I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Mine is a bit further over than that. In fact, it goes over a bit more now I have cleaned it.

I'll take some pics in a bit.

The funny thing about Sebbies lockbars  is they can change a bit with use but go back to a default position when striped and put back together .

The lube I used is quite thin and it spread over the lock bar which may have caused it to go over a little more.

Still, it's maybe at 80% now which is fine.    The lock up is really impressive.

I'll bet you've even got some kind of magical handshake.


Gits.

Ben don't worry about the lockup , there was a guy over at bladeforums who used his daily for 12 years and he reckons the lockbar hasn't moved .
   Also don't worry if you grip the knife hard and the lockbar goes over and touches the other side . As long as it doesnt touch when opening .

Ben, Dunc,

Will you both please stop posting pictures...I am trying VERY hard not to buy one

It is far from touching the other side.  Here is how far mine travels;

Sorry Pal! 











Just a few quick pics whilst I had the camera out.

Ben I wouldnt say that was 80% , more like 60 . Looks perfect to me . Sometimes the pocket clip can effect it . Btw are you keeping the pocket clip ? I don't like the clip and theres no way I'm trusting it to keep the knife safe . Deep pocket carry for me .

Dunc

[Dunc]

Great pics Ben , Doesn't the blue spacer and thumb stud look nice against the grey Ti ?

That was after I took the blade out again.  It seems to not go over as far now.

I am using the clip and I quite like it.  I wonder if you would feel any different if you tried the small one?

Are you driving Flash mad on purpose? 

Yes I think it sets it off really nicely.    The blue seems pretty hard waring too, as considering this has seen quite a bit of use it has not lost much.

Ben I have the same one that you have,and I just looked at your lock picture,and at mine,and they are in the exact same place,I did rub a #2 lead pencil across where the lock slides over,and it worked a lot easier because of the graphite in it works like a lubricant.

Since taking that picture, I noticed that my pocket clip was too tight and that the tension was causing the lock to go over further than it would normally.  After a minor adjustment (yes I bent it  ) the clip is still snug on the lockbar when the blade is closed, but there is a tiny gap when the blade is open. The whole action is a lot smoother now, and the bar goes over slightly less (about 50% over).

Smitty, do you carry yours using the pocket clip or do you get on well without it?

[Benner]

I am giving it a go without the pocket clip ATM, so have replaced the clip with the insert.  I have also swapped the screws around (again  ) so they match the insert.

This is how it looks now;

 Have you tried to copy the Chris Reeve lanyard knot yet ?

Dunc

[Benner]

No not yet.  Not sure if I want a lanyard yet, but before I give it a go I want to get some black paracord.

[Dunc]

I'm keeping mine on till it falls off , which may not be that long as I keep toying with it in my pocket 
  Have you noticed how the titanium warms very quickly in the hand

You two clearly have too much time, and far too much money on your hands

I sure have.    Mind you I have pretty much been playing with it since I got it.

Time, yes, money, certainly not.  

Did have before the Sebbie though.

Yeah we have kinda been neglecting our other vice.

The Sebbie looks good AND cuts well.  Does that make it a MT?

Some people just can't recognise quality.

Most definitely although I dont think the others would agree . I think Sebbies should have their own sub forum
