How to disassemble and maintain the Holt Specter V2 Pocketknife

[@ZechsAznable]

Nick, you were making me question my fundamental perceptions of reality and my sanity in general. I was more than a little confused when I got a new notifications for a disassembly video I thought I watched yesterday. But seriously, glad you gave us this follow up. Nice to see such a quick implementation of refinements.

[@marrenmiller]

God I love that feater pattern. I'm buying one as soon as the books open.

[@aria8928]

Nick sha-bat reviews, are the best.

[@pierre8919]

Beautiful knife

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

Always a pleasure to witness innovation. Great work Holt Bladeworks!

[@lucabarrese2474]

Wow, Bruce Wayne is Batman and Nick Shabazz at the same time...really admirable!!

[@3ctaylor1]

Luca Barrese I thought that’s what I saw. Hysterical

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Can't wait for the review 👍👍👍 thanks Nick!!

[@totschopper]

Not sure I'd oil the screw....it has vibratite on it, so it doesn't loosen on its own... I've heard the different Milling patterns actually change the fallshutitude.

[@daveglarner2138]

That knife is freakin fascinating.

[@MrWdabeast]

Man, I want one of these! Hope they make more soon

[@peterviceroy1592]

I consider that the relief in the frame for the pin through the blade to be a design defect. Way too easy to catch debris in that recess and jam the blade up. The recess in the frame Greatly increases the opportunity for the knife to fail to lock open. Further, it’s a bad idea to remove titanium from the most critical place for strength on the knife.

[@lucacadianalbert]

damn those machined/milled scales are amazing.

[@Triaed]

Great review and knife. I have to ask, what oil and locktite (glue stick) are you using?

[@6nosis]

Is there a cape that’s going with the cowl?

[@caseywhite6930]

T15 😮

[@sharpsvilleBill]

Uh, where can we find one of these bad boys for sale, Nick?

[@Keen_Edge]

sharpsvilleBill holt's website is where you sign up for updates on production. That's the only place to get them as of now.

[@jxcellent790]

Hmm again with the interesting detent, still loving that lock bar cutout! I'm hoping to score a utility version but there's too many good knives coming out and I'm not getting any richer buying the flavor of the month and reselling hah

[@randallkelley3599]

They seem to have gone the extra mile for this design, am ordering one, if I can find it? I like this better than the Shiri!

[@93tedd]

Shouldn't the "fallshutitude" increase as the detent softens?

[@NickShabazz]

Nope. Surface area of contact is the same. Lockbar tension and pivot smoothness are the best predictors of fall-shuttitude.

[@93tedd]

I know a flat detent, and the sharpness you mention in the video typically means the lockbar requires less tension. It just feels like there should be some change in the lockbar tension as tightening and loosing with the dialable (is that the word) detent, although the opposite of the above perhaps.

[@curtisgoodnight]

The screw only affects lockbar tension when the knife is closed. Once the knife has been opened, the detent post (which is taller than the screw) will be what is in contact with the blade, so the screw has no impact on the closing action.

[@Keen_Edge]

What's that new driver you're using?

[@davidjones943]

love you nick

[@twothreeactual9254]

What if one day, there’s a surprise visit from the in laws; or other family members and they just walk in push the door open and pow the Shabatman disassembling a blue batarang!! They would just freeze in fear. Nick you need a very sharp batarang in your life btw.

[@KEEVER6]

Can the new lock insert/detent be installed on the original version? Are they the same shape or no?

[@totschopper]

Patrick McKeever I've heard, yes

[@jeremycohn182]

They can be, and you can also get the new clip

[@2pink1stink1]

Cool, you can turn it all the way in and have a crappy XM-18. Haha

[@xDarkPrototypex]

Nick, since you got your ring reground a little, are the crazy golden-ratio specifications still there?

[@Keen_Edge]

Le Lemon he got it reground?

[@xDarkPrototypex]

Hayden Nininger He said in multiple videos he sent it back because it didnt fit properly. There are some videos where he wears his silver replacement ring too.

[@mikem4259]

Looks like you kept your mask on through the whole video. Good job bat man!

[@drakelambert1181]

Confirmed, Nick is Bruce Wayne

[@Pew7070]

YES!

[@mythguard6865]

That detent can make the knife illegal in Canada

[@aerosaaber]

Haven't you heard, EVERYTHING is now illegal in California.

[@tracyblanks3064]

Welcome to California Nick & Mrs.Nick love your channel so glad you don’t have Tourette’s when it comes to lefties

[@chadslvrman]

Nick, why is the cutout in the blade for the detent oval shaped as opposed to round? V1 also has that characteristic. Does the set screw fit in that cutout? Is there blade play because of that shape? Thanks

[@NickShabazz]

I don't know that, actually. But I know the Set screw has to, in order for this to function, live outside of the hole.

[@chadslvrman]

Maybe it’s a carryover from V1 which seems to have two ‘half’ detents that are separate from each over.
