Are blades exchangable between caly3's?
I have a G10/VG10 & a carbon fiber/zdp-189 & wondered if the 2 blades were swapable?

Thanks in advance.
 
One problem is the cally 3 is not screwed togeter so the rivets will probably be destroyed when you take it appart.

But if you swap the lock as well as the blade i dont see why it wouldnt work. :thumbup:

Yep, STR may have done this already, you might want to check with him.

Thanks for the advise.

I was hoping as the blade is attached with a screw, that the screw could be removed, the old blade slid out & the other blade slid back in it's place, maybe having to flex the frame slightly to wiggle it in.
 
It might not lock you tight if you swap just the blade.

This is what happened to me when I did a d4 FG handle swap with my d4 wave. I had to swap the lockbar as well to make everything lock up right.
 
I did a blade swap awhile back between the two versions. I just swapped the blades by removing the pivot screw.

I took two knives that both had slight vertical play and I got a VG-10/CF knife that locked up perfect and a ZDP/G-10 knife with worse vertical play.

I ended up switching them back.
