Undeniably one of Spyderco’s best selling knives, the Paramilitary 2 was Chroma's first option for customized Scales. 

  • Fits Spyderco Paramilitary 2
  • Textured nylon PA12 construction.
  • Comes with matching bead with 0.38" hole diameter. 
  • USA
  • This is for scales only. Knife not included.

What is Nylon PA12 ?

Additively manufactured on an HP MJF 580. PA12 is a durable nylon that has low water absorption.  Note that this material is not nearly as stiff as the stock G10 so the scales are a thicker to compensate as well as to provide thickness for contouring.  Nylon is also the base material in FRN (Fiber reinforced Nylon).  Durability is similar to FRN but not quite as stiff without the fiber reinforcement.  It won’t shatter but it may scuff or dent over time with very heavy use.

Warranty

Chroma warranties all of their products 100% for 1 year against manufacturing defects and anything that is not “wear and tear” under normal use.  They do quality checks on each set of scales to ensure they meet our tolerance specifications.  That being said, the industrial 3D printing process we use is advanced, complex, and can occasionally be prone to cosmetic and other errors.  If you have any issues related to your purchase, email them directly at help@chromascales.com and they will make it right.

    Chroma Scales

    Posted by Jameson (JBlade4) on 1st May 2022

    I purchased these scales recently from REC to check out the new polymer material. I believe I have purchased scales from the majority of scale makers, so these were definitely a new interest in the knife industry. Chroma is based out of Vancover Washington. These scales are newer to the industry as Chroma 3D scales use an industrial 3D polymer printing to make a variety of scale images. They are lightweight, sturdy, and add a new look to your blades. I purchased the Lava scale design. Overall, I like the scales and they photograph really well. On the other hand, I would like to see the actual print quality more clear. I felt my scales were a tad blurry as it appears the image may have been enlarged to print on the scales. During installation I oiled my scales to darker the scales, but they did not absorb any oil. This may be beneficial to some buyers that are looking for less porus scales that wick water, oil and other liquids. You will want to take caution you do not over tighten your screws as this material feels a bit softer than G10. I recommend adding a small amount of loctite 242 to secure screws to maintain a snug placement. As always, the team at REC are professional, helpful, and top notch. I look forward to purchasing products from them in the future.
