Spyderco Military FAIL & design flaws

If it's gona have a stainless steel lockbar add on & three spacers that require 2 males each down the handle that's a lot of possible rust. Plus I like Chris Reeve grease in my pivot but after one disassembly & now we got a blade that's off centered & stiff along with a goofy lock up now. Plus one screw is stripped & we used teflon tape between the screw head & tool just for security! Spyderco knew about the stop pin that's why those two screws had a mess of locktite. Bottom line is a Para 2 & especially a Sage 2 are leagues above the construction quality of this knife. Next to a Strider the little screws on a military look like Boker China stuff... Can't recommend a knife that can't be maintained properly especially if it's s30v & you get it to rust or dirty from outdoor use & then you'll strip your screws after a couple breakdowns.

Note: when I said stainless steel lock up I meant the new plate that's on the lockbar I am aware that it's a titanium bar

This is the best reveiw on a Spyderco or any other knife i have seen. basically what a "reveiw" should be like. Thanks for the great info. Hope you keep it up!!!

@colubrid2 wow thanks when I get to this older vid & see there's a comment in my inbox I worry cuz people really like their knives lol I talk to guys that customize this knife & say the screws are crappy & even eric glesser at the USN show said their next knives coming out they are aiming for better hardware. The japan smaller screws are good though for some reason.

Ok, Shitty knife. Can I buy it from you for $100? :)

[NeptuneKnives]

@MrVegaslive hell yeah you can email me!

You void your warranty by taking the knife apart. It's a pillar construction for a reason. You can deep-soak it in warm, soapy water, and air blast it dry. Then get some Tuff-Glide with a needle applicator, and precision lube it. I use my fluted-ti in the field everyday, have used it in muddy, wet, dusty, dry, and everything it between and that cleaning method has worked everytime. I have no pitting, rust, or any other oxidation.

@xDEMONIZEDx Wow thanks I will try this. It may suck only if I can't get to air blast dry it if I'm out for an extended period. But thisis good tips for if it's an edc that goes home with you hmm.... thank you

amazing that i have taken my knife apart at least 5 times, i think the problem you have is your lack of cognitive abilities....
