Re: Manix titanium ball bearing cage

Re: Manix clicking
Is there a lubricant you would recommend to prevent galling? I don't like the look of the black plastic ball cage and want to keep my titanium ball cage. But, it's just not as smooth. Thanks!

My theory is that 1) smaller hands may have less leverage to open the lock comfortably due to hand positioning and 2) s...

Re: Manix II spring tension
Hello, Are you satisfied with the tension on these springs? I installed some lighter springs that I bought on eBay, but they are a little too light (makes it hard to flick). I noticed that this manufacturer you linked to has a few different springs with various tension. Is your just right for flicki...

Re: Jade/M4 Yojimbo
Thanks. Lots of good info in there. My setup is pretty basic but I did leave out some things I’m doing during the process. Acetone is used to clean the blade etc, this removes oils and helps with an even etch. I use gloves the whole time. I use nail polish to protect the pivot etc, then clear aceto...
