Spyderco Techno, and Kershaw Zing
[/URL][/IMG]
Had your Zing smoothed out any?
Today.
Thanks! It's pretty much every day for me. I add a modern folder or a fixed blade whenever possible.

Not a whole lot, might be getting a little easier, but still needs some wrist action to get it fully open.
Admittedly I don't flip it enough to get it good and worked in yet.

Spyderco Gayle Bradley today, as well as the tanto and mook as usual... (not in the pic)
Every time I see a Gayle Bradley, I'm that much closer to ordering one. It is SUCH a clean design.

How's the blade centering on it? I ask because when I fixed my centering, it smoothed out a lot.

Thank you, I love this lighter to death. It has definitely brought me back to the land of single-flame torches! I carry it every day, because you never know when the chance to light up a great cigar will come up. That said, man, I need to make sure I wipe down the button before I include it in future pics!

Let me put it this way; this is my second GB and I wish that I'd never gotten rid of the first one...
It's a superb knife in my opinion and the M4 steel is no slouch in terms of cutting performance. :thumbup: Just watch the buy and sell area here - there have been some screaming deals on GB's in the last little while. Most have been right around the $100.00 mark.
:thumbup::thumbup: Awesome price for this knife.

The centering is off toward the non-locking side, or presentation side I guess. But I haven't been able to fix it yet.
I tried tightening pivot first, then screws, but that didn't do anything. I might have to take it apart again and see what I can do with the washers and maybe polish the liners a bit. We will see.

Mine was too. I loosened all the screws and pushed down on the locking side from the top and up on the non locking side from the bottom. Then while maintaining pressure from both directions, I tightened everything down. Then it was perfectly centered and flipped great with no play.

worth a shot. I need to drill some holes for the clip anyway. I didn't get one with the knife, so I am waiting for a reply from Kershaw on a replacement with screws. It would be a good time to try recentering it and looking closer at the pivot. If I get time to play with it this weekend I will report back on my next EDC pic.
Thanks for your help
I also just got a svord peasant friction folder that I am going to attempt scales for. It has some unique challenges, But I hope it turns out well. IDK when those will get done tho.
EDIT: to stay on topic, or rather just add a pic. I picked this SAK up at a Flea Market here locally and it was in surprisingly great shape. tools barely used, blade was very dirty, but cleaned right up. I am very impressed with Alox SAK's, much improvement over plastic.
If anyone can give me some more information on it that would be great. I don't know the model name, or why the red symbol is different. Its a sweet little knife, but I just don't look at SAK's too much so I don't know a lot about them.
