I really love the size of this knife.
I like the look for the most part, but does it honestly say “Firmly fixed bolt, do not adjust“? That would be like a T-shirt having the washing instructions printed on the front of the shirt. What were they thinking?
The comments from the previous drop also concern me. Seem to be fit and finish issues.
If I knew the lockbar, stop pin, and detent were done well, and if it didn’t have the pivot instructions engraved on the outside of the frame, this would be a no brainer. Maybe in the future these issues will be addressed, I’ll be the first one to buy it.

HandstandsMcGooLol yes, it honestly says that on the handle. I thought I remembered reading something about this knife being inspired by some battleship or something, in which case the printed warnings kind of fit the theme.... But I can't seem to find that now, so I might be remembering wrong. Either way, one way gives me a chuckle, and on the other hand it never ever ever catches my attention, and I carry this knife a LOT.
I'm kind of assuming it was my QC concerns you're taking about? If so, let me just say the concerns aren't unfounded...but I also want to say it's been pointed out many times that I'm way too particular about detent issues lol the stuff I was fussing over, many people never would have even seen as a problem. And the alterations I made, i can't stress enough how small they were. I'm not at home where I can measure, but if I had to guess I'd say I filed down the pin like .005" to correct the issue, if that.....and taking into account the distance between the stop pin and the detent hole, that probably means it could've also been fixed by them moving the detent hole out by about .001"
That's a tiny, tiny amount... Most likely within spec, and at least close enough that another one from that batch might have been exactly perfect even to my standards lol
