Thank you very much!! After some "Research" i think its an error to. Im new to the Spyderco world and thaught "SprintRun" would be another Special model ...didnt know that they are very much SprintRun versions and that they are Same build like the standard version ^^Buddafucco wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 7:13 amVincenzo555 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 5:10 pmAre they still available?

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

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.Vincenzo555 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 12:34 pmThank you for the Tip. Your blue one Looks great!!.
