Cheers Kev - I'll do a review once I've carried it a bit.  :tu:

where do you store the pin?  :think:
I've only just received it but at the moment it's in the little holder - it came with a couple of spares as well. I'll have to think about the whole 'fixed blade' thing if I take it out and about.

cool that you got spares, that always worried me about the design  :salute:

Apparently CRKT are pretty good at sending out spares if you request them.  :tu:

It pretty good.  I tweaked the pivot again yesterday (who'd have though the screws had metric hex holes?  Winner. :)) and the action is a little better now.  It still feels like it's bedding in, but I'm tempted to thin the washers down a little to allow me to apply a bit more torque to the screws without the pivot stiffening up completely.  At the moment they're just a little over finger tight and I'm concerned about them coming loose.

It also needs stropping and/or sharpening - the factory edge is a bit blunt.  I'll dig out my Lansky and give it a go later.  The insingo blade shape is perfect - the tip is exactly where I want it and there's just enough belly for cutting down onto a board.  On my SAKs I like the combination of the large spear and electrician's blade; with this I don't feel that I need to have both shapes. :)

(I really like mine too.)

Sebenza again. :D

I wasn't happy with the action - it felt smooth but as though there was something metallic rubbing somewhere.  Turns out the bronze washers have a smooth side and sharp side - due to the punching process that's used to manufacture them, most likely.  I flipped them over so the smooth side was running against the blade, added a bit more grease and took a bit more care over reassembly.  I tweaked the lock bar a little to reduce the force needed to unlock the knife too.  Much better. :tu:

I have the Aluminum version. It's lighter then the Ti version. If you want a tank, go for Ti.
IMHO, for a large folder, it is a great knife.
Pros's: very nice design, superb ergonomics, high quality build and finish, good flipping action for such a big blade, steel lockbar insert, and the price is quite reasonable for what you get.
Cons: Sleipner steel is a very tough steel, takes a great edge, but it does stain and you need to wipe it dry after wet use. Factory edge is convex, you can love it or hate it, I re-profiled it. It's a bit fiddly to take apart at first due to the integral handle design. (still the design is a pro)
The only thing that holds this knife back from true knife nut stardom is the lack of a supersteel blade. If Lionsteel would use M360 on this beast, it would sell like hotcakes, and heck, I would prefer it over my ZT0562CF.
Anyway, even with Sleipner, it's one of my favorite larger blades.
(The one in the middle)

Just wondering if you put it back together wrong, or weather it came from the factory like that?
