OK,
Here are the one's that I can think of that I currently own:
1 RH and 1 LH AFCK
1 Butterfly
2 Panthers
1 Ascent
1 Pinnacle
1 Axis
1 Kuma Zume
1 Nimravus (ATS34)
1 Mini-Nimravus (M-2)
1 Kodiak
And that's all I can remember right now.
NOW! For the problems:
RH AFCK liner has travelled to the right side of the blade.
Same for both of the Panther's.
Axis heat treat is too hard. The blade chips when beveled to <22 degrees.
It's fine now at 25 degrees.
And that pretty much covers it.
This works out to about 1/3 of my stock having "glitches".
Now, on the other hand, the one's that have no problems are truly great knives.
I would not trade my Nimravus' or my Pinnacle for anything.
My Kuma Zume is push knife perfection for me.
And, I must add that my Axis works just fine now that I've brought the edge bevel back to 25 degrees. I'm not too happy about the larger bevel, but it does what I ask of it and the lock design absolutely ROCKS!
Soooo... how's about an M-2 bladed Axis?

So, what IS the speed of dark?
