Who makes metal scales for 4.5" Crucarta Para 2?

#1

Post by alcarazesco »

I recently purchased a crucarta version of the para 2 and upon my excitement of doing so I did not realize I got the 4 1/2" blade version. I ordered some new scales from AWT for the crucarta version specifically. The AWT scales are for the "normal" sized para 2 and not the big boy 4 1/2" that I bought. Does anybody know of anyone that makes metal scales (aluminum, titanium etc.) for the large crucarta 4 1/2" para 2? Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. I've recently become a spyderco guy and now have this cruwear crucarta para 2 and the blade HQ LW manix 2 with all the upgrades and AWT scales.

Hi Alcarazesco,

Welcome to our forum.

I don't think we make a Para 2 with a 4.5" blade?

Welcome to the forum!

Like Sal I wonder which model you could actually be referring to? Even the Military 2, in many ways a "big" PM2, features a "just" 4" long blade... ?
(Though I could imagine at least one guy here would not exactly be opposed to a 4.5" "PM 2"... :smirk )
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

Are the clone makers cranking out all the wild variations people rattle off in the forum now? I’m sure someone has asked for a 4.5” PM2 by now.

A 4.5" anything but a linerlock would certainly have my focus zoomed in on it... I would have one of them just for a smoke test to start with lol. Let me add that long as it's no clone.

Para 3 - 3”(+ or -)
PM 2 - 3.4”(+ or-)
Military/Military 2 - 4”

Para 2 - 4.5” does not exist

Wonder what it said on the box it came in? I don’t know of any Spyderco 4.5” folder in current production. I believe the Stretch 2 XL, Civilian and the Native Chief are the only other 4” (+ or -).

Any chance we can see some photos of the knife?
Thanks.
