Hey! thx for the comment. and yeah I'm aware, its pretty interesting, just my main point is that is the knife manufacturers fault, not the consumer, if they designed a "military grade" knife that you may need to save your life while injured or in a panic, that if you don't actuate it just right, it fails.

I agree and it’s definitely a 200 dollar knife but no otf is 100% reliable. I carried the shootout for about a year before I got my zbt and it has been great. Honestly a lot of knife makers are getting out of control with the pricing.

I was also going to ask if there are any resources you might recommend for finding older discontinued knives

​@@Justaguy-e4w hmmm not older no sorry. I get a lot of my knives off of govx and expertvoice

hm interesting, makes sense. I thought was to wear less on the aluminum but seems a little excessively loose. my dirac delta is very tight. I personally prefer the "AR" methodology over "AK". tight tolerances to keep things out in the first place vs loose for continued operation after fod ingress

lol slow and awkward? Even if that was the case, it shouldnt matter how the switch of a $500 knife thats marketed for the military in desert environments is pressed.it's well known infidels actions fire weak/sluggish compared to other OTF's. Meanwhile, I have a $25 OTF that still fires harder that I've used on the daily deployed in the desert while my infidel has sat in a drawer most of its life having this many issues

I like my other OTF's a lot personally, but I respect your opinion. None of my others have had any issues esp nowhere near as bad as this +$500 one lol. I have a $15 otf I've used for years and it's never had a single issue, so I'm really disappointed with the Infidel

@wishonafish I find them pretty much useless. They never have good lock-up and are finicky and usually need regular maintenance. I've owned 2 but they just ended up laying around because I never used them. I've handled a bunch though and have never been interested in another. They're fun to flick, but I wouldn't spend more than $50 on one.

@vorpalblades The ZBT I posted a vid of has perfect lockup and zero blade play, but I feel you. For utility, I prefer a simple flipper or fixed blade. Except my $15 otf, all my OTF I have more to admire and as fidget toys lol. I wouldn't by against daily carrying my Kershaw Livewire tho

really seems like it. It was functioning better after just soap and water than after just lune. thx for your comment!

that's reassuring, I'm pretty new to collecting knives as a hobby, had the infidel for ages but got my first microtechs not too long ago and was really hoping they wouldn't eventually be this bad.

Thx for the comment! I know you can send it in, but yes I wouldn't have thought that much stuff gets in on its own, interesting. Do you have the same issue with other OTF's by any chance? because I used to EDC a very cheap otf for years (still sorta do) and its been abused and never had this issue, meanwhile my Infidel sits in a case and still developed this issue.

@@wishonafish Well, you are correct I think it is the interworking of the knife only. My other OTF knives, by the way MUCH less pricey do not have this problem. Open it up and see the insides, very interesting engineering.

yeah, that was the last resort, but it's finally good. It sat a couple days now, checked it n still firing well for an infidel. Thx for the comment!

Yeah rest of knife is so clean I was like eh, that's kinda lame. esp for $400

The button on mine was fine but I took it apart to put some white lithium grease on the spring to help negate the noise from it, and now the button is loose. I don’t know if I put it together wrong or what but it works fine. The only sad thing is the spring still makes a ton of noise

​@@LoganLawrence hmm that's interesting

I'm not a big fan of this specific stone wash, it usually depends knife to knife on which I prefer personally. and I'm sure they will, seems like they're essentially redoing their entire inventory with ZBT.

and yeah ik haha sorry, I grabbed the first piece of paper, thats why I grabbed another, Im new to these vids so I promise they'll get better and more planned out in the future

Same to you!

whats up! thanks for the comments a subscription. and maybe I worded it poorly, definitely not hard to open, just the edges of the switch would def rub my thumb raw if I was using it as a fidget toy. and I turn wrenches on helicopters all day so promise I dont have sissy hands, I can link a vid of a much bigger knife tuber sharing the same opinion on the "sharp" edges of the knife if youd like. and no offense taken, I appreciate criticism! edit: edges of the knife switch

Sorry! I'll time stamp it next time, it's a before/after lube vid not just the lube

The blue zx6r 636 at the end was mine haha

David Truong cause he panick braked most likely. What would you have done mister good driver?

yup, thats fine! thank you

@@wishonafish thanks man, I have finished my compilation and included you video, check out MOTORCYCLE CRASHES AND MISHAPS | BAD DRIVERS AND MOTO FAILS 2019 [EP.#12] and hopefully you'll find it good and add me to your list:) Thanks

Dom Hawtin maybe you should rewatch the video... I did not put myself into her blind spot... at all...idk how you came to that conclusion, but you're entitled to your opinion. She was coming off of the interstate and tried to harshly cut across my lane and the solid white line at a sharp angle in order to get into the turning lane to my left. I've been riding on the street for 6 years and have avoided countless situations like this. I swerved immediately, but this was almost unavoidable.

Im not saying you were at fault at all, entirely her fault...but right rear side of her car? That's her blind spot, hence she said she didn't see you. Chances are she wasn't looking either. I've watched this a number of times and firmly believe that you could have defensively not been there...HOWEVER that all depends on when you saw her and from this camera angle I cannot see either yours or her speeds (no suggestion at all of wrong speeds...Im just saying I don't know how fast she was going or if you were at a constant speed, cant tell from video). If you saw her as she cut the lane then no chance for you...if you saw her as she entered your road then you could have done something, imho). That is my opinion from what little I can see of this....I wasn't there, you were and you have first hand knowledge of what actually occurred. Anyway the best thing is you're here, not injured and we are having this conversation. :) peace.

Dom Hawtin I understand where you're coming from, I just know you're wrong. & I know you're not saying I'm at fault, I just don't like being criticized about this situation from someone that was not there, but it's the Internet so it's expected just not welcomed. It was the left rear of the car* and if I did end up in her blind spot, I did not put myself there as my speed was constant at ~55mph. She was clearly going faster than me and I may have been in her blind spot for a split second as a result of her catching up and passing me. I swerved before her car even touched the white line. My friends that were there (also experienced riders) said there was nothing I could have done. If you've ever been in an accident that wasn't your fault, I'm sure you wouldn't have enjoyed people from the outside looking in, telling you that your lack of ability, riding style, and attentiveness kept you from avoiding it.

Dom Hawtin but again, we all have our opinions and though I disagree I respect yours. Have a good one

I appreciate your explanation and I get more from what you are mentioning that from the video. Like I say, I wasn't there and I only have the one video view. The left/right was a typo. I definitely am not commenting on any lack and apologise if that is how it comes across. Additional watches and noticing her running the bike over suggests her fast lane change were faster than initially thought. Everything is easy to critique from an armchair and perhaps my initial comments are somewhat naive and hasty. I will leave it at that. Glad you're ok.

lordshampoo ....yeah because 06 636's had abs..as if it would've helped, I would've just been pancaked

unfortunately my frame slider got jammed into the frame bending it, so bike was totaled =/ I came out fine though

a fine for what? It was clearly her fault... THERE IS VIDEO PROOF WTF

No, he means he came out fine... as in it all worked out in his favour...
