Maybe the pics don’t do it justice however, if you like it, that’s all that matters.

Guess that's your subtle way of saying you don't like them?

Hi Benben,

They look nice.

Why do you call them "Zirconium"? I don't think they are made from Zirconium?

I took these pics real late last night, woke up 20 minutes late this morning, posted these real quick and hopped in the shower for work.

This Para 3 is a Cru-wear, smooth black G-10 Knifecenter exclusive that I bought new in 2017/18? Bought it and stuck it straight in my safe. At the first of the year I sold it to a coworker, he changed out with the Metonboss Zirconium scales and pocket clip.

It definitely added some heft, this little guy is super solid! With these scales, this is the slickest Spyderco I own now, the action is very impressive!

Zirconium is exactly how they're marketed.

Man, I like the ones made for the Smock. I can't decide on the standard or the frag style. Cool stuff, OP. Thanks for posting.

I tried Zirconium from Menton Boss once on a PM2. They were just too heavy.

They’re definitely heavier, but very solid. I’ve been carrying Medfords & a Spartan, this Para 3 isn’t heavy at all!

Zirconium is corrosion resistant, exotic, and about 5/6 the density of iron/steel.
