    First! Very nice, I can see why you wanted it. I’d definitely try loosening the detent based on what I see. It seems it should just pop open with the thumb stud. Sorry about the disappointment, that always sucks. I’d switch the blades

    Great clean looking design. My first Real Steel is on its way, the Poltergeist Works designed Terra in 14c28n. Possibly a poor/smart man's PM2 lol. Thanks Gary!

    Glad you got your hands on a grail, buddy. I would agree on Chris Reeve knives, I think they're awesome but I could never justify paying gun prices for a knife. lol Thanks for the look at this one!

      If you all want a Reeve like knife that’s just as good and on bearings get SRM Land 910T2, you can get it for about $150, all Titanium and M390, looks just like a Reeve knife. I have the 820 Ti with VG-10 and it’s amazing quality. I’ll be scooping up the 910 very soon.

  • @BrandonGavin_EDC
    @BrandonGavin_EDC 2 года назад +1

    I love the look of PW knives as well, they look very elegant but simple. Your probably putting too much pressure on the lockbar when your trying to use the studs. Also after a few weeks of breaking it in it will get smooth. I’ve seen many videos of smooth opening action. I wouldn’t worry to much about it right now.

  • @eyesintheskies

  • @Herne0011
    @Herne0011 Год назад +1

    When CRK was originally in production, they were pretty much the only ones doing what they did. Folder fit and finish was very very variable in those days (on even other high end brands) and when you bought a CRK, it was almost a sure thing that it would be built to the tightest tolerances. Have they managed to keep up with the times and remained comparative? Probably not. Their aftercare is still pretty bang on. I like this review though - hats off for paying for the premium model. They did overcharge compared to the Megalodon limited edition but meh whatever. PS - take your finger off the lockbar back right up and hold via the clip and deploy. Your problem should clear right up.

    • @TheLastRanger
      @TheLastRanger  Год назад

      One day I'll own an CRK and see what they're all about. The price and options are always a factor that keeps me away. They seem like the same design but with different options?

  • @Mattisfaction
    @Mattisfaction 2 года назад +2

    Oh Ok. I actually want the fuller one and thats sub 100 bucks you say. So woo hoo! I also enjoy a good lanyard as well! If you sell that fuller one let me know first! With the lanyard.

    • @TheLastRanger
      @TheLastRanger  2 года назад +1

      I actually like the fuller one better than the more expensive grail thumbstud one. lol

  • @groundhog8397
    @groundhog8397 2 года назад +3

    Is there a bur around the detenthole? Or is it too much lochbar presure? Seems something like that. I also had that problems on other knives. Hope you can enjoy your grail in near future. Let me know. Greatings from austria and stay save and healthy......

    Too bad you can't get it to work, Gary. Always fine to get a grail though, so congrats still!
    I don't get the price of Chris Reeves knives either, or any expensive knives like the ones Neeves gave away (I liked them except for the Shirogorov). If they had exquisite carvings or designs, yes, but the relatively plain ones, no. Who knows, maybe as I go further, something might change my mind.

  • @GrumpyGrunt
    @GrumpyGrunt 2 года назад +1

    $90 off?!?! 🤯 I am sorry to hear it is so disappointing. I have that problem with frame locks, but I presume you know that issue. Put a drop of heavy oil in the detent divot? I hope the grail piece is more fulfilling for you. I hope you and the boys are well over there, brother.

  • @jeremyspaulding7735

    This is a beautiful, well-made knife, unfortunately no longer available.
    Lubricate the detent and its path on the blade with technical petroleum jelly, and if that does not help, remove the protection, press the frame lock hard enough to reduce its tension.

    • @TheLastRanger
      @TheLastRanger  2 года назад

      I will take a stab at it sometime down the road. Honestly it get worse with each dissasembly even though I polished the washer and everything. Maybe it the lockbar like you said.

    • @ararmino
      @ararmino 2 года назад

      @@TheLastRanger RUclipsrs are the worst source of knowledge. Polishing the washers is absurd - you just need to twist the pivot loosely. I advise you to start by applying a little lubricant to the detent.
