Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Blackheart]

I've used WD-40, it works until it dries and that's it. If it's a new knife mac then that shouldn't be happening,
Doug's solution is the best bet but see if you can rinse it out and use some Nano oil, if you're still having
the problem I'd contact them or take it back.

Yeah, the Trisula grind is insane, had to have one! Mine has a black G-10 handle, only one of 10 made.
Haven't gotten around to studying how to use it but I see how it can do some serious damage.
I'm not a collector of fixed blades but this one caught my eye.

The WD-40 thing is more for solvency than lubrication.  Dave's instructions on the bearings at least is to do a soak in that and then rinse and lube, IIRC.

I hit it with alcohol this morning and it was really nice, I'll lube the detent when I get some better oil in and see if that gets it.

Thanks guys!  I really don't want to send the damn thing in.

[Blackheart]

Do what works mac, it may get smoother over time as well. Yeah, sending it in would be a hassle…Sure hope
you don't have to go that route.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I don't think it's a "wear in" thing because it was smooth before and is intermittently so now. Guessing lubing the detent ball and track will get it done!

Today, a Case Russlock:

[Blackheart]

Nice Case! They make some really great knives, I need to get more Cases…

[Arabit]

Can I get a full look of the blade too MC. Looks lovely…

[mclaincausey]

Shonuff. This was D's blade previously. Love each of the killer Cases I got from him and rotate them with my tacticals. Meaning I'm usually carrying a Case.

Russlock is a novel one handed liner lock folding knife.

[Blackheart]

You know…I think I'm going to pick up one of those this coming weekend if I can find it here. Love the
design and blade.

[mclaincausey]

Smart move. It's a great edc. The one handed opening took me a few tries to master; firm detent. Great blade once you get it down.

I hit the F3 with isopropyl this morning and I think that cleared up the detent issue. Smooth again and it seems to be staying that way.

[Blackheart]

Yeah, great edc knife for sure! I'm lovin' yours so I'll be on the hunt for it this coming weekend.

Right on! Good to hear your detent  issue is solved, let's hope that was all it needed.

Lethal as fk….

That would be a little conspicuous to open carry, no?

@JamesMarg:

Lethal as fk….

And about as subtle.

But all is good.  Beast mode is back….

[JamesMarg]

Super Duper 25oz beast mode!

[mclaincausey]

How does it fit in that tiny sheath?
