Greetings! Ive been here lurking and learning here for awhile and I have a quick question comparing the feel on my new PSark (BTS/ #47) and the I&I sports Tanto (BTS/#56) Ive been carrying for few months now.
First - thanks to scott475 for the ebay pointer. Id been looking for a Psark for a long time. It worked out well.
The question is mainly in the actions feel and differences in lockup. The Tanto is slippery smooth but locks up way to the left (maybe off the blade) viewed from the bottom. Also, the Tanto folded on me once when it was brand new and gave me quite a start. It has not done it since, but it is absolutely solid, no wobble at all once it locks up. The PSark is a lot draggier if thats a word, and takes a noticeable push to get going but it locks up near the middle. The feel is nowhere near as bad as my old BM CQC7 clone, but noticeably different than the Tanto.
If I loosen the PSark blade bolt to make it feel easier the blade wobbles a bit but it waves better BTW this wave thing is ridiculous! I had hoped it was all a gimmick but it was like click, ohhh thats nice click, try it again click, even the guys I work with were looking at me funny until they tried it, now I have to go look for it when I finish here. Any idea what the record is for waves in a day?
I keep hearing some new models have double detents, any differences there between the two? Could the soft Tanto lockup be the culprit? The PSark is going to be a working/Real user and the wobble sort of bugs me, but if its no biggie Ill just set it where it waves the most reliably for me and smile a lot.
Thanx for all the info you guys have given out, I really feel Ive learned a lot.
