The elliptical hole for the lockbar's axis is done on purpose, not poor tolerance. The reason, according to Cold Steel, is to allow for self-adjustment. They can get away with the big hole because pressure from the stop pin holds the lockbar in place. Thinking about it, Cold Steel can easily use a weaker spring for the exact same reason. Also, get bigger hands.
Great video nick. I was up in the air about dropping 100$ on this knife. But after checking out both videos on this knife I think I may snag me one. Keep up the good work👍🏼
Pop that black spring out. With a small round file at dead center spot on spring, file 30% away from outermost flat side (not the edge) .....(taking a small circle out of it like a bite.) If your not using this knife for heavy duty, it will make depressing it to unlock it much more pleasant. It does NOT effect the lock up firmness. Much more user friendly. Practice on an older cheaper one, you'll see. But it's quite effective and easy. Thank me in the morning.

Wow! Actually a knife I own for once! (Third time that has happened!)
Powerslave1123 Indeed a paradox! But no, as I was commenting it suddenly occured to me that I also have the Spyderco Tenacious and the Roadie... Hence the afterthought in parenthesis.
They do have one of the most secure locks in the market. But should it be the defining factor for your knife purchases. sometimes we don't even need all that strength
+Patrick Guignot G10 in this thickness and contouring is not to be trifled with. Sure, it’s not a solid chunk of Ti, but it’s absolutely going to take abuse.
You're right...but the "no liners" choice by Cold Steel is somewhat contradictory with their marketing videos. You have to buy a Cold Steel 4-Max to have liners (or buy a custom Demko AD-10).
Liners are heavy, and frankly unnecessary. The knife I carry most the holdout 3 has some rather thin G10 and I have zero concerns, and I do barbaric things to my knives.

Thanks for clarifying. And I'm working on it :)
Overbuilt simplicity. My two favorite words when describing a knife 😅 simple and solid as a rock.
LOVE YOU NICK

With the blade and pivot removed, press down on the lock lever and remove the extra stop pin. That will take the tension off the lever.
Really like this knife, but I feel like it would have been a much better seller as a smaller edc size, and different brand markings..
Nice!
#notabrilliantman = low key legend...🙏🏻
I always find it funny that Cold Steel of all companies barely uses liners ☺
Rodrigo Teresa G10 is some strong stuff!
I'd rather have grivex but with an actual liner....
Where do you get a hardened steel torquebit set?
Can't believe you didn't lube the spring-lockbar interface!

StoråsStudio for once or, for the third time?

What's that torx you're using, Nick ? Mine are stripped naked, well...cheap ones. Yours seems to be holding out nicely.
sj4ca nick uses a wiha bit kit.
I wonder why they use both a teflon washer and also a bronze washer
Have you thinking about getting a fallkniven u2 or the u4
What aftermarket thumbstud can i use?
Hello :)
This kind of folding knife, with no steel liners between blade and g10 , it s robust ? No blade play with years?
These are EXTREMELY solid. I wouldn't worry about strength.
Liners are inconsequential with this much G10 and a Tri-ad lock.
i took the Teflon washers out of my code4, and put in some nano oil... works better imho
Apparently you have a few 'Nasty' viewers 😀
What kind of screwdriver is that? I am looking in update my maintenance kit.
He uses a Wiha Tools kit. I do also, just not the exact one.
Where did you grow up Mr Shabbaz?
What make and model watch are you wearing in this video? Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
My knife came dry from blade hq .
Is Nano oil using new bottles?
Mike they have 3 different sizes. That is the 1/2 ounce bottle
No liners? Sucks
No steel or Titanium liners? Only G10? AMHA we can't say it's "made solidly".

@@TheKillerKlokliners are definitely necessary.. This is a poor man's ad10
