Is the h1 or h2 steel better?
@LrdwEDC
@LrdwEDC 9 күн бұрын
According to knifesteelnerds, the steel change to H2 was not necessarily an improvement on H1. It appears to be more due to steel availability, and the need to use a different steel manufacturer that resulted in a slight composition change, and therefore a new name. knifesteelnerds.com/2022/06/06/h2-steel-h1-the-sequel/

Thanks for giving it a go! Im glad it helped improve the action a little. I believe you're right on the money about the narrow range of perfect tightness coming from friction of the washers and the spring tension of the Omega springs. Here's hoping that there is an omega spring out there that will give the bar lock more 'oomph' when sucking the blade back in. Cheers!

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this great video! And how cool that your wife is there with you too! Sometimes, from some of other's videos, I get the impression that they're hiding down in the basement, hoping their wife doesn't find out what's going on 😅. I really dig your red and blue combination! I'm 52, just within the past couple of months have developed an interest in SAKs. They're definitely more affordable than motorcycle modifications (which was my previous hobby), and "almost" as much fun 😅. Just picked up my 3rd last Wednesday, a Rambler. My first two were the Huntsman and Fieldmaster, definitely great tools, but I quickly realized that they're just a tad bulky to be carrying in my pocket all day. I attatch whichever one to a Keysmart pocket clip so that they hang inside my front pocket. So far, I've switched the scales on both bigger knives: one now has green aluminum,, and the other has Tero Tuf, which I like the looks and feel of better. Have been toying with the idea of titanium scales for the Rambler, it's just difficult to justify the cost 😬😅. Thanks again! Looking forward to more content! Best wishes!

My only EDC now (aside from phone/wallet/keys) is The Manager (Rambler + Pen). The Phillips/bottle opener is the BEST combo tool Victorinox has made. Why? Because it's a SMALL, inline Phillips. It's the perfect size for the small screws you find in electronics (which I deal with FAR more than "regular screws). And the bottle opener portion eliminates the other openers because honestly... I can't remember the last time I needed a can opener in a pinch. 🤷 Plus, the nail file (which I use often) had a small slotted driver for those rare chances. I don't want a light. I have a phone. And once I learned about a trick to opening a wine bottle with a house key (yes this comes up, don't judge me), having a cork screw became less necessary. The only things I want on the manager (and I'm working on it) are a toothpick and a SIM tool. I'll probably just have to modify the scales a little.

Hi friend thank you for the disassembly demonstration, I wonder if the detent and rattle could be gotten rid of by swapping out the bearings with washers as an alternative to a different pair of omega springs? I have noticed that most of my bearing-crossbar lock knives are easier to swing open than my washer-crossbar lock knives so perhaps the washers may prevent the blade from moving around as much. Just a thought. Cheers.
