Benchmade Dejavoo Fixed?

[drake225]

Did Benchmade ever fix the liner lock and detent issues on the Dejavoo series?

What issues? The ball is a little weak, but not a significant issue.

Anyways, a few issues from an internet forum probably don't matter when there's thousands of them in the field w/out issues.

I love my mini dejavoo !!! No issues at all here.

I've not heard of any problems. I've had one for some time w/o any problems.

I have two mini Dejavoos, and, although one locks-up a bit better than the other, I haven't had any issues either.

I have had 2 dejavoos and they are both gone. They are really good knives for the money they are asking though, and that is rare now and days for benchmade. Anyhow, the only reason I got rid of them was because they are a tad fat in the pocket (the handle is rounded and gets pretty thick), and the liner lock was not very strong, or maybe not that, but there was just not enough tension in the liner lock. Seems like it needs to be bent a bit more to engage strongly. I put a piece of paper in between the liner lock and the frame and it gave it the tension I was looking for.

I also did this a few months ago on my 740 and not only does it lock up rock solid now but the blade is securely held when closed. It's an amazing fix and as simple as it gets.
