I ordered the Titanium Purple Anodized. I'll post up a pick when it comes in, but it'll be a while before I can install it.

I initially tried to use Amazon Pay but received this message after logging in, "Amazon Pay not available for this site."

RC Bladeworks is offering them under the 2-scale made-to-order section of his website.
Are they still available? I can Just find scales for the Full Liner Sprint Run Version.

I believe "Full Liner Sprint Run Version" is an error. Those should be the scales that fit the factory Cruwear & Micarta PM2's.

I have three CruCartas. One was bought 2nd-hand and was not centered. I bought a Hoback backspacer for it, which helped considerably. A 2nd new one was also centered poorly. The 3rd was perfect. So...given how mismatched in color the scales on the first one were, I took them off, boiled and dyed them. I put it back together without the backspacer and was able to get the blade centered. I suspect that boiling them helped restore their shape, but that's just speculation.

I decided to try the backspacer in the 2nd one, as it matched the new deep-carry clip, but sanded it first so that its look would match the rest of the hardware a little better. I'm very happy with the results (blue is my favorite color), but it was **** to get the thing apart and back together so the backspacer has not yet been added to the knife. Here's the knife and the sanded/polished backspacer:

Thanks. Good luck with this project. If you have not disassembled a PM2 before, please watch a video.

Hey! AWT is making aluminum scales for the Crucarta PM2.

I finally installed the Hoback backspacer in mine. Fits. Looks nice. Provides additional support around the lock area. I like it. Didn't come purple anodized, though.

I know Jake and I imagine if you contact him he’ll make one for you… I’m actually about to ask him for the same thing for one of mine.
