Flytanium Lotus PM3 Carbon Fiber Handle Scales

The Flytanium Lotus Scales are purple G10 with raindrop carbon fiber, made for the Spyderco Para Military 3 and using the stock knife's hardware.

Raindrop carbon fiber is a layup where the weave is cut through at angles, so the pattern shows as overlapping ellipses rather than a flat checkerboard. It catches light differently as the knife turns. Purple beneath it is unusual on a working knife, and it is the reason to choose these over a plain set.

With the scales fitted the Para Military 3 weighs about 3.88 ounces, which is worth knowing if weight matters on a pocket knife. They use the hardware from the stock knife, so nothing extra is needed, and this is an aftermarket part rather than a Spyderco one. Explore more accessories.
