I had a deal for just a Para 3 LW blade and liner. But the guy wasn't ok with getting a normal amount of money for it. Otherwise it would have been worth it to buy the scales ! I think you'd have to count around 100€ total for the Ti LW scales.
Cheers frère I guess a 20 € duty stamp wouldn't be that bad, all things considered. Still painful, zo...
It's a pity you couldn't get the blade & liners deal, that sure would have been ideal for whoever intends to install custom scales from the get go.

It is ! I posted an annouce on le bon coin, asking for Spydercos with broken handles, blades that were used as screwdrivers or things like that ! The guy asked if had LW scales for him, I told him no but directed him to heinnie's. too expensive for him but he wouldn't let a BD1N blade go for what I thought was a very fair offer. Weird reaction when he can't do anything with it and won't choose the repair option I proposed him
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

i don't know. i remember thinking once the p3lw was released that a salt was a natural progression and would soon follow. it didn't happen.
Well the question I still have is, will they go all in with everything they make in MagnaCut and make them true Salt models, or will there be knives with the blade steel and standard hardware that isn't Salt rated? I'm expecting the latter, but it would be pretty cool to see a lot of models get the Salt treatment that have never got it, and even without the accompanying hardware it will be a close compromise. Then you'll just have to keep the hardware and liners from rusting.

as i'm sure you're well aware, i'm really looking forward to the manix lw salt, but i'd still love a magnacut manix with liners and g10 that isn't considered a salt knife. i think that would probably create more problems for spyderco though. once a steel is designated as a salt steel, i doubt they'll put it in a non-salt model where people might experience corrosion and complain because they don't know what they're doing.

Perhaps he's planning on making/printing some custom scales instead
More hassle than buying ready-made scales (in titanium and outside the UE, at that) but much cheaper. Also potentially more fun.

Don't know, but the fit on the TI scales I got have never been quite right. Some dimension is very minutely off, and I either get blade play or a an overly tight blade. Would not recommend.
