Got my knife today. Crazy light! My friend has the Urban Trapper, but since this was supposed to be a beefier knife, I didn't expect it to still be so light. It almost feels like a toy. The liner lock works well, and it flipped open nicely on the first try, which is actually rare for me with a new knife. I get a bit of a weird sound when pressing in the liner lock to close the knife. I'm hoping it'll go away over time. I haven't spent too much time using the knife yet, just did a quick paper-cutting test with the piece of paper that came in the envelope. It seems to cut well from that. I like the deep carry pocket clip a lot, although it felt a bit loose, which made me nervous. I'm going to use it as-is for a while, and if things get more loose I'll probably give it all a once-over with some nano oil, loctite, + tightening.
Note: to give an idea of my perspective, I also have a Ferrum Forge Falcon (daily carry), Boker Plus Kwaiken, and Kizer Uprising A2.
SoundtoxinMine makes a noise as well. I think a bit of lubricant would help. The lock and blade are rubbing on each other and since it’s the metal is thin there, it sort of vibrates.
VerwilderdTitanium and steel have this effect. Lube will most likely make it worse. It will wear down, if not you can try rubbing the contact surface with a pencil, the graphite makes it a lot smoother and help wear it down. This is why most knives have a metal inlay there :)
