I bought the BM Vex and I am vexed. Opening that knife is a thumb blistering straining experience. It is the hardest opening knife I have by far. Loosening the pivot does not seem to help and causes blade play. I lubed it with Miltec and it had no effect. The funky tip down only clip does not thrill me either.
I do like the hand gripping handle and the flat ground blade a lot. The massively strong liner lock is excellent too but every time I open the blade my thumb gets severely abused. I have opened and closed it a thousand times with little or no improvement. This knife could be excellent with a few changes.
