Those scales look awesome! Wouldn’t mind seeing a Lil Native with that same marbled CF.

Yes its yet another PM2, no points for creativity. I think part of the issue is, their Manix sold slow. I can understand why they'd go with a safer bet. Although the Manix thing had more to to with blade grind than the steel or model choice.
Anyways, despite all that, the pictures do not do the scales justice. The Marbled CF Manix is easy in my top 3 best Scales from the spyderco factory. The way the colors shift with the light is beautiful.

I'm a huge manix fan, and the thing that turned me off to their exclusive wasn't that the grind. It was the fact that they (Fradon Lock), themselves, listed it on eBay within days of the drop for a lower price.

Nice ... my only PM2 is the BladeOps Elmax. Think I prefer carbon fiber scales over those aggressive G10 scales normally found on PM2's. But, is it really worth the trouble of selling the one I have to purchase this one? Certainly not interested in two PM2's and if I had another Elmax folder that I liked, I'd likely be done with all the PM2's.
P.S. - I'd like to see a Chaparral in this material!

I would get a Millie in MagnaCut and Marbled Carbon Fiber scales if anyone sell it

It will be really nice when some new designs emerge. It's getting a bit stagnant around here. Exclusives are great, but I'm ready for some new stuff.

Would be awesome if it was linerless like the aluminum version

I'm just happy I never decided to try and collect all the PM2s

Very nice scales. Spyderco always uses good quality cf, micarta, etc. I think given the price that it'll be stock for weeks at least.

Man! I love those scales. I'm not a PM2 fan though. At the risk of sounding like a broken record...if only this were a Millie...

Hypothetical question: If this came out in Military Elmax Marbled CF would you pay $275 for it? That’s $230 + $45 (price difference between a regular Military & ParaMilitary2).

And here I am waiting for the S90V fluted CF Native 5 to restock at the staggering updated price of $277

Fair question. Probably not for Elmax, but if would come in CPM 4V like their Manix I would.

This right here. Big fan of the chaparral and marbled carbon fiber scales would look great on it.

I think part of the reason Fradon went with Elmax instead of 4V was to keep the costs down. A Military with 4V and Marbled CF would probably be around $300 not $275.
