***Please note that disassembly of FRN versions can result in a stripped keyed barrel at the clip. There is no easy way to remove this once it has been stripped. Please use caution when removing the screw at the clip.***
***We are seeing some of the 15V models develop strong detents or detent lash. It is only happening on a small number of these, but does exist. If this has happened to you, we would be happy to provide a prepaid label and offer full refunds (including original shipping costs).***
We’ve upgraded this model's Agent Milling to provide a more aggressive texture for improved grip and control. All new production now features this updated design, replacing the original smoother milling.
The Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight (LW) replacement scales are the most complex set of scales we have produced thus far. Our Para 3 Lightweight scales have taken more design, prototype, and testing hours than any other scale we've manufactured. We made sure they offer an upscale feel, a pleasant assembly experience, and a genuine improvement over factory.
The Para 3 lightweight model was introduced to bring a lighter, more cost-effective entry into the well-respected Para 3 line. It comes in a wide variety of steel types and handle colors to suit anyone's tastes. The reality of manufacturing with molded plastic, however, does have its limitations. We set out to fix that. Our scales increase rigidity, while only adding 0.15 ounces due to the extensive internal pocketing (to put that in perspective, a US Quarter weighs 0.2 ounces). The precision milled 6061-T6 aluminum adds strength and was designed to eliminate the single steel mini-liner and run on TWO washers. We utilize a second phosphor-bronze washer (included with purchase), to better facilitate proper centering, smooth action, and low wear/long life characteristics. They sport the unique Agent styling and skinny profile first introduced on our popular Para 3 G10 replacement scales.
The Para 3 Lightweight replacement scales feature ambidextrous carry options using your favorite wire clip whether it be stock or aftermarket. The aluminum provides superior strength in the clip area, preventing deformation that is often seen on the FRN models. The clip screw barrel is keyed which is nice unless you strip the plastic, making the clip very difficult to remove on FRN models, which won’t happen on our aluminum scales.
