hi - got my SIFU last wed and while i really like it, it didnt flick open as easily as i like - this is a touchy area as if ya get it tooooo loose it seems like it could open up in your pocket ........not good....
i put some white lighting on the pivot and its like night and day - have used WL on all my knives and never as dramatic a diff as w/this knife - now its PERFECT - i couldnt believe a few drops of a lub could make a diff like this - still no probs w/it opening up on me, but flicks open like a diff knife i am very impressed -and i have been using WL on my bike chain and other stuff for over 2+ yrs and have never seen it make such a diff
now, my SIFU is perfect really - it is now officially my EDC knife replacing my BM AFCK which, until now, i thought was irreplaceable - wow what can i say? i depend on it, along w/my Glock 33 to defend me and my family - i cant give higher praise......
what can i say?? REKAT RULES the knife world IMHO........glad i joined the club - i cant believe people in the spyderco forum argue that the matriarch and civvy are better tactical knives -BS - they are just parroting spydercos opinion IMHO - i have a SIFU and a Mat and if i had to choose 1 if the chips were down, would take the SIFU no questions asked - its kinda the .45ACP of the knife world IMHO - i cant belive that if ya could handle both, ya would choose ANYTHING over the SIFU.......they talk about the magical slicing ability of the mat, let me tell ya the SIFU can do some slicing too - NO WAY i would choose the mat, civvy, harpy, etc over the SIFU - best damn fightin knife there is bar none IMHO........
i'm a believer..........
