Wow - they look great!! So tempted now!!

...and I see them in stock on some online dealers finally!
 
Really tempted to pick one of these up. I wonder if the Reviewer was able to resolve the blade-play issues he noticed when the blade was in the closed position?
 
Pretty disappointed in the review findings. Was hoping for very tight tolerances and NO bearings. I guess i missed that bit of info regarding bearings in the product description. Bearings are an unnecessary gimmick in my opinion, was praying this would be the axis equivalent of a Sebenza. I'll be passing on this one.
 
I wish that they would not have used bearings as well. My 940 is buttery smooth on washers.

I have absolutely no blade play issues with mine, open or closed.

Is yours able to drop shut (or at least until the axis kicks in ~75% of the way down)?

I know with all my axis knives they can have no play if adjusted properly, however, at the expense of being able to fall shut. Sometimes a sweet spot can be found and sometimes it can't!

Thanks!
 
Will have one in hand tomorrow.......I have only tracked it once!! Every 2 minutes!!
Ugh!
 
Mine arrives tomorrow as well. Looking forward
 
I'm glad they used a BB pivot on this one!
It has AMAZING action, free dropper right out of the box, no play at all and damn, it is sharp!
The action reminds me of the 761 action......smooth and fast!
BM did an amazing job on this bad boy!!

Got mine yesterday, and I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed. Action was smooth, but the blade was off-center in the pocket clip did not even touch the handle. I guess light is good for pocket folders but this one seemed a little bit too light. When operating the axis lock it felt and sounded tinky. Probably just the new spring design. It seems more of an $300 knife. I sent it back.
