Nice video I have the same knife. It's a fun knife and very durable (i've dropped it on concrete before, it holds up fine) but you need to loctite the screws or after flipping it for a while they will come loose. Medium strength loctite works fine
I HAVE THAT KNIFE!! its ok but kinda heavy and im used to having a belt clip so orientate the bite handle from the safe handle lol but so far its VERY durable.....
I bought a bunch a long time ago from Knifekits for my typhoon and others. The middle hole is a little large and the washers wiggle because the the twists pivots arent quite 3/16" but they work ok. Knifekits 5/32" ones might be the size it takes.
How well does it hold up? I recently had a BM42 stolen and I haven't recovered enough to buy another $200 knife to flip. I'm also not willing to buy something that will fall apart a week after I begin to use it.
i have one and its very sturdily made (at least so far lol) but its kinda heavy esp since ur used to using a knife w/titanium handles instead of steel
the steel handles make it kinda slo to flip but they are thick and i think they will hold up
You'll need to loctite all the screws at the least. I also replaced the brass washers with phosphor bronze ones and its smoother but thats not nessisary.
If i tried that i would no no fingers left on my hands!

You never notice this thing has 8 washers instead of 4? I replaced them right away with phosphor bronze.
entropyspigot 2 years ago
Yeah, I noticed right away too, but didn't think
much of it. Was like a last ditch effort from M tech to get rid of play.
Where do you get phospor bronze washers?
I'd like to do that but don't know where to get them.

Good to hear they have screws instead of pins. Will the bushings sold for the typhoon kits work alright?
