I bought my XM-24 used about a month ago from the exchange. The first thing that I did after I recieved it was #1 adjust the pivot, and #2 add a drop of Tuf-glide. Smooth as can be right? I thought so!

Today I dismantled the knife and discovered that the previous owner had used some sort of sticky grease (maybe gun grease?) to lube the knife. I cleaned all of the metal parts thoroughly with soapy water and dried them. Next added a light coat of Tuf-Glide to the pivot, and both Teflon washers. Wow what a difference! I thought it was fast and smooth before but now it is like lightning!!! I cant believe what a difference it made to a knife that I thought was perfect. If you bought a used knife definitely take the time to disassemble, clean, and lube your knife.

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. Steel flame is the s**t. I just ordered a carbon fiber frag scale from monkey edge also. I love the olive drab scale but it will be fun to mix it up with the frag once in a while.

Sweet, I'd like to see that once you put it all together, looks good in my mind's eye.

I had OD Green scale on my bronze 24 when I got it. Loved it, but once I saw the Ti....had to have it.

Great thing is there really is no wrong answer when outfitting your XM with official replacement pieces.
