Vosteed Ankylo - a closer look at the button

[@vucachon]

There have been a few people who have reached out to me about their button. It seems maybe their button is a little too tall... maybe a QC thing? I have a prototype, so I am not sure if the button has changed or not.
The best is to reach out to Vosteed. In the meantime, here's my Ankylo!

I never in a million years would have dreamed this, but I have the Remette Falcon, and I think it's a better knife than the Vosteed

@rustyshackleford5331 the Peregrine Falcon is amazing. They are very similar! I honestly had no experience with Remette until the Falcon and the Swordfish. Wow! Done so well! I love the Falcon! It's super solid! Completely impressed

@@vucachon you should try the titanium wd-107 from Remette. They use a pretty stiff spring in it, so it has a very satisfying kick when you open it

@@rustyshackleford5331 hmm I may have to check that one out! I heard great things

I like these disassembly videos. BTW those thumbs could use a little lotion.🙂

Those thumbs see action!

Mine is one of the tall spinny button ones. (As Vu knows). I reached out to Vosteed, haven’t heard back …… yet

[@vucachon]

Yeah. Let's see what they say. it seems the button is threaded

[@evile1174]

@@vucachonnot sure how to tighten it though (per your video)

[@vucachon]

@@evile1174 mine is a prototype. I think the productions have threading according to some comments

[@robertfeely8775]

Mine is threaded,it popped off, I put loctite on it and screwed it back on as much as I could

[@vucachon]

Was it still tall and you can see under? I guess my button is different from production

[@rustyshackleford5331]

The button on mine isn't tall and its one from the kick starter​@vucachon

@@rustyshackleford5331 it seems a few have had a tall button issue, but it's not widespread
