If you got this knife let me know what you think! I'd love to see more people getting into flipping and modding knives. If you have any questions about the mods leave a comment or DM me on Instagram and I'll help you out! EDIT: It would seem this is basically an ELB Mamba clone so, while I would still suggest it for $30, If you have the money, please buy a real Mamba to support ELB!

Mine seemed glued as well. But they did come off. They were wet underneath. I think it has something to do with the coloring of the steel liners. They will (should) wiggle free. Just keep on it.

Hi there, I found that the screws the hold the knife together, the ones that reside under the cover, get loosened too. I recommend locking them tight too. You need to lock them tight first because you won't be able to reach them after the main two screws are locked tight. Awesome review, thank you

Hey Will, so I am not fully understanding how to remove the latch. Do you only do the work on the bite handle? And I’m not very good with the vocabulary so I don’t understand what screws to take out or just unscrew(I’m new to flippping). Also, for the sanding of the G10, could I just use any sandpaper I can find around the house or is it best just to leave it if I don’t have that specific one you have? Thanks
@robertyin4668
@robertyin4668 4 жыл бұрын
You only have to do the work on the bite handle to remove the latch. The screws you have to take out on the bite handle are all of the body screws (everything but the pivot screw). You only have to loosen the pivot one. Any sandpaper is fine as long as its around 800+ grit.

I would recommend taking the risk and taking the latch off, but you can just hold the latch handle or bite handle while you flip. but thumb rollovers are kinda bad but its ok.

It's true but the Allen wrench is very bad quality and will strip your screws. If you plan on upgrading to any knife in the future the torx set is completely necessary

Great vid man, upgraded from an absolutely garbage $10aud one to this one and the difference is huge! Whilst trying to remove the latch though I've come into a problem, even after removing all of the screws, the G10 wont budge, not in the slightest, even with pretty hefty force. I'm assuming there's glue as well, any way of getting rid of this? Cheers in advance.

Hey, I know i'm pretty late, but I also ran into this issue and figured it out. The g10 is glued onto the metal part. I just took a razor blade to wedge it in by the pivot and separated it.

Yo!!! I had the same problem if you can get the edge of a knife in between the G10 and the rigid body of the knife you can pry it apart really easily, the little bit of glue scared me at first as well, but it gave way with just a small amount of pressure, just enough that you can't really do it with your fingernail.
