Random knife questions

[Joseph Bandeko]

Hello,
I got a couple questions, 1) about Hinderer 2) about Benchmade.

How much does the detent strength vary through Hinderer models? Or even through the same model? (I’ve only handled a few and they seem to be a little on the weak side, though I do prefer a rather strong detent)

Also does Benchmade use titanium for the lock bar on all of there axis lock models? Or is it just the bugout that has ti?

Don’t know about Benchmade.

For the Hinderer XM18, early Gen 4 and older have weak detents, to the point that flicking is difficult, they got better with late Gen4 and strong with Gen5 and 6. Many Gen6 out of the box detents are too strong to use the thumbstud.

From my understanding the Bugout is the only one that has a Ti axis lockbar. I don't know about the last couple folders they've released like the Tagged Out and other grivory handled knife (can't remember the name).
