Hey BF

For Sale. PayPal Family and friends. Please PM all questions/offers. Ships USPS.


1. CKF Gnome #425. LNIB $625. Comes with all packaging/swag, COA, spare hardware, etc.

2. Bernard Imamba Titanium on bearings. $375. Calling it lightly used because of some snail trails on the Ti but it is unused. The factory edge is hair popping sharp.

Thanks for your time.
 
Do the cutout versions come with the improved detent? Or is there a separate run with cutouts & improved detent? How to identify?
By cutouts…are you referring to the various inlays? Models with inlays have been available since the beginning.

Personally, I think that the complaints about the detent are overstated. The detent is light for the flipper but it is perfect to finger flick it.

My understanding is that the biggest change from the 1st batch to the proceeding batches was the switch from pivots running on washers or loose bearing to caged bearings. I wasn’t following all that closely to the developments since I already had one though.

I’m not saying they didn’t tune the detent in the proceeding batches…as that was one of the biggest gripes I’m sure they addressed it.

My point is that if your preferred deployment method for the Imamba is to finger flick it…the detent is perfect. If you are an old school tab flipper…it is a bit light, but deploys 99% time with a light switch flick.

by cutout I mean the blade cutout (hole)

The OG run has the cutout too. That is what I was referring too for the spydie flick.

The OG models the cutout is polished like the rest of the blade. On the newer models the cut out has a different finish than the polished finish on the blade.
