Can't wait for Spyderco's upcoming Ti PM2 too, a prototype of it sold in eBay a few months back. It was boootiful....

Hi RadioactiveSpyder,

Who makes that beautiful pry bar with a pocket clip?

Like he said in the post, Casey Lynch. Even says Lynch on that logo on the ti pry bar.

Sorry, I thought Casey Lynch made the Para2 scales and didn't realize that he made the pry bar as well. I'm not familiar with Casey Lynch's work and I did not recognize the logo.

Gotcha, yeah no biggie. So while we're on another note aside from Chubby, I hear he's got some Delica scales in the works as well. Excited to see those!

Here is my PM2 with Casey's Aluminum Scales, I believe I was actually the first person to score some scales from him. We live in the same town and its always a pleasure to meet up to get clips. The titanium scales were not ready yet so I grabbed the alum and they are so light and look really great.

And the pry bar NEVER leaves the pocket. It is the one thing other than phone, wallet , keys that I have on my every day. It is my only true dec item.

The knives change out but the pry bar never does.

Any particular reason you don't use all 3 screws on his deep clip?

Yup, because the factory screws aren't always the strongest and I broke the head off the screw, most of the screw is down in the hole haha.

On my other 10 or so spades that have Lynch clips all 3 holes are used....

Yup, wasn't worth it at all, the 2 screws have worked great, thats funny you caught it, I was bummed when it first happened but you bringing it up made me realize I haven't thought about it once since then...

Thanks guys for answering the question about Casey and his scales! That's a sweet setup swigert, I really like the coloration of your scales. My only complaint is the Ti scale mod adds some extra weight to the package and I'd like to EDC a lighter set, maybe he has an Al set left! Your dark scales would look kick-a$$ with a black blade!

Weren't we talking about the Chubby here? Sorry to derail the thread folks ;)! Cheers, Radioactive :)

The alum scales really lighten the whole package up. Send him an email, it's worth a shot.

Yup back to the chubby, I need more in the wild pics to persuade me on this one. Especially comparison pics to the techno, chaparral, and delica
