Your build looks great! I'm doing a similar one now with t he Flytanium Crossfade scales, but in the stonewash finish and with brass accents. Two questions for you: 1. Did your Flytanium screw set come with a white (uncoated) pivot screw and also a backing/housing that the pivot screw screws into, and if not where did you get those parts? 2. Is there a reason you decided not to install a backspacer? I chose to get one for my build, thinking it would add stability and a bit of color to the knife overall, but I was on the fence about it. Thanks.
@MitchBollig18 күн бұрын
Thanks! 1) My Flytanium screw set was just the body screws - no pivot HW...mine were just the factory originals. 2) As for a backspacer, I didn't even think about it - I was just focused on migrating the frame/scales to Ti. In retrospect, I really like the idea - I think you made a good choice. And lastly, I would have loved a stonewashed set, but Flytanium didn't have them stonewashed when I purchased (sometimes the early bird gets the worser worm;-). Thanks for stropping by!🤜🤛✌️

@MitchBolligАй бұрын
Hey that makes 2 of us! (I actually use my knives😉). There's no arguing that G10 is a standard insofar as grip/weight/strength balance. On a rather beefy/bulky bruiser like this one, the titanium frame really enhances those qualities. I've found the couple ounces of weight that OG metal scales add in the pocket carry can also be reassuring when you use these tools wearing gloves. Thanks for stropping in to check it out! ✌️👊

I just bought the plus modified wharncliffe (or reverse tanto) blade in Chinese steel, bought at Wally World for $27.99. I agree with the reviewer, that the weird stiff spring is annoying. Don’t know if use will fix that. Deployment is hard on the finger and the hard multi stage close is unpleasant. I would have gladly paid $7 more for AUS 10 or Sandvik 14c28N steel. The grip was a different pattern modified plastic or nylon different than in the video, that was surprisingly comfortable in my large (XL glove) hand, not sharp edges Or slippery. I like the feel-even for a budget knife, and the blade style-a pretty stout back with a sabre grind in a satin finish.

@MitchBolligАй бұрын
M4 and Cru-wear are from a similar boat - both semi-stainless particle metallurgy tool steels. I've personally found them similar on all fronts except stainlessness - M4 develops a deeper natural patina (corrosion) on my blades - so I have to oil them. These are all great every day use steels - including S30v - just determine what is the most important quality for each of your blades, and know that steel choices provide trade offs to meet these objectives. Enjoy, and thanks for stropping by! 🤙✌️
