Benchmade 470-1 Axis lock question

[scubahoundnc]

For those of you who have a 470-1 can you move the axis lock with one finger? Or do you have to use both fingers?

Also on the locking mechanism is switched to the locked position, is this normal?




I can move my 940 axis lock freely with on finger and I was just wondering if I need to send my 470-1 for warranty work.

Depends on the strength of your fingers, honestly. Not being able to actuate the AXIS lock with one finger isn't a warranty issue, it seems more like a preference. The genius of the AXIS lock isn't that it can or should be operated with one finger, but that it can be accessed ambidextrously.

My 470-1 never had a sagging tip issue like that, no matter locked or not. I'd send that back to them for some love.
