Again, your advice is spot on. The able lock on my Hogue(manual) and Microtech folders stick , infrequently. I am enjoying Magnacut anf Ritter's excellent handle.
I have a ProTech that had the same blade movement that you experienced when you first opened the knife. Mine was due to oil on the blade notch that the button lock seats into. Once I eliminated the oil there was no more movement and the lock seated all the way.
That little bit of stick is a good thing in a brand new auto. They use a very specific coating to allow for even and repeatable wear. This is why I like to wait to oil these styles of knives to allow them to properly break in which helps with lifespan of all operating parts as well as blade play. Some knives certainly take longer than others for proper break in but once properly broken in you can greatly increase life span with some nano or similar style oil as well as dialing in your pivot screw for even better, solid blade locking to eliminate blade play.
I normally wouldn't have bought a Hogue, but they have all been absolutely superb. I have the Deka in carbon fiber with a tritium insert & the Rsk-1 & I just got the same in an Auto. Zero regrets & Imo, they do a better job than Benchmade.
I been eyeing Knife Works’ Doug Ritter selection for sometime thinking “Great Knife for a great cause I need to save me pennies and get one someday!” and this just adds to the options. Normally this is where I say “thanks for sharing”however your just had to show the K320 and it’s 4 position pocket clip and put that back on the radar…Thank, thanks a lot …can I borrow a few buck so I can get both?
They seem to only produce them a few at a time and not often. I must have signed up for notification because I was able to pick up a full size a few months back. They went quick. The non auto Magnacut was also available shortly after I bought mine but I’m holding out on the Magnacut version hoping someday they’ll run it harder. The Magnacut version didn’t last long either.

Paused to order one. I also have an original Benchmade RSK, and a Houge RSK

Great info! Thanks 👍

Great info! Much appreciated 👍
Got mine a few weeks ago. I love it so far. The ergos are great and the action is snappy.
Stumbled across this knife while looking for a magnacut auto: immediately put in cart. Luckily found this video: immediately completed the purchase.
Enjoy! I'm sure you'll love it! 👌🗡️👍
Somehow I haven't owned a hogue . They have been killing it.

Didn’t know this existed….thanks for being an enabler!😊😊
Any time! 😄🗡️👍
Due in late this week….passing on dinner until funds are recouped. One must have one’s priorities, you know.
I'll be ordering one soon I'm just waiting to see if it comes down a little more during Black Friday.

I'll think that over... 🤔🗡️😁
Love that blade shape..I'm curious how the button would work with wet or gloved hands
Large enough to actuate positively, either way I feel. 👍🗡️
Very cool! Great video 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Im getting the purple one next week
Congrats! Great choice. 👊🗡️👍
I think when the button breaks in it will be fine. The button looks coated where it locks up with the blade.
👍🗡️👊
Great review! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Very nice good video👍
Thank you 👍
Mine is arriving Wednesday
Great! Enjoy 👍🗡️👊
Can this be operated left-handed easily?
Yep, index finger...
@@OGBladeReviewssweet! Thanks for letting me know!
The button grinding starts going away pretty quickly after a few weeks of deploying 10 or 15 times a day.. i have zero issues.😢
Excellent! I suspected it would. 👍🗡️
Not a huge auto guy, and still really need to get a regular Ritter hogue.
Yeah those regular ritters are definitely in short supply as far as I can see with the exception of the minis....
