The titanium scales are nearly perfect. The stonewash is excellent, and I much prefer the knife with the extra weight, like I did with the titanium scales on my mini Bugout. The only bad part is the reassembly. They don't line up perfectly with the very roughly cut original Dragonfly parts. I'm sure it's not Flytanium's fault, but it's still a problem. There are no instructions, of course, so I searched the Internet, and the only thing helpful was a Nick Shabazz video where he disassembles a regular Dragonfly. He refers to a ApostleP trick of using a plastic tie to tie down the lock on top of the spring. I tried on an off for two days while I waited for a plastic tie to help with no success. Finally I found one and it took about 5 or 10 minutes to get the screw to drop through the lock on the blade side. From there, it took a few hours of tightening and loosening and relubricating to get the action to be perfect again. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but I just love the results. I've been carrying it ever since.
