ChazzyP my Hati is in S30V steel as seen above. Curious what you found in the WTT and hope you were able to make a deal.

Congrats on the new bear! The hation is the smaller size, like a neon. The hati is more f95 size as you seeHati landed!
I will follow up this weekend with more cogent thoughts - but, my first reaction out of the box is "Holy Shiro! What a knife!"
I had it in mind that the Hati was about 3 3/8 - 3 1/2" blade. Did not realize it was the full 3 3/4" (95mm) length. I am ok with this, but was imagining a slightly smaller knife (maybe would have preferred... but who's to say, now?).
Gosh darn smooth knife, though.
Congrats on the new bear! The hation is the smaller size, like a neon. The hati is more f95 size as you see. It is a very useful shape for a larger blade and still slicy. Just look at it this way now you have an excuse to get a “more edc friendly” blade in a hation zero.

Wow. Hopefully they only used blue Loctite and not red. That heat should have been enough to break down blue.Ok. Need some help here. Can't get my Doctor Death apart. 5 minutes with the hair dryer blowing on the pivot screw full power. Screw is so hot I can barely hold my thumb on it and all I have is a destroyed penny!
Tried putting side tension and every other idea I read here. Now what? Thumbs are sore and knife is still together! Do I dare trying my mini torch? Don't want to hurt the knife.
