How to install the Flytanium 'Lotus' scales for the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Pocketknife

Today, we're going to put a set of Flytanium 'Lotus' pattern scales on a PM2, to excellent effect.

[@Tom-uj4uf]

This is crazy. I just finished watching Metal Complex's Top 50 knives of all time where he had the PM2 with these scales and I thought they were so nice. And now you post this! 😀 I'd never buy them and I don't even have PM2 but what a coincidence...

[@flytaniumofficial]

We think you should buy a PM2 and some Lotus scales. Here's your sign. lol

[@aviator_bryan]

@@flytaniumofficial I would. I really want some terra firma titaniums for my pm2.

[@flytaniumofficial]

@@aviator_bryan Haha same. We didn't manage to snag a set when we ran those either. 😅😅

[@btpowers]

Built one with the same scales on one of the purple PM2s 2 weeks ago. I threw in some flytanium screws, standoffs and lanyard tube. My new favorite knife.

[@robertbrewer9915]

Where are the screws? I didn't see them on Flytanium site. They show the Lotus installed w blue screws. That's the ones I want

[@Gunner1953]

Great video! Nice looking scales!

[@bamaninja929]

I luv Flytanium! I put some on my Bugout & now it looks & feels like a better knife to me thanks!!👍✌

[@flytaniumofficial]

We luv you!

[@mitchellg849]

Just put these on my pm2! They are great.

[@flytaniumofficial]

Great stuff! Thanks Nick!

[@floydpots]

Those lanyard tubes are no joke. I snapped a piece off of a micarta scale on my PM3 trying to get them off from around the lanyard hole.

[@clintonlewis1261]

Looks good 👍

[@patrickmccrea3455]

This was great i have those ugly purple scales on my S110V PM2 i definitely want a pair of these

[@republicedc8567]

The timing of this video is actually perfect! I have just received these scales and hope to install them on a PM2 soon. Do you know if these will fit the PM2 Maxamet? Also, did you notice that one scale is slightly thicker than the other at the tail end? Thanks for another excellent video 😊

[@mightyjosHi]

Maxamet has G10 Scales, just in a different color. Process should be the same as shown. PM2s with micarta scales might have full liners (instead of the "hidden" ones shown on this G10 model) which would cause problems with the scales.

[@republicedc8567]

@@mightyjosHi Cool. Thanks. Yes i know the Max has G10. But sometimes the internals and dimensions can me different between models so just wanted to be 100% sure before i ordered. I think the Max would look great with these scales due to the stonewash blade.

I just put these scales on my DLT purple scaled cruwear PM2. Not that I don’t like purple, just don’t like purple on that knife. I like these scales, plus they didn’t cost the price of another PM2.

[@krisoddy6983]

Same didn’t love the purple either. I got the micarta version of these scales.

[@j.hardesty446]

I'm going to get some of these for the tanto pm2. I have both the coated and uncoated version. Can't decide which one to do🤷🏻‍♂️. Maybe the black blade & I'll have the scales cerakoted 🤪$$😂

[@agitodclxvi]

thanks for the video, maybe i will get para 3 custom scale for next few month.... book mark this for reference

[@krisoddy6983]

I just got these in micarta for my new Cruwear pm2 (dlt exclusive)

[@robertbrewer9915]

On the Flytanium site, they show the Lotus installed with blue-colored Torx screws. Where can I get these screws, anyone know? Didn't see the screws on their site.

[@bwunger]

I'm waiting for a Lotus scale on the Para 3!

[@flytaniumofficial]

It's coming. #supplychainisachallenge

[@SinjiKazama]

@@flytaniumofficial I was literally about to message you about this on Reddit haha, what a coincidence. Lovely news.

[@ttattx]

is it possible to use standard aftermarket scales on teh PM2 "Crucarta" - instead of a nested liner it is full on that specimen, and curious if there are differences in scales... any help form any y'all would be appreciated

[@TheMoath]

Are these the stonewash or blasted scales?

[@joshdempsey6989]

Which tool are you using for the screws? I'm trying to find a quality option

[@leodegas7731]

Thanks for making me laugh and teaching me about Chekhov . Now if you could only teach me to take apart a knife 🔪. 😊

[@danduane1413]

You need an Arbour Press to remove/install those stubborn tubes from scales.....

[@XollyWolly]

How many gem's you see? A lot

[@unfi6798]

Cowabunga Flytanium.!

[@corismsyn]

Is this stonewash or bead blast?

[@edrader]

what's the weight with the new scales?

[@flytaniumofficial]

About 4.8oz for Ti.

[@edrader]

@@flytaniumofficial thank you!

[@Salty_Balls]

I put carbon fiber Flytaniums on possibly the world's ugliest Tenacious ever made and it completely changed how I thought of that knife. Highly recommend.

[@bryzon559]

Looks like an ifixit tool kit.
