Honestly no, I believe the only way to do anything would be get some replacement omega springs that are tighter retention

I would also say possibly tightening your pivot could make a change if it is loose or has blade play

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 Do you have a link for tightest omega springs because I tightened the pivot all the way and still the same thing

@@Pono324 Look what I found on Etsy:

Taking it a Day at a time😂

So the carbon fiber scales I bought were from VotixEDC and although the quality is there, the fit is off, mine actually has a fair bit of side to side blade play

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 Ohh. Thanks for your feedback.

I could not agree with you more. I am a California resident and although legal in my county, carrying a big knife is definitely frowned upon. I could definitely use a 7.5-8’ version of this guy

Agree. Although I like the MSI, it feels overly large in my small hands.

VotixEDC but I will say, these scales for me have a little blade play and they do take a long time to get back to you and take a long time to ship. I haven’t seen a lot of people with these complaints but this was my experience with them!

And the Microtech ram locks are the same way as the Manix

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 not really. The Manix uses a ball bearing. The ram lock is more akin to an axis lock that uses a coil spring. It is also not as secure. It has shown to fail a spine wack test which the Manix lock handled with no issues on the CBRx TH-cam channel.

@@BrandonMeyer1641 they did do a total redesign on the lock that has been with standing the spine wack test, both my MSI and Amphibian have withstood the same tests I do with my compression lock, shark locks, and tri ad lock. I do know that it was a big problem tho in the past, I just havent seen the problem with my models that have the updated system

lol you are not wrong

It is always going to be regarded as a top tier knife. The reason in today’s age it doesn’t seem to get its flowers as much as it used to is because benchmades pricing as well as dodgy politics in recent years. I will say the axis lock is an extremely strong lock, where things begin to get questioned is omega spring strength, I’ve broken one in the past and that will always be a cause for concern for all crossbar style locks

The only other variation I have rn is a knife center exclusive in cru-wear. It is an insane knife

It is within the realm of possibility haha

My channel budget: 💩 haha

I actually didn’t even think of that myself!

Haha, I mean I do get your point, I will say a counter argument would be this is a special edition they’re only gonna do one run of. I think it’s definitely gonna come down to what your perspective would be on it, I would personally just say I like keeping the special edition clean and special none the less

@cheaperthanyouthink2646 sorry if I word harsh my apologies. I do understand some knives are hard to come by know a day's or nights ? Like I have a large banter I box that knife because it's to dam awesome for my to go through life events with it till I get a back up ? But it is scared up and used. But I also think pay more then 200$ pocket it use it ! Back it up if you can.thought I lost my mad tanto right away bought another one found the MIA now I got a back up ? If it's good back it up ! What do gun people live by ? Better to have two then to loose one and be unarmed ? Sorry those are my words.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of the pivot. Factory can make it overly tight or loose. With these models I believe it’s the washer system, they’re both on phosphor bronze washers but one is bronze on steel liners whilst the other is bronze on frn which will make the knife run smoother. It’s the same with the pm3 and the pm3 light weight.

One of my favorite users fs, new handles made the knife incredible to use

So this video was made not soon after I had picked this knife up and the detent was relatively stiff for the first few weeks I had it, hence the aggressive flick haha. I can promise it’s a lot better 2 years later

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 happy to read it got better over time. It sure is a great knive...

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 glad to read it got better, the PM2 is a great knife for sure..

As important to me as the first 🫡

I understand these terms😔

I can’t help but love both steals because they both are wildly good with edge retention.

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 Rgr that 👍🏻

I’ve had this knife for 2 years now and it gets used haha

😐 get out of here

Definitivamente me gusta más el aspecto

I have the native 5 lw in Rex 45 non coated. Absolutely love it haha

Ah man, M390 and carbon fiber grip is insane haha. I appreciate it tho, I’m still acclimating to reviewing again obviously with how long these are I really need to start cutting to the chase haha. I just got an MSI and I literally cannot put it down

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 the msi is next on my list it looks like a beast .

Well originally I read on the page the company didn’t do refunds

@@cheaperthanyouthink2646 Yea, but they literally committed a crime. Amazon needs to refund you the money. You should also report the seller as fraud. If the seller and amazon will not refund you, go to your bank and have them charge back due to fraud.

I may just have delicate calloused hands haha

@rthanyouthink2646 hahaha. While I did find it odd, I'm not trying to emasculate you in any way just to be clear. If it's not comfortable for you, then it isn't! Peace and love breh and thanks for the video. Really excited that these are probably going to all move to screws instead of pins. i'm definitely gonna get one when I have some more money, just don't know what steal yet.

@@jojojaykay I worked construction for a good long while there so I’m not stranger to laughing at myself for being nitpicky haha. I always appreciate the comments brotha, well worth the buy.

It’s a perfect mix of looks and practicality

In all honesty, I’m not 100% sure because I’ve seen a lot of sources say they’re very similar but I’ve also seen a handful of sources that have said that 15 v does have better edge retention

Really depends on what you use your blade for

Thank you very much

This was about a year ago for me when I bought this and I’ll admit money was very tight. I was paying for school, living, groceries, gas, all the stuff that put a recent adult (me) in a tight spot when buying knives. Funny enough that’s why my channel name is cheaper than you think, when I started the channel had barely any money for knives haha. I would never do this now that I’m a little more financially secure but when Amazon dropped this guy bellow $200 I chanced it and unfortunately lost the chance haha

I bought my first couple spyderco's from Amazon when I started knife collecting because I didn't know there were websites that sell knives. I also didn't know knife scams were a thing. That's probably why the majority of people would buy from Amazon.

@@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743 that’s exactly right, I was the same way

It’s worth it fs

If you can grab an exclusive or the s110v version. They have the skeletonized liners.👋
