It is called tuning the detent or the strength that the detent ball resists opening due to the pressure of the lockbar with the detent ball. That detent ball has overcome the geometry of the detent hole and the angle of the edge to roll out of the hole. Once it does, the stored static energy from the pressure applied to the flipper or fuller is changed to kinetic energy and launches the blade open. Some people like a very firm and crisp opening while others like a somewhat firm/crisp opening. Still others like an even less firm opening. This is typically referred to a strong, moderate, or light detent. In some cases, front flipper and fuller deployment favors a moderate to light detent. A regular flipper like this and fuller deployments favor a moderate detent. Flipper only or big thumbhole openings can favor a firm deployment. I disassemble the knife and very slightly bend the lockbar to adjust this. I recommend doing this on a cheaper knife your first time.
made a beautiful knive a wonderful knife
Yes, indeed!!
Love it
It is such an amazing knife!!
👍🏻
🤜💥🤛👍🤓
What adjustment was made to the lock bar? What was the purpose bending it?

@@Robs_Nerdy_Knives Didn't know that was possible to manage detent that way. Thanks for the info.
