Hello forum,
since a few weeks I'm a proud owner of a brand new XM-18 3,5 flipper (CTS-XHP). It has not seen any hard use yet, just some edc'ing.
During some evenings I flipped it open quite a lot. I'd say 100-150 times.
I noticed after a certain number I reach a point where the pivot starts to loosen up a bit and you get some "play" for the pivot, meaning you could push it a little bit to the titanium side or the g10 side.
Please don't get me wrong: I am NOT complaining.
I'm rather interested in getting a few opinions on whether this is usual behaviour or how your xm-18's are holding up when it comes to flipping.
Looking forward to read your thoughts.
Greetings,
Matt
