Gets an axis lock knife that can be assembled almost as a regular liner lock (because if the two part lock bar)... Proceeds to go the hard way and assembles it like a regular axis lock. Nick, you are truly a gem.
Thank you. I have this knife and don’t like it. I lubricated and adjusted it. My problems are its very ergonomic, the river lock action is extremely fast, and blade grind is way way too sharp. On a scale of from bad to great 1 to 10, I’d probably rank the quality of this knife at no more than 20-25.
What is the double sided alignment punch sort of thing you use to push out the pivot and for lining up the washers? I know you hate answering tool questions constantly, but I couldn't find anything about it in your toolkit video or Amazon page.
A quick word on WHY loctite is not recommended for the back screws? I get it...not connected to moving parts, so it's not critical to loctite them. But you implied that it was a really BAD thing. Just not sure why....
from what I recall seeing, it looks like they are screwing into an insert or sleeve in the G10. If you locktite the screw, it may create too much resistance that may break whatever adhesive they are using to keep the barrel in place. At that point. you would have a free spinning screw which is a pain to deal with when dissasembling. This would be my best guess
Just the opinion of one jackass here, but I really don't get the fascination companies have with the axis lock. There have been so many reports of omega springs breaking over the years that it feels like you're just setting yourself up for failure when you decide to use it. Spyderco and others seem to have solved the core issue with coil springs, and even Benchmade did it on the Anthem, sooooo why? I've also had a small griptilian open in my pocket due to the springs not providing enough force to keep the knife closed while jogging. Should I be jogging with an axis lock knife in my pocket? Probably not, but I didn't know that at the time. TRM most certainly will have done a better job than pretty much anyone else that's tried it, but they're still just doing the best they can with an inherently flawed system. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I was screaming at him myself.
Excited to see this one! Thanks for tearing it down and proving lots of luuv!
Thanks Nick. This one is on the list for sure . Maybe the best of the axis locks .

I like this one better than the others in the line.
Thanks for this video.. just got a grey model.. Will probably die the scales sooner than later
I just did this now and have gotten stuck putting back together. the construction is different now
Been waiting for a while for this video. Thanks!
James Brand Carter also has a sliding bar that can be taken apart.

Where do you get the little tools that you put the pivot in with
Third? Wow. Thanks Nick!
Nice 👍👍👍
Iv used fingernail polish or Elmer's school glue on threads before , just a dot .
I'd like to see Mike Rowe try customer service without anyone knowing he's the one taking the call, maybe a voice changer just to be safe 😂
I'll have you know forklift certification is not a meme, but a lifestyle. And a pathway to many abilities some may consider to be... unnatural...

It's because you won't be able to remove without stripping the threads. It can be loctited but not unloctited :)
I forgot about Mike Rowe.
21:38 *a little bit more gronk*
I actually hate the part trying to get the washers back in there
We don't do it this way. We'll post our methods at some point.

Omega spring breaks knife is useless?
Looks kinda like a mini Loco
Who cares about a knife no one can get?
Me😂
Thumbs up if don't care for the axis lock and all it's posers. 👌
Three rivers out of stock knife company. Pass.
Their strategy must be: make a decent knife, keep them out of stock, mark up the price for the "exclusivity".
So not true. I've made a lengthier comment in Nick's review.
@@mariannehalpern5488 what is so not true.....Thank you for the reply. Stay well
@@thomaswalsh5097 Sorry Thomas. That was a reply to Steve Gagnon regarding our business plan.
@@mariannehalpern5488 no problem. I hope everything works out.
