Great knife and order
Love the knife. Can’t change the scales fyi. They are permanently attached. But a great knife for water activities. And a great price for magnacut.

CQI is Working
I was going to buy an aftermarket scales kit.for this knife, but this is the best Para 3 LW I've owned. No blade play, blade is centered, and it has drop shut action. Feels more.solid than my other Para 3 LW's. Spyderco's CQI must be working! The added pluses here is that it's a Salt and I got it at a Black Friday sale price.
