There you have it gentlemen. Brad Southard's work. That's an AWT on top, a Daws in the middle, and a Trot on the bottom. I've got a prototype JRT as well, but just haven't taken pictures yet.

No problem with bladeplay on either my Benchmade 940 or 943. You should get one.

Oh man, Now I will have to. That has been on my list of wants for awhile. I just wish I could find a red handled one.

I have 2 BM 940 Osbornes. As with 99% of axis lock knives mde by BM, there's a sweet spot in the pivot screw that allows for free movement while allowing for no blade play. Guys use teflon plumber's tape or blue lock-tite to dial the pivot in to that sweet spot.
In the end I've always allowed for a miniscule amt. of blade play - just nothing excessive. If I hold the tips on my axis lock knives and give the tip of he handle a stiff side to side wiggle, I always feel just a little movement but nothing much.

Thats ok with me. I just dont like wiggle at the base of the blade near the handle. I kinda always thought that the wiggle near the tip was more blade flexing anyway.I have 2 BM 940 Osbornes.

No blade play and no pivot adjustment needed on mine. You may want to reprofile the edge right out of the box though... nice knife! :thumbup:

I really like these. They get carried most often.
There's a lot of knives on my want list but not enough money.
What is the top fixed blade? Custom?
