I have two para 3 lightweights. One in BD1N and one in M390. I have zero blade play. They both drop shut just like my G10 models do. The only gripe I have is that because lightweights only have one washer they are all uncentered. I did fully disassemble and properly clean them and lube them with nano oil. Zero blade play.
@metal_complex4 жыл бұрын
They aren't all off center. You're just as likely go get a slightly off center blade in the G10 variant. "That guy" also has an upload about how to center the blade of any knife. Maybe you'll find that useful? 😏

Got a P3 LW for like 7-8 months, and I also got side blade play. Even after a disasembly cleaning etc (if I tighten it more, then blade wont drop freely) and I own couple spydies so yeah.... The action is nowher as smooth as a PM2 I owned. So I think i'm gonna try a standard G10. The size is pretty perfect. Like probably many customers, just wish Spyderco will include wire clips on all their let's say "small knives". Also hoping for some LC200N P3 and PM2 would be a dream that come true haha.

I have a small collection of Para 3s, all which started out as G-10 knives, most of which I have switched out the G-10 for copper, brass or titanium scales, sometimes backs pacers and deep-carry clips. I have kept some of the prettier original G-10 scales on their knives, and have kept all the original scales with their original blades/frames, so that a future owner can convert them back if desired.

It is better than just normal BD1, but it's still a budget steel. They upgraded their old BD1 knives to BD1N without a price increase (ukpk, cat). Given that it's frn + budget steel, it seems like you're paying a premium for that compression lock.

The screw that holds the compression lock liner has to be adjusted as well. I think the unlined FRN is sensitive to the torque on both screws (lock and pivot) - at least, when I adjusted both (left neither over-tightened), I got the blade centered without play and drops shut on my LW. Maybe I just got a ringer.....it is M390 so maybe the factory treated it extra-special. And thank you for thinking critically and discussing the trade-offs of weight and strength and what the design goals are. Nice comparo.

I had a chance at getting the Digi Camo G10 in S30V but my dealer had a black handled G10 in S45VN he was willing to sell me for the same price (something larger retailers would not do). I went with the steel upgrade over the scales as nominal an upgrade as it might be. Besides, I can change the scales, can change the blade steel. Not ready to call this my favorite Spyderco yet or even that’s superior to my Para 2. Your 100% right about the clip, it’s awful.

If I were going on a hike, where I would carry everything with me, long distances and elevation changes, I would definitely pick a light one.

I just can't get past the fact that lots of LW users report off-center blades - I get it, it's only one bronze washer because of compression lock, but come on man at least get the FRN "washer" correct to make the blades center more! It's just sloppy in my opinion, considering it's a popular $100 knife, and Spyderco keeps inscreasing their prices every year. The BD1N steel is nice, and FRN has its pros, but overall, it is simply a cheaper version of the G10 Para 3. The hype is gonna fade in my opinion, I assume many people especially new comers bought the knife because it's a budget version of a classical design with compression lock, it's gonna be their cool fidget spinner. True users can't have Para 3 LW as the only knife, they either return it, or keep it as a side piece to their Para 3 G10s/Native 5s.

Honestly to me, what is $50 really in the scheme of things? Yes the G10 is "50% more expensive", but we're talking about a $50 difference. The figure would be more significant if you were choosing between a $1000 and $1500 purchase. You have to look at the knife itself as an investment of sorts, and it's better to invest in quality. "Value" is only meaningful to an extent. Honestly if people are choosing the cheaper option based on that $50 difference they should look into downsizing their collection or buying less knives in general. Quality over quantity always. It isn't a good deal at any price if the quality isn't there.

No the frn is plastic. Yes its tough but it takes dings and scratches bad. G10 is way tougher.

You critics here obviously don’t work your knives. If you only purchase them for collecting or playing, then get the fancy versions. These premium production knife companies are trying to meet a demand for us GIs & working folks who use them as intended.

Didn't you already go through all this in a previous video just showing the lightweight? Redundant?

Hardly... But seriously dude, you could just watch something else on my channel if you think this is redundant. At 14+ uploads per week, you're not limited here.

@@metal_complex come on MC he has 1 subscriber, he knows what he's talking about. Lol 😂 on the flip side you've helped me pick another knife, Im going to go with the maxamet G10, I'd upgrade the scales and that's 60-80$ I might as well get a better steel, I'll get a new clip for it. No big deal

The reason the G-10 version of the para 3 is smoother is because it actually has washers and the lightweight doesn’t have washers
