Titanium Tanto Tuesday: The PM2 Gets Its Own Holiday on r/knifeclub
There are certain posts on r/knifeclub that don't need a long write-up because the title does all the work. "Took out the PM2 for Titanium Tanto Tuesday today" is one of them. In eleven words it tells the community exactly what's in the pocket: a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, upgraded with titanium scales, wearing a tanto blade, carried on the one day of the week the sub dedicates to titanium.
The Tuesday pocket-check ritual is one of the oldest traditions in the knife community. Across r/knifeclub and r/knives, users post their carry on Tuesdays under punny banners like Ti Tuesday, Titanium Tuesday, and Tanto Tuesday — and when a post combines both themes, it hits a sweet spot the sub can't resist. A PM2 in titanium scales with a tanto blade is the intersection of two of the most upvoted topics in the hobby: aftermarket upgrades and blade-shape appreciation.
The PM2 itself needs no introduction. Spyderco's Paramilitary 2 has been one of the most popular EDC knives in the world for well over a decade, and its aftermarket ecosystem is enormous — titanium scales from shops like Flytanium and Rockscale Design are among the most common upgrades in the hobby. A tanto PM2 is rarer, since the standard model ships with a clip-point blade; tanto versions come from limited runs, blade swaps, or the factory's occasional special editions. That combination is why the post earns its place in the Tuesday lineup: it's common enough to recognize, rare enough to admire.
Posts like this are also a window into how the community rates a build. The comment section on a titanium-tanto PM2 usually splits between people asking where the scales came from, people comparing it to their own builds, and people debating whether the tanto is actually useful for EDC cutting or just looks aggressive. It's the same conversation every Tuesday, and that consistency is part of the appeal — the ritual gives the sub a shared rhythm, and the variations in the knives keep it fresh.
The Verdict: Titanium Tanto Tuesday is the perfect excuse to carry a PM2 build you're proud of — and r/knifeclub will always appreciate the flex.
