That lock stick is a deal breaker maybe some lighter springs i cut up rc internal shock spring when i lost one maybe it would help ..but gonna wait for a sale dont want to work 2 hr on a new blade lol nice job on the video 👌
I just got one and I noticed the button kinda wedges into the indentation where it locks into. I think I'm fine with that, but what I'd like to change is the thumb studs. Can those be changed?
If that's rosewood you can tape some fine grit sandpaper to a piece of picture frame glass, rub the back of the wood panels on it a few times, take a couple thousandths off and then they'll fit the frame perfect! Or…you may not care because its a 50 dollar knife 😂

The pitch black handled one is the Ebony. Yours appears to be the lighter one, which is Rosewood. Any acoustic guitar player can tell ya that. lol Thanks for the vid. This was my first knife, and the action is a little tight, as yours was. Thanks again.

Have the same issue with mine, CJRB sent me replacement parts which really didn't help. Suspect the spring is just too stiff..still can't reverse flick Will be sticking to We/Civivi from now on.
hope you do a disassembly on the Mr Mr Designs Phantom
That one was a loaner so i couldn’t sorry. Should be straightforward though if you watch my pony stout disassembly it should be similar
That lock stick is a deal breaker maybe some lighter springs i cut up rc internal shock spring when i lost one maybe it would help ..but gonna wait for a sale dont want to work 2 hr on a new blade lol nice job on the video 👌
I just got one and I noticed the button kinda wedges into the indentation where it locks into. I think I'm fine with that, but what I'd like to change is the thumb studs. Can those be changed?
Sure that should be easy.
More balls = Better knife I need to buy more skiffs
If that's rosewood you can tape some fine grit sandpaper to a piece of picture frame glass, rub the back of the wood panels on it a few times, take a couple thousandths off and then they'll fit the frame perfect!
Or…you may not care because its a 50 dollar knife 😂
Ten extra balls?!!! You might wanna get that checked out 🤔🤣
Better than it was
🤫🤔
