using a slippy rather than a modern knife.
