just snagged one on sale for $160 before they went out of stock immediately after. dope knife. the thinner packaging for the WMK militaw you said you prefer is for kizer's "vanguard" line which are their mid range knives (anything with 154cm and similar steels). their more premium offerings (s35vn and up) still come in the bigger magnetic box with with the flaps and a kizer pouch. The screws on the DLC version are just a typical pvd coating, the only DLC is on the blade. also if you take one of the scales off there is a hole under each inlay to easily pop them out with a finger. Thanks for the overview!

You mentioned you added lock bar pressure to increase the detent. How do you do that? My Evo 4 seems stuck in the closed detent, and I want to decrease the lock bar pressure. My first thought was to loosen the pivot, but I found it was not at all tight. My seller from eBay mentioned I should tighten up the pivot (per the designer), but that didn't work. I hope to swap out the included spare pivot and bearings to see if i can get it better. As it is, I cannot even flick it open with one hand. It does of course open, but overall, at this point, I am disappointed.
@Southernknife_addict
@Southernknife_addict Ай бұрын
Are you making sure to not put pressure on the lock bar when you’re opening the knife? If you’re fingers on the lock bar it pushes the detent into the blade and locks the knife down how you’re describing. All you do when adding pressure to the lock bar is ever so slightly bend it farther in. If you do the opposite and bend it out too far it can cause lockup issues where the blade may not stay locked open

What tf??? I didn’t know they put a brass BUTTON on this version. Guess I shoulda gone with the “pattern” version. I bought the black “curved” version and it has all the exact same brass accents EXCEPT for that button (my buttons black). I thought the frag pattern being under the clip would be tough on the pocket and the smooth one looked well….smoother. Wish my button was brass tho what a gyp.
