Cruwear Military Owners

Is flicking a knife open that important?

These millies are not designed to be flippers. They are long life , lightweight, high strength spyder hole opening cutters. The Southard is a flipper. It's designed for it. I personally wouldn't want that millie just about falling open. It's a scary thought.
 
I also got my cru-wear millie yesterday in the mail and I must say that it is the hardest knife to open that I have ever had.

That is a very, very strange millie indeed then. Send it back to see if it's a defect. I can't imagine it being "the hardest knife to open that I have ever had" unless it was deliberately sabotaged or your experience with knives is extremely, unusually small.

Unless this is just just histrionic or over exaggerated behavior in your description. Perhaps someone epoxied the knifes internals and gave it to you, or you really tightened it down and gummed it up with super glue instead of locktite. Anythings possible I suppose.

Contact Spyderco W&R. They will want to see that.

If i were to return it I would spend the extra $ to get a Southard. Taichung >>> Golden! Thoughts?

Yeah, you had buyers remorse, fiddled with it and got it wrong and now want out. Close?

It's fine now that I have been using it and breaking it in. The day I got it though the detent ball was rubbing on the tang with a good amount of pressure.
 
I got two - one was a little stiff opening, but nothing that a little use won't take care of. For whatever minor interest it may be, the date codes on the two differ. One is September, one October.
 
In a post some time ago on the Spyderco forum Mr. Janich recommended putting a small amount of a lightweight grease like lubriplate on the detent ball. I find using a toothpick works well.
