The Blink is a great little knife - and it is FAST. It was an un-expected surprise to find at the rep's day at SMKW. Being a lefty, this was a GREAT find! I also got to talk with Spencer Frazer for quite a while as well, before the crowds arrived. In fact, if he hadn't pulled a Blink out of his pocket to show me, I wouldn't have even known about it.
This is one very well-built little knife. With the lock and the safety, I wouldn't hesitate to put some serious pressure on it. The finish is first rate, hairs did pop, and it just feels good in my hand. Bottom line is that this is a classy-looking little knife that could pull some serious duty if pressed. Actually, it's a darn near perfect money clip. For it to be perfect, though, it would 1) be BG-42, and 2) automatically re-fill with money when it runs out!
As long as #2 can't be solved, though, #1 really isn't a problem, either. For the $, the Blink has got to be a best buy.
I am having a bit of a problem, though. I've reversed the clip to the other side, but the clip is moving around a little (back and forth, perpendicular to the long axis of the knife). The screw isn't loose though. I've got a new T6 bit, so it's not worn down, but it doesn't seem to quite fit. I'm afraid to torque down on it much since the bit doesn't fit tightly and it's a small screw. Any suggestions? Or is this something other than a Torx?
Spencer - Thanks again for signing my Blink early this morning! I can't believe I didn't get the Flash I or the BG-42 fixed blade (X-42 Recondo?) you showed me, especially after our lengthy discussion. This may have been my first SOG, but it won't be my last. Knowing me, I may head back up to Sevierville tomorrow morning. As I said this morning, I hope the trip to East Tennessee was worth it. It's not Blade Show, nor Shot Show, but there's always a great crowd. And we do appreciate having the reps come in.
