Shipping noticed received today! Five days from SA to USA, which is also less than some shipments I've had from CA to FL.

Wow. That is remarkable. All the best. Such excitement. I sent mine back to get stone washed.
 
I’ve been practicing (fidgeting 😉) my slow roll with both hands. Left hand is much easier while right hand sometimes fails due to pressure on the detent. Easiest is to start the blade open with the tab then slow roll the rest of the way.

Flipping action is excellent, especially considering I had them install washers instead of bearings. Of course, they included the bearings as well, in the box.
 
opportunity has finally sent the chance my way to snag one of these the other day, i am fairly curious as well since its non-thumb studded. it was the non flipper version which i prefer because how many titanium framelock flippers does one need (never carried the one I bought first so I guess just one 😂) theres more purchase than the mnandi right?

Hello all.
I'm seriously considering purchasing a non-flipper iMamba on washers.
Just ot a fan of flipper knives.
I was wondering how easy it is to either thumb flick or thumb roll the blade open.
My middle finger just isn't strong enough to do the Spydie flick.
Also wondering if anybody could speak to the edge holding of the RWL34 steel.
Thanks all

I have a skelotonized Imamba.The spydie flick and flipper tab work great but I have a hard time opening it with the thumb hole flick. I would get the flipper version again for this reason.

What do you put it down to? Is it on washers or bearings?
 
I think it puts more pressure on the detent ball. I can thumb open easier with my left than my right hand. Left hand opening pushes away from the detent.
 
If you have a flipper model the detent is tuned for that at the factory. Non flipper models should have a slightly softer detent.

I missed the part where you said you wanted one on washers, mine is on bearings, that could make a big difference.

I'm not sure what you mean by "what do you put it down to"

"What do you put it down to?" is a British-English expression meaning, "What do you think the reason is that caused the problem?".
