If you already bought this folding knife like me, sorry to hear it and may you find some comfort in the phrase "misery loves company" with me in this pursuit. If you were thinking about getting one, consider this video a savior for your wallet...get ready either way!

Good looking big knife. The extra little mechanical add ons are interesting. I kind of agree for the price you can do better but looks like fun to own.

Agreed it's a looker, and when I do a full carry I'll get over those secondary lock pins - it was just maddening on day 1. I know I shouldn't complain, because I had to spend conscious effort learning where NOT to put my hand on the XM-24/27 lockbar so that I could open with the thumb studs. 🤜🤛✌

Looks so good, I knew there had to be something wrong with it, haha. Saying that, just because I don't have one, that is. Love the looks and I do appreciate the doo-dads, gimmicks, novelties, etc. of toys but if someone's expecting it to be a standard frame lock, they'll be sorely disappointed. Thanks for showcasing it, Satu absolutely saved it for ya.

Yeah, in this case, the mechanism got in its own way - when/if I do a full review, I know how they could solve it for a future iteration - just trim those pins down...but in reality no one is gonna use this in such a manner. Just pull out a fixed blade... 👊

Glad the studs helped bro. If you know you don’t want that secondary lock you can send it to me. I can make some plugs like I did for mine. I just have to fit em to the individual knife Without that mod I wouldn’t be able to use it myself. Gotta agree that they had a bunch of designs flaw’s from the start. I would not recommend buying one either. But it doesn’t give an opportunity to mod. Ya know I am all about that 👊😎🤘🤘

Thanks Dave! I wasn't planning on carrying it for a bit, but I will def let you know when I do a proper full carry if it drives me over the edge (that will be sometime in 2024...I'm a snail :-). At the outset I guess I would put this in the category of a "successful attempt at seeing if something can be done to execute this mechanism" but at the same time a "failed attempt at melding normal use of #theoldesttoolknowntohumankind with said mechanism". 🤜😂🤛
