Locktite in Manix2?

#1

Post by Knutty »

I just disassembled my Manix2 (G-10 / S30V / C101GP2). I don't normally disassemble my knives, ever, so pardon a stupid question.

The clip and scale screws all had Locktite blue on them, and one of the two pivot screws had Loctite red on them (that one was fun to get out). I thought no Spydercos left the factory with threadlocker on them. Was I wrong, or did I buy a used Manix2?

Thanks. Stupid me, I took this at face value.
