I've been carrying the Domino since I first got it, about a year or so ago. It's even managed to displaced my modded PM2 s90V from daily carry. While the overall ergos of the PM2 are somewhat more versatile, I just can't get over that danged flipper and bearings! Waaay to addictive!
I've a tinkerer by nature, though, so I just can't resist tweaking things that I think could be improved. So what have I done?
1) Replaced the factory bearing with some replacement 1/4" bearings from USA Knifemaker. They have brass cages, and in all honesty, seem to run a bit more smoothly and with lower maintainence than the stock ones
2) Increased the detent pressure using the method described by Modifiedz on his youtube channel (he was doing it on Hinderers, but same effect!)
Both those things combined to make a flipper which just *shoots* the blade open. Good thing there's the steel insert, if not the Ti would be somewhat worn down by now...
3) WAVE!!!
Have gotten reasonably good at waving Spydercos now, so the mods are not only working well, but I think are blending in ok with the overall lines of the blade. The feel is a bit different on the Domino, since the opening hole is a bit more forwards from the pivot, and I don't really believe in cutting through the hole for waving (it makes a really effective wave, but doesn't do favours for blade strength). Have managed to preserve the blade logos during the modding of my PM2, but unfortunately the Spyder had to donate 2 legs to make this one work...
Combine that with the smoothness of the bearings, and the increased detent pressure, and it makes for one consistent wave opening! Thanks for looking!
