A dream...in red

#1

Post by allhatnocattle »

So I stumbled upon a set of the red PM2 scales from the DLT exclusive and promptly snagged them. So now the question is two fold. Do I cobble together a more interesting EDC like scale swapping a Blurple S110V or Jade/DLC M4. Or are the scales themselves worth more than the $50 i gave for them?

What say you Forumites?

Ideas of potential edc combos are welcome!

I don't know why but red scales on DLC seems interesting to me. It would certainly be one of a kind.

I would probably do the scale swap and create a unique "FrankenSpydie" using the S110 or M4. Maybe even consider stonewashing the blade and hardware to give it a really unique look!

By the way, I like your username. :)

Thanks, My parents were from Houston,TX so its a phrase i heard often throughout my life. I am a sucker for a good stonewash blade. Wish spyderco would offer more of them. I usually find the satin blades a bit too shiny for my taste though they do wear nicely. I’m leaning toward dlc and might even go so far as to have the internals either cerakoted or maybe just some rattle can black rust oleum. (I know somebody probably just spit-out their coffee at that idea). Still tossing ideas around ya know.

Yeah, I want to do this as well. I have an extra set of red that I want to swap with my Jade on my M4 DLC!

I put an extra set of red scales on my 52100 blade and it has a purple Ti lanyard tube because I mangled the original trying to get it off. Looks pretty sweet! But like I said, I'd try to put a DLC blade in it. THAT would look amazing!

Not sure why the only colors they make regularly are blurple or black. Disappointing imho

If it was me I would put my favorite blade in those scales- whether that is satin or DLC.

Recently I bought jade scales for $40 and merged them with S30V. I would probably jump on the red for $50 but not much more.
