Benchmade Skirmish clip position?

scholar warrior · May 27, 2005

I've done a search but I haven't seen if the clip on the skirmish is set up to be moved to tip up? Anyone know?

Nope just tip down.

yea, id like to see it tip up also. ive ziptied mine but i cant carry it with the pocket clip if i want to wave it :grumpy:

id also like to see it in axis lock, the current lock is killer on your fingers.

Good lord! Mine couldn't possibly be any easier to open and close.What's wrong with your lock?

As the guys said [KaBar].., you may want to have BM take a look if it's that tough to operate the knife.

I've never seen one that was tough at all so far....

at the time the knife wasent broken in, what was killer on my fingers was releasing the lock. sence i use my knife alot, several 100 times a day, after the first two days i lost the skin on the end of my thumb. oddly enough i woke up today and after one or two flicks it broke in. happined like a light switch really.

It's a Ti framelock, you just need to break it in. It doesn't take long.

That, or you could just get one of the many knives they offer with the axis lock.
