When I need to grip a barrel with pliers I always use a thick piece of rubber band for additional grip and protection.
Very nice! I have the lightweight and have been on the fence about getting those scales. You just helped me make up my mind. Thanks buddy! Great video
AWT transformed my PM3 lw too. Super snappy and solid. For some reason did more for this model than my PM2.
My Para 2 (not the lightweight) was a little stiff when I got it. Had to adjust the pivot just a hair, now it runs beautifully. Good video, Doody. Thanks
I like early morning doodys before work. AWT scales are so awesome!
my spy27 para 3 came with slight lockstick like that too where it clicked when i pushed it in.
What fixed it was cleaning it very well with alcohol so there was no lubricant and allowed it to wear in. After about an hour of fidgeting it was perfect.
I tried oil and Graphite(separately) first and both only made it worse.
I’d love that blade too! Could definitely make use of it.
Great review!!! Thank you!!!
FWIW Eric Glesser has said that blades from the lightweight SHOULD work with the G10 scales and vise versa. No guarantee but personally I would feel comfortable trying it.
Also, there’s only one washer because the scales are made of nylon, so they made one of the scales really smooth in order to act like a nylon washer.
For a bit more detail check out the Para 3 LW tear down video on SpiderCo’s TH-cam channel.
Gotcha okay that makes sense
👍 you got a nice snappy one . Ordered some gun metal gray native 5 AWT s last night for the maxamet
I always wondered if the PM3 could have its scaled replaced.. I installed some blades we love scales on a standard pm3 n kinda want a LW in spy27
Awt is the way, I have a set for my mini adamas on the way
Nice my Dood! Come on lightweight manix scales...come on lightweight manix scales...come on lightweight...... Come on OG Goat, AWT. When they come they'll be sold out days before I can even make it to the website I'm sure. The para 3 looks badass tho!
Haha yeah hurry up AWT!!
good idea
AWT is the bomb 💣 good fitting scales.
This company seems to make pretty nice scales. Probably gonna get some for my native5 lw and later on my para3 lw
If they can do all these LWs, and a G10 Manix, they can do a Manix LW, ive been waiting for a while now.
I love my P3 LW, even with the off center blade and FRN scales it’s a great little blade but the AWT scales really kick it up a notch or two ❤
For anyone looking at getting them I would recommend getting a lynch clip to replace the wire one because the wire clip moves so much that it’ll wear a hole in the cerakote that you can see even while the clip is attached, I can’t understate how ugly it looked lol - so bad that I just ended up buying a new set and put the lynch clip on it from the get go (which I do with all coated aluminium/wire clip knives now)
Apart from that they’re fantastic! Also I absolutely love that CTS BD1-N steel so don’t feel like you NEED a super steel. I always intended to get another lightweight in a “better” steel but the BD1-N has grown on me so much that I no longer have any desire to do so
Yeah man, even Spydercos more “budget” steels are fucking awesome
Good morning Doods!!! Have been thinking about doing this just not sure if I want to yet. Love all my Pm3. I would have probably said the F word at least 14 times doing this 😂
I want one so bad i just can't afford it the Pm 2 is one of my dream blades for sure
Is that the cast iron?
awt scales remove the liner, and add a 2nd washer to make the build 'symmetric'. this is why they can help with off-centered blades
Very nice!
Damm i would contact AWT for sure they probably will change your scales, also they sell a full set of para 3 lightweight hardware with the barrel and pivot
Can you tell me where you got that amazing parts holding tray?!
Tinkerforce.com
I know you said it wasn't a big deal and I'm glad you were able to do this, but I really wish you would have told me there was an issue with it...I would have taken it back(and probably did what you are doing now lol)
Nah it’s fine I didn’t mention it because it was still a decent deal for me, I got these great scales and clip and hardware. All good dood 🤘
and yes, AWT includes the additional washer
Doody, I'll take the Ti hardware if it's not claimed yet.
man i had some closed blade play / detent rock it was weird. AWT said, they are not perfect and I had to return
Weird! Never heard of that happening. Get a replacement?
@@doodysdaggers I kinda just gave up. I might try again some other time
If nobody claims that blade I’ll buy it off of you. I snapped the tip off of my s30v para 3 and ground it down to a stubby tanto but would love to have a full blade again lol.
Somebody claimed it but never followed up. Hit me up on IG
This might be the way to go rather than Para 3 G10...... Theres only 1 or 2 makers of lightweight scales that I know... and theyre not cheap... in the end its almost the same price as a g10 version... What you reckon is the difference???
I think this route ends up being a little more expensive because these scales are about $100. But totally worth it, they feel so good
even though the lightweight para is cheaper by arounf that much too?? and it still works out $100 more? damn@@doodysdaggers
Has anyone claimed that extra blade? I’d love to do a custom build with it if it’s still up for grabs.
Message me on ig
AWT scales ship with the extra washer 👍
Okay cool! Thanks bud
I keep forgetting to check for Native 5 LW scales. Would definitely change the game there.
They’ve got them at AWT! Might be out of stock but they make more fairly often
Can’t wait to get mine. Just waiting for the stupid salt to drop.
Hurry up Spyderco!!
What color of these scales? Look's like cerakote.
They’re like a dark grey or black
Hey what's up brother how are you doing today? And if you have not yet given the blade to anyone! I will take the blade if you don't mind.. I have just the right spot for it since the blade of my para3 is pretty beat up.. that blade of yours would be perfect... thank you and have a great day.. also let us know how good spy27 is because I thinking about buying one
It’s been claimed, sorry!
I would love the hardware you didn’t need if at all possible haha. Been looking for some good hardware that doesn’t cost too much.
Someone claimed it already, sorry!
Plastic and metal washer don't mix.
Yes AWT sends a washer.
Would love the hardware if nobody else is interested
I'll take the blade if no one wants it lol
Someone already messaged me. If he falls through then it’s yours!
Hell yea dood thanks
$100 scales on a $120 knife. Lol nope.
I don’t have a Para 3 but am rocking AWT on my PM2 and they are definitely great scales. I will say though, in your shoes I am pretty sure I’d be sticking with that dark Ti hardware as I think that looked pretty sick even with a satin blade. But it’s your jam and very cool of you to be passing the blade and hw on!🫵🏼👊🏼
You might be right I’ll probably be switching back to those ti ones
Bought some AWT scales for my Manix after watching your video, they’re fantastic.
I did break the tip off my Para 3, not sure if you still have the old blade but I would love to take it off your hands if you do
I don’t, sorry mang
Glad you’re digging the scales 🤘
