Hey there! I also just got an unmilled batch 2 of these, & the detent was extremely light on mine. I don't know how the previous owner could deal with that, maybe that's why they sold it in the first place, haha. But I was able to bend my lock bar over quite a good bit, & now there's about the same mild lockstick as before (improved with a bit of Sharpie on the lock face), but the detent is SO much better. I honestly feel like the detent could be even tighter yet, but it's good enough where it stands I'll quit while I'm ahead. But yeah just thought I'd mention I had no issues whatsoever with tighening the lock bar by probably 40% from when I received the knife. Thanks for the info!
Not yet, but he assured me not to worry and that he would refund the money as soon as possible. The website doesn't allow the refund option yet because they say it's still on its way. I have to wait a few days for them to process the information that the package is missing. I spoke to the sender the day before yesterday, so it will take some time for something to happen.
@@SteelAddicted Around November 12. It was strange that the package hadn't moved since then, so I wrote to the seller. I don't think it's their fault, I just feel bad that I have to wait for the next Drop.
Got my blue nature grip in today! Literally got the very last one available. It was so good that I just ordered two more from the newest batch with the grey hardware. One in silver nature grip and the other in grey stonewash. Really impressed with it!!
I told u it's crazy how nice it is right. I was blown away and still kinda am. I've tried to get my daughter to sell me her blue ano nature grip cuz it's as good as mine, but she want part with it lol. Apex should get the knives I sent Tom I hope I dont eat my words about the hrc but I swear it's on par with my kizers in 154 imo.
@@FerretChloride I meant to tell u to I wrote a comment telling people about ur Rosie fosie video in my fosie review video I hope u didn’t mind. U will have to tell me how the new ones feel compared to the blue ano. U got lucky to snag one of those I thought they had been sold out for a min. I honestly don’t see how the real one could be much better. But maybe I’m just wanting to think that.
@@SteelAddicted lol good luck getting that one back 🤣 it’s so smooth. Love the way it feels in hand. but if it’s really 60 HRC I’ll be seriously impressed. I’ve been beating on the Fosie for the last week and it’s still gliding like a champ. Then about ten passes on the strop and it’s good as new. And thanks for spreading the word! That means a lot! That’s my first time trying to talk on camera so there’s gonna be a learning curve lol. But yeah dude I can tell you it’s gonna be wayy too damn close in quality for that 1000$ price tag difference. Like I’m looking for sweet looking knives that I can actually use without feeling like I’ve just destroyed a huge investment. These fill that gap quite nicely
@@FerretChloride I agree completely it’s the main reason I end up carrying the spk so much or the Rosie or mcnees clone I love my divos and deville but one drop on the concrete and I might shed a tear or 2. All 3 of those clones equal one of the divos lol. U should try the mcnees it’s super nice as well. I’m really eyeing that spartan harsey plague doctor it looks so good and the action looks to be as good as the spk from the videos I’ve seen on Reddit. U think the hrc will be at least 58-59? that’s my guess. I saw on Reddit where a guy said he tested his fosie and it was a 58.8 but u know how that goes people love to blow smoke.
@@FerretChloride and no problem about spreading the word I felt like it was odd that I couldn’t find any videos about these clones on RUclips especially after seeing how good they r made. Or at least the jufule lemifshe and green thorns from what I’ve handled and I only took the chance on them after reading Reddit glad I did. Also I meant to say I liked ur Rosie video a lot I thought u did a really good job. I think u should make more I enjoy hearing other people’s opinions about a knife. I don’t really want to see specs or any of that I just want to hear what u think about the knife u know lol.

The new batch of Rosie's should be available on 1/2/2025, which is from the horses mouth.
Good to hear that.
I have ordered the bath 1, but it is lost on the way 😢
@ did he refund u?
