question about the cyclone

[3mptin3ss]

hi, i recently bought a kershaw cyclone, large one. i really love the knife, however when the knife is in assist mode i can hear a distinct clinking sound coming from the handle of the knife. sounds almost like watch gear or something. is this normal or could my knife be defective? it has worked perfectly fine so far, just wondering if its normal.

i have a blur and it makes a clicky noise when im closing it as the torsion bar engages the blade again on the close. its prolly fine. enjoy!

its sounds more like there is something loose in the handle of the knife. like if i shake it you can hear the clinking sound.

this is when its closed right? if so then it isnt anything to worry about

its when the blade is fully deployed.

its when the blade is fully deployed.

i just checked my blur. it does the same when open. its fine.

hahahahaha i got it backwards in my previous post! :foot:

What he said, when the blade is open the torsion bar moves around just a hair and that is what causes that noise.
