The UPS man dropped of my brand new Gen6 SNG on friday. since then, i've been so psyched to use this thing.
But i have some questions.
First off, this thing is stiff!! the action is very stiff and the detent locks down HARD on the blade when it's closed. i can understand the detent part, cause you don't want this thing coming opened unintentionally.
but what do you do about the action? upon inspection, i notice that the ENTIRE blade is bead blasted, including the area around the pivot. i feel like the beadblast finish is going to create a lot of drag and also wear down the ball detent in a jiffy. i'm thinking about field stripping it and polishing all the contact areas. good or bad idea?
but otherwise, this thing is pretty badass. you should hear this thing when it locks open. it snaps with a loud, hollow, "CLUNK!!"
