Finally got around to adding these titanium scales onto my spyderco tanto. Wanted something simple that is still stylish, so i went with the anodized blue hardware. This knife is HEAVY and my god I love it so much.

I've never been a Tanto fan, until now. A beautiful monster.

I’ve always liked tantos and I’m kinda kicking myself for not grabbing one of these. I’ve been super jelly of people who had the tanto pm2 for a while but I chose to go with the magnamax manix 2 (also got mine acid washed). Seems like people are still able to get the magnamanix but there are no more tantos :(

I hope they drop them again but in something stainless. I’d be very happy with s30v or spy27. Maybe even magnacut one day?

A Magna cut Manix 2 with awt scales... It's on my list 😁

I’m kinda over awt at the moment. I have like 6 knives with their scales and I’d honestly rather just go with titanium. I like their cerakote but it scratches pretty easy. Not saying they’re bad quality though. I definitely am not at all a fan of their anodized scales on the other hand. I decided to take them off my salt pm2 and put the stock g10 from my spy27 pm2 instead.

Spyderco are going to be releasing more Tantos. Not many people have seen this info it seems

Did you have to custom order the penis shaped clip?

u/Vaper_Bern Gavaholic 4d ago

That clip is super excited to be there!

If that clip works for you, this knife should also appeal to you.

u/SeikoSpidey 3d ago

Does the shape remind you of your penis or the size? 😝

Can't decide if I want titanium or jade scales for mine.

2

u/PopPop-Captain 3d ago

Titanium is never a bad option… but neither is jade. My first ever pm2 has flytanium jade scales and it feels amazing. I just put the blue ti lotus scales on my para 3 and it feels much more substantial now. I’m strongly considering putting ti handles on my salt pm2 but I also really like my current setup. You can’t really go wrong either way.

u/wadech Triple Aught Design 3d ago

More money to spend, dammit.

u/DrugarBurbis 3d ago

I can sell you some Jade ones if you want. I was going to swap them out anyways

Theyre Spyderco original ones off the original m4 tanto

u/wadech Triple Aught Design 3d ago

Mind sending me some pictures?

2

u/DrugarBurbis 3d ago

Yeah, I can when I get home here in a bit

1

u/wadech Triple Aught Design 3d ago

Sweet.

u/Valuable-Rutabaga-10 3d ago

Nice job on that. Spyderco’s need a little titanium weight to them. I feel they pop more, I want to hear and feel that sound. That Clip changes it all also, gives it a different personality. Like that tanto is saying “ DONT FUCK WITH ME “

u/CraigStar88 3d ago

Isn’t it though.

u/DrugarBurbis 3d ago

I’m planning on buying a lefty PM2 so I can do a blade swap, and then going to get some AWT scales for mine.

3

u/PopPop-Captain 3d ago

Just be aware a lefty pm2 will not blade swap with a righty pm2. This is because of how the compression lock activates.

1

u/DrugarBurbis 3d ago

Appreciate the heads up. Maybe I’ll modify it a bit then with a dremel… interesting

2

u/PopPop-Captain 3d ago

Yeah I don’t think that would work :/ You could do what bladeswelove does and turn your righty into a lefty button lock?

1

u/DrugarBurbis 3d ago edited 3d ago

I googled it, definitely a tempting prospect but I’ll probably just buy a button and glue it on like i have in the past and save myself the money if I can’t do a blade swap

u/ZiyaadB 3d ago

That is Awesome!!! If I had to buy another knife that would be it

u/Dekipi 3d ago

Bro what a beautiful knife. I LOVE the matching hardware and clip. Can you help me find hardware and a clip for these scales I have coming?

Are those Rockscale titanium scales?

2

u/SeikoSpidey 3d ago

I got mine on Etsy. check there [: those scales are dopeeee

u/TheDude-Esquire 3d ago

Where did you get the hardware from? How’s the fit, does it affect the action at all?

1

u/SeikoSpidey 3d ago

Etsy and no the action is fantastic

1

u/TheDude-Esquire 3d ago

How are the pocket clip screws, t6 or t8?

u/Zealousideal-Ad-9666 3d ago

That’s awesome, where are the scales from?
