Prices include Paypal fees and shipping. CONUS only. No trades at this time.

These are both light users but the edges are still factory (only lightly stropped) and in good shape. I have WiHa Torx tools and I've taken dozens of PM2s apart and put them back together, so there's no stripped / galled screw-heads or any screw-ups typical of someone butchering a disassembly/reassembly. Neither has a sticky lock and both have good centering (with the aftermarket scales and with the factory scales).


First up is a Para2 CTS 204P. This one came with the ugly Dark Green scales, so I pulled them when I got the Carbon Fiber scales from GatorScales and have had those on it since. The surface of the CF scales shows some slight machine marks from when they were made and some very slight scuffing from being carried. I tried to capture this in the pictures as well but they barely show up. The pics are pretty washed out due to the green cloth background, so I may upload some more pics if necessary (they look really good in person).

This one comes with the factory scales in near-perfect shape (I don't know that I carried it even half a dozen times before changing the scales). I have carried with the CF scales a fair amount but rarely used it. I'm throwing in one of Casey's Titanium deep-carry clips (pictured).
Price is $225

Next is a Para2 CTS 20CP. I didn't care for the Grey scales so I pulled them and dyed them red (which I also hated, so I used RIT dye remover and cleaned them back to Grey (you can still see some very slight red on the inside of the scales in the recessed parts, but the outside is 99% back to factory Grey (I tried to capture it in the pics).

I ordered some Allen Putman Toxic Green Honeycomb-patterned G10 scales and put them on. They look good but are prone to getting dirty so they have to be washed fairly often (they clean up pretty nice with dish soap and a scrub-brush). I'm throwing in one of Casey's Titanium deep-carry clips with this one also (pictured).

Price is $225

Any chance you'd consider selling the 204P knife without the CF scales? I love the green G10!
 
Not really interested in trades at this time and I'd prefer not to separate if I don't have to.
