Your pivot might be loose, it doesn’t sound right when it closes. You can adjust it with a T30 until there is no side to side blade play and then work the action until it smooths out. Washers keep grime from getting into your pivot and has a more controlled feel but they are by their nature not as “smooth” out of the box as bearings. More contact, more friction. That model looks bad ass in all black though.

@supersaiyanbear52985 күн бұрын
Ya know... I keep seeing this one on KSF and man oh man do I love the way it looks.. It seems a little thin to me. Like, the Bravo series kinda left the .21 impression on me. Then, the Gunny series is, what, like .15..? Which is as skinny as I usually like an outdoor's knife. But the ULFK just looks so fricken cool that whenever I see it I'm so tempted to own one and see what she does for myself..

@straighttothepoint347711 күн бұрын
Well that really is what makes a knife is the steel. The clone is essentially just something to look at, where as the original is not gonna break, it will hold an edge, and youll actually be able to get it sharp. A clone is kinda usless in my opinion, i guess you can poke things and open boxes, but even that will be a struggle 😂 (tip breakage, and a dull / soft edge doesnt cut very well.

Very interesting, ive never considered mixing it with water cause it almost seems counter productive, but i guess the balistol would cancel out the potential harm of water? when you initially spray ballistol it comes out in a foam and it doesnt end up being the thinnest, but it worked.

WD40 is a Degreaser more so than a lubricant. It CAN gunk up the insides. Especially if Microtech just so happened to use White Lithium Grease on the springs. If using a Ultratech: what you need; toothpicks, qtips, no particulate cloth, REMington Oil, or Heretic OTF Lube, Ballistol is ok. White Lithium Grease, Compressed Air. 1. Unscrew the glass breaker 2. Insert air can and spray generously 3. Just A FEW drops of Heretic OTF Lube/REMington Oil 4. Run the action 5. One tiny dab in front of actuator and one tiny dab behind 6. Run the action 7. If blade sticks in the retract more than 3 times out of 10 openings then ( see number 9 ) 8. Clean/wipe off excess oil 9. If blade keeps sticking you can either send the knife back to Microtech paying the shipping or you can do it yourself. 10. Take the knife apart, the oil and grease if there is some or there is none will gunk up after awhile, or if none the parts will be rubbing together creating unwanted friction 11. With a microfiber cloth, or cloth with ZERO particulates NO PAPER TOWELS. Wipe EVERYTHING AWAY. 12. Using a toothpick put just a little White Lithium Grease on the tip and spread along the springs 13. The oil, just needs about 4 drops in important places. Along the Railing system, where the springs connect to the locks Just a tad by the stop pin, and just a tad where the railing system slides. Sounds like alot of work but it really isn’t, this is what i do instead of sending it in for maintenance. You can buy the tool bits for cheap on EKnives.com
