Hi All,
I am new here, so this is my first posting but definitely not my last! Hi there!
For a long time, I have been checking out Darrel Ralph's web site with my eyes mainly on the Madd Maxx series. So far I have never bought any custom knife- I guess it's much because of I want to actually use my knives (for all kinds of stuff including fishing etc)and custom knives cost "a lots of money".
But 2 weeks ago I bought a Cuda Maxx 5.5- and man that's a folder!!! I have checked out 1000's of knives in my life- but have now found the knives design which is exactly what I want- Darrel Ralph's Madd Maxx!!!! So now I will save some money and most probably order one custom made Madd Max from Darrel Ralph.
But I really hope that Camillus is coming out with both a 7 5/8 inch and a 4 inch factory versions- with the dagger blade as an option!!! Because I would buy all of them!
Ok- back to my problem! On my Cuda Maxx 5.5, the lock was firm and had no play in the blade. But after a while I could feel that the blade had a serious play- but I quickly realized that it was fixed by tighten the pivot screw. A "few fliks" later- same problem!:grumpy:
So I thought that this could be fixed with some Liquid Lock-Washer. So I removed the clip, unscrewed the pivot screw- added some Liquid Lock-Washer and put it together again. But even if I took it easy when I tighten the 3 screws on the clip, 2 of the screws lost the grip! So now I can't attach the clip any more!
Ok, I disassembled the whole knife and took a look at the parts. What I found out was that the 3 screws for the clip are all way to short!!! So that explains why my problem! Anyone out there, experienced this problem and have some good advice how I should fix it before I try my own way?
Thanks and Regards,
Jorgen
