This is why it is important to inspect a knife right away and sort out any issues as quick as possible. Once it has been used, sharpened and tampered with and enough time has elapsed it can be difficult to tell if the owner created the problem or not. I contacted them within 1 day of receiving it. ...

If the warranty is this poor, then there really is no warranty. Buck treats their customers better, as does Case. If I were the OP, I would call and speak to someone in W&R at Spyderco. I cannot believe this how they want to leave it. I wasn't clear, I meant call again to follow up as I find it...

I must be misunderstanding, OP. Are you saying that you bought a new, defective Para 3 LW, and that in lieu of a replacement, Spyderco only offered you a discount on a second purchase? That is correct. Here's the letter. https://postimg.cc/NyxPdW9T They said it's not a warranty issue. Honestly, I h...

If both Spyderco and the dealer say it’s not their problem, I suggest opening the knife and seeing if it can be fixed.

Ya, that's what I wanted to do. Didn't want to mess anything up before confirming the lw to g10 conversion fit, but at some point this week I'll try it. Thanks

Regardless of the intent, if you got a messed up knife and didn't realize it until after you had sharpened it and carried it, I would say that is on you. Might sound harsh, but you modified the item and used it, without fully inspecting it and then got unhappy. This is a fundamentally incorrect cha...

One think about those custom scales - they are all made for the G10 models that have different liners (and 2 of them). I am not aware of any custom scales that are directly compatible with the hardware from the LW Para3. If you have a G10 lying around that it will be fine, but if you just buy custo...

I truly appreciate everyone's time answering and chiming in on this forum, but haven't really gotten an answer. I will probably take apart and see what I can do some time this week. Cross your fingers guys I'll let you know if the lightweight is compatible with the g-10 blade as well as what kind of...

I can't say that this was the intention of my post here. I didn't want to argue about warranty responses. I was thinking about deleting the board except that this is actually getting ineresting and could be helpful in the future for responses. I'm surprised that people think that it's okay to not wa...

I’d like to see some pics of the problem. Not sure if these will show up but let's try. Well every time I try it says the file is too large. I'll try with my other phone I'll repost soon. Thanks Okay here you go my friend after much effort here is a link. Thanks for your help and time. https://post...

https://postimg.cc/RWckgL4m my goodness, I finally figured out a way to post it.

Okay how do you upload pictures here? I have tried 2 phones and neither would upload. They both said that the file was too large.

... I'm saying that's poor customer service on Spyderco's part. Discounting some kind of conspiracy at SMKW where they somehow kept track of a returned problem knife and knowingly sent it to you, their response that you should file a warranty claim with Spyderco to fix your new knife sounds like th...

That is a disappointing warranty response , in my opinion. If it would not pass QC, then the customer should never have received it and should not be dealing with now. US made Spydercos should have a ready supply of parts available to fix the knife, so why wasn't it repaired? That was my thought as...
