Shame on you for blanket statements. I’ve got a ton of Gen6 knifes with perfect action.My first gen 6 the DLT fullered Spearpoint. I have to say the opening action is incredible but the closing and disengagement of the lockbar is a big down grade from the gen 4. Too much lockbar tension. The lockbar insert improves the knife 0% shoulda left it how it was instead of letting the know nothings influence your work. I’ve yet to feel a lockbar insert that feels as good disengagening as the carbidized hinderers. Fixed a nonexistent perceived issue. Still like though wanna put the nylon washers in but I’m too lazy plus don’t want to find out if these center with no play easily haha. Also noticed a squeaking noise coming from I guess the detent ball

Lol, I'm going through the whole thread tooI read through this entire thread over the past few weeks. The day I started I had ordered a stonewashed skinny sheepsfoot XM-18 3.5. I have that now and have since ordered a stonewashed Ranch Bowie and an investigator pen, which are waiting for the Canadian Boarder Security Agency to release them (both items are legal up here so it's only a matter of time). Can't wait! I am actually a little disappointed to have reached the end of the thread though...
I have to ask, is that black micarta scale from Hinderer or is it a custom job? Edit: Nevermind, I found it on some older post. Looks awesome btw!
I started going in reverse order first, but had a hard time following a few of the conversations, so I started again from the beginningLol, I'm going through the whole thread tooI started from the end and moving to the beginning just starting yesterday. On page 180 right now.

Does anyone know if full ti scales will become available for the skinny’s any time soon?
