I got both of mine today. The action is perfect on both but they’re also both off center which is surprising.
but i think I’m going to try to turn this one into a native 5 or manix2

Every single Para 3 Lightweight I've seen is off center to the left, there's only a single pivot washer and it's on the right. I've taken them open and tried everything I know to move the centering and it doesn't budge. This has been the knife that is giving me cognitive/behavioral therapy on my pathological issues with blade centering. I force myself not to be bothered by it because the knife is so so good.
Mine just arrived. If anyone wants the 2nd one ($138 net to me), then speak now, as if not, it'll be on its way back to DLT in the morning.Looks like they’re sold out. I was sent two by accident, so will send one back, unless someone out there wants to cover my costs to send it to them instead.

And IMHO, you'd have to be pretty OCD to consider the two I have as off-center.
I'm now kicking myself for not grabbing one of these. I got a LW the day they were released and it's seen pocket time almost daily all summer. I don't like red knife scales but would have scale swapped the M390 blade into a black scale or an upcoming LW release. Oh well, might grab one eventually off the secondary market.

Perfectly centered . . . Seems like luck of the draw.
