This is by far one of the best knife review I've seen. Rather than focus on the eye-appeal and fidget factor, you actually identified physical internal causes of problems. Appreciate the FULL analysis!!!
Thanks for the honest review. I was really looking forward to getting one of these but now I'm not so sure. Seems to be hit or miss, but even at the low price point issues like this are unacceptable. Hopefully they'll release an updated version with tighter tolerances and better QC. Subbed.
Have the same knife, color, everything-haven’t encountered any of the issues mentioned; think you just got a bad one. My first Vosteed failed with a simple spine whack-but others did not have the issue. It happens.
I am so glad someone made a video showing the flaws of this knife. I have the same problems as you do, only my blade is much further off centered and no matter what I do I can not center it. Mine does not have up and down play, but some noticeable side to side blade play.
I have one and it has none of those issues. No blade play in any direction, It locks up rock solid, and is perfectly centered. Has stayed centered for the month I've had it. I don't know how yours got by their qc, but I'd send it back.
I have done that with blue locktite. The tolerance on the pivot and collar is too low and it seems to loosen even with locktite. I let it cure. Started loosening on the second day.
@Dan - Andrei Vladut sorry to hear that...really sucks. I am having similar pivot issues with a CJRB PYRITE I recently picked up...blue locktite just doesn't hold the pivotvin place
Knife with lock bar will always be centered unless it poorly made from factory. There is no lock bar pushing against the side of the blade like a liner lock knife. It is a good honest review anyway. Thanks.
Yeah you just happened to get a bad one apparently not inspected by QC. I have 4 Moyarls and none of them have any of the issues you mention (no burr, no huge detent or pivot hole, no wrong size screws, no blade play, etc…). That’s unfortunate for you. Send it back with your concerns and they’ll send you a good one I promise.
The huge detent was a positive. But yes, It has been sent back. I'll look into the CJRB Ekko first but may return to the Moyarl eventually. Thanks for watching.
I had this knife and when I held it in hammer grip abd put pressure on the back of the blade the liner lock failed. I may have forever a bad one. Have you heard of this
I have similar issues with an Akri. Pivot loosens and stop pin rattles around because its undersized. Pin is also battered so that raises concerns about hardness. Took months to get Miguron to send me a replacement stop pin but when it finally arrived it was the wrong pin :( Still, nice knives for the money and they'll hopefully improve with later production.
Hmmm… my copy has no blade play, the blade is perfectly centered, fit&finish is great. Fantastic knife for that price. Perhaps you should check another copy.
Got one + a replacement for the first one and both have issues. Lock rock on the first one and terrible lock rock on the second one. To fix it I have to bend the lock bar over and it put it at pretty much 100% lockup so it will wear out quickly. This knife is a combo of what happens when big youtubers praise a knife so everyone flocks to buy it and it being out of stock everywhere makes people want it even more. I bought mine a month ago and they are still having QC issues on them. Two for two had serious issues I won't give them a 3rd chance.
,,, Making a great knife even better is not a bad thing. So good to see/hear someone question a much raved knife and introduce a possible alternative. You wouldn't be working for "CMB" would you? LOL!
Love mine have none of the issues you have had bought a lot knives the last 6 months and it's my favorite for the price. Sorry yours did not turn out for you.
Naw naw naw bro.. I'm sorry but you just got a funky knife, just send it back and get a new one. I promise you that you love it cuz that is not what's going on with 99.99% of these knives only with yours for some reason I have 2 they are amazing I've disassembled them the detent is perfect especially the black with blue TI clip but your version is just as solid. Please don't judge the knife before you have handled a quality controlled knife. All pivots play and roll out if you fidget locktite bro.. good luck 🤙✌️
Well... Mine had the QC pass sticker on it. Every product they send out matters. I understand it's a fluke, but they sold it. I did send it back. I think it does have a design flaw and that's because the bearings are so small. The cage is very narrow and provides less than adequate support. I am pretty convinced that over time more examples will start looking like mine because of it. My predator has been abused and still performs. So I'm not going to buy another moyarl.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate the compliment.
Just got one couple of days ago. None of these issues. You might have got a lemon. Did you try returning it?

Tha ks for watching! That's my hope too. Like I said in the video, tons of potential on this one.
Everyone but you loves it….

Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching.
Mine arrives tomorrow...fingers crossed. Are you going to try locktite on the pivot?
I have done that with blue locktite. The tolerance on the pivot and collar is too low and it seems to loosen even with locktite. I let it cure. Started loosening on the second day.
A lot of people are praising the knife. Good luck.

Did your knife come in? How is it?
@Dan - Andrei Vladut yes, I got it Sat. No issues with mine thus far, and it is breaking in nicely. It is somewhat blocky as reviewers have mentioned.
Love the honesty of this video thank you
Thanks for watching.
My Moyarl is well-centered and also has zero up-down or side play - all good. Perhaps you got a „Monday model“.

Thanks for the info I would send it back.
I did. We'll see what comes to replace it.

Lol... Not even close. Thanks for watching.
Love mine have none of the issues you have had bought a lot knives the last 6 months and it's my favorite for the price. Sorry yours did not turn out for you.
Thanks for watching. That's the sad thing about budget knives. There is no incentive to have really careful QC.
Well I think there is an incentive. It’s to continue to sell knives. Even if there $46. You won’t continue to sell them if QC not there. My two cents
Nice CMB Predator in the back 💯
It's a lovely knife .. and a great company making a good budget knifes. All my Miguron knifes works great.. and look at all the other tests
too clunky,I bought one they need a lot more refinement
Thanks for watching. I hope they figure it out. They have some special designs i think.
I got a pagos,very good.
Love mine, great budget knife 100%
Naw naw naw bro.. I'm sorry but you just got a funky knife, just send it back and get a new one.

But thanks for watching. The whole point is to promote discussion and inform each other about the product.
@@DanAndreiVladut agreed I understand completely, to each there own. Hope it works out for you brother. Peace & Respect ✌️
I returned my cmb. Hated the ergos.
