Titech Para 3 Lightweight Titanium Scales

These are the EXACT same as the $50 titanium scales found on Etsy. I bought a pair and they didn'twork, so I took a gamble that maybe this set was made somewhere besides China. I figured these would have better tolerances, but they do not. There's a massive difference between "tight tolerances" like on my Chris Reeve knives, and the wrong tolerances (as seen on these scales). You can make it work but you WILL have to file your hardware &/or scales. They don't fit together. Heinnie - open up the ID on the pivot a few thousandths. Most other bushings are ok, but that's what is killing customers.

Wow makes a dull knife something really special. Fitting is quite simple but tolerances are very tight (which is what you want on finished product) dont expect it to click like lego, you will need some force i used a vice in end and one tip make sure you seat the lock side liner all the way in or lock will travel a lot in final assembley. For the money they are great and transform a knife.

When I informed the HH support team that the kit does not fit, I was told that "The scales and pins are a very tight machine fit but will fit with care" ...even though it simply does not fit (in a couple of places). If you have a fitting-issue, don't be surprised if you 1) are told told that you're wrong, and 2) have to pay a machinist to broach/bore/file/grind it in several places in order to make it fit a Para 3 LW.

Do not buy these scales. Believe the other reviews when they say the tolerances are bad. I found myself filing the hex on my pivot and slip sleeve, using pliers and vices and ended up destroying my pivot. The machining is poor quality. Modding a knife is supposed to be fun and I've done many of them. This one was an awful experience. I'm going to try to return it but probably not since I'm in US. It will go into the trash as it is completely unusable and now I have to order new parts for my Para3. Maybe you'll get lucky, but why take a chance.

Transforms a lw into a tight weight. Gives the pm3 a more premium feel. The tolerances are wicked tight, like had to press the pivot and mini liner in with a smooth jaw pliers. I recommend they delete the mini liner altogether and open the tolerances a wee bit. Thus the 4 stars vice 5. As long as I don't disassemble it it will continue to be an awesome upgrade.

These scales are beautiful. They are well machined and chamfered with a nice blasted finish. I had read other comments questioning the tolerances but found that they were tight and spot on to match the factory tolerances when installed properly. The fit is perfect with slight adjustment of the lock bar screws with the blade slightly open, though this takes patience. I did find that the hex part of the pivot screw took a little bit of pressure to push into the hex cutout on the scale as tolerances are so tight, but this was nothing that a light tap with a mallet couldnt solve. The scales went together beautifully and within minutes of tuning the knife was dropping shut and flicking open perfectly. The weight of the titanium is excellent adding balance to the knife by making it sit better in the hand, this is much better than the factory lightweight. I also noticed the factory knife was not perfectly centered and had a single washer, this kit fixes that perfectly providing 2 phosphor bronze washers and the ability to ce ter perfectly. These scales are a much needed enhancement to the Para3 LW increasing the strength of the knife dramatically, which is important since the lightweight model does not have steel liners and relies on the scales for strength. Lock up on the knife is perfect, the action is buttery smooth and everything is better than factory. If you take the time to fit these scales correctly you will have a beautiful knife.

Makes a peasant knife a prince, I love them, easy to fit if you know what your doing with knives, quick shipping into Germany, I have the UKPK and para 2 as well, they make super cool family

The scales look nice, and all spacers and screws are included in the kit, but the design makes for a far greater lock up, lock stick and difficulty fine tuning the knive. A recent YouTube clip explains the same problem, wish I'd seen that before ordering from the EU. Too bad.

lovely projetc fitting these and it makes a basic spydie into a high end one at a fraction of the cost, great value
