Thank you so much for watching and following along. I have such a blast bringing new content to you and am always open to chatting, so feel free to reach out anytime!
-Kev
Just what I want in a moderate use EDC blade - complicated microscopic parts and mechanisms. /faceplam
yeah not worth it, better off with a PM2
...Don't forget that it's also got that secondary lock nobody asked for....
Your frustration makes my own days frustration (a 9 out of 10) feel better in that I have suffering in company... uh.. company in suffering. Thanks!
Thanks Kev, I knew you were going to figure it out and I hung in there with you even though I was running late for a appointment 🤣😎
I'm so glad you did a disassembly on this, so i didn't have to cause i figured it would be a knife that shouldn't ever be taken apart. The crkt deadbolt lock is a pain to take apart, but this seems more complicated
Thank you so much! I literally gave up the disassembly once I got to the inside of the pivot!
After clearing out the grease, and putting in some KPL, the action is amazing! Thanks again for being brave enough to try everything, I didn't find out that the tool to I screw was that key thingy the first time I took it apart.
craziness.... thanks for sharing.
I didn’t take apart the back side with the block I just tit apart enough to remove the bearings and clean it then relubed with KPL iv you do that it only takes pretty normal amount of time to disassemble and reassemble. But it’s crazy unique I have never seen a knife built like this before. Now I like the chunky and weight to it personally. I also understand that they are doing a bigger one too.
Thank you for showing this Video. I have been wanting to see the inside of one of these. It definitely isn't an easy disassembly and reassembly for sure; it has a lot of parts. But, I still want one. I will wait for the larger PLX-F Model to come out. Again, thank you for sharing. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I didn't realize how chunky it was . Appreciate the honest review bro.
It’s pretty noticeable in hand but its thickness doesn’t really bother me in the pocket, which I’m just fine with😂
Hey, Kev! great disassembly video as always and it sure is one crazy locking mechanism.
I definitely agree with you on this knife not being worth the cost and the hassle of assembling/maintaining. Like you said, this is just a glorified button lock with 20 or so screws/pins that you gotta worry about and the mechanism seems like CRKT's Deadbolt with a small twist (a locking block instead of a rod). I believe the secondary lock is there to prevent the blade from unlocking when you grip and accidentally press the pivot as it was a concern with Deadbolt. I presume Reate's trying some different things to see if they stick or not.
So it’s a not so budget budget knife that basically a hard to disassemble button lock. Got it 👍
Kev just got my pony stout, hands down best liner lock access on the market!!!!
Awesome! Thanks
It’s like when Omega Watches came out with the Swiss/Omega Speedmaster.
You’re a braver man than I. If I took that apart it would end up in pieces in a ziplock bag 😂. Also not a speed hole guy. Thanks Kevin. You’re still my boy Blue.
This knife is the ONLY way I will EVER be able to say that I own a Reate so I am totally going to get this one!💙🔥🖤
Perseverance 💪
That would be an awesome edited ig photo, but a nightmare to maintain if it were a work user. Doing that weekly would drive me crazy. Very cool design, but not for me personally. I like my 3.25-3.75” blades, full titanium and clean designs.
Thanks for sharing bro
You are brave, or nuts. Ha 😅 Glad you got through it. But man that was crazy
Now I'll know what to do when mine arrives 😂
At first I thought that tiny fork locks the blade from closing but there’s actually a block deep down in there. The ring sets tension and sandwich the bearings and the blade together. The fork prevents the ring from spinning back off. Now I don’t have to disassemble mine to figure it out. thanks 😅
Like you mentioned in the video the pivot screw thread is way too fine and skeptical
I dunno what’s going on with your knife Kev cause they actually have a detent ball in them as well as the spring and mine had a pretty good detent out of the box I actually swapped the spring from the box cause it looked like it might be a slightly bigger spring and at least with mine it massively improved the already decent detent.
Mine has a detent on the same level as a well tuned liner lock none of the mushy detent play that you get on spring based detents, nice and crispy!
I do wish they found a way to make it thinner, it’s 50% thicker in the handle than like a pm2 or para 3 and has a chunky ass blade to match which is quite weird on such a small knife but the contoured scales stop it feeling excessively blocky.
Over all I’ve been surprised how much I like it, was a bit worried there for a second.
I’d be very interested to see how strong the lock is, I would think that steel tab that pops into the slot on the side of the blade tang would be much less likely to slip than a plunge lock but I’m no engineer 🤷
I got way more enjoyment out of that than I should've. Great content 🤣
Mini Buzz you say!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pretty much sold out of all the good colors. Might pick up a black blade orange handle.
wow- glad you got it back together- knife is too thick though
That was painful to watch but kudos for staying the course and getting it done. Making it tough to maintain is a no starter for me. Interesting lock but not worth the potential headaches in reassembly with those bearings able to slide around.
I picked the wrong first disassembly to follow along to lmao
Ooh yea. Tough one
Thanks for doing that so I don’t have to😂
I've wanted to get my hands on this knife ever since I saw Metal Complex's full dressed version. $670 is kinda crazy for this one though. I guess they're done making these? I've never seen them come up for sale since they first dropped.
The Pivot Lock or the Mah? Its on his website
@@LeftyEDC The Mah. I had no idea he was selling it again. Are you going to pick one up? I feel like if I'm going to spend that kind of $, I'd rather hold out for the full dressed version if it ever gets produced again.
@@the.shotgun.approachnah not for me but its cool
Yeah wow. Lot of parts to that design. Quite the assembly process. As far as whether it's a user or a premium? It's both and neither. It's for us, the crazy people who buy things just to see what they are like.
Im screaming about what you keep missing to my laptop!!! Think tongue and groove! I see you now have no pressure on the detent when closed. redo it!
Wow.
No skiffs for this one! 🤯😂
Wouldn’t swap it anyway it blows
Looks nice, but I just think a knife of that size should have MUCH thinner blade stock. It’s not a heavy-use folder. That looks like .120-.135”, where I think it would be better at around .090-.100”. Just my two cents.
Yea agree
Apparently, the lock requires the knife to be that thick. Did you turn your nip into a hawkbill!? That's awesome... I want one lol
We tried not sure we will run it though
@LeftyEDC I can only speak for myself, but I love me some hawkbills! Especially ones that only have a slight curve, such as your nip. It turned out beautifully!
Pro tip... never left Lefty take apart your knife! :)
The button inside the pivot will require enough travel, hence width of the knife. Wow, no.
Bet you don’t have Skiffs for that 😂
Not the cleanest ride but well worth the trip
you gotta know why you have more play then before you disassembled it. it has to do with that silver ring and that bracket that holds it in place. i dont think the safety mechanism is locking correctly....
My pivot screw stripped on day two. Knife is now useless.
Yea that was my fear with this design
Wow frustrating to watch when I can’t tell u what is wrong!😂😂
Too thick as an edc?...too many moving parts for a work knife? Imagine debris inside there.
yours is messed up mine has a hard detent with no detent lash and my friends is the same
Yikes
No thanks.
😅I'm over here yelling at my monitor... A lot of Viper folding knives are assembled this way (with that slim nut being what actually holds the pivot tension) so I knew what I was looking at immediately. That little tab locking the pivot nut in place is clever though.
Agree, wish they had gone more premium with it. The G10 doesn't do it for me on these.
No you didnt get how it worked or went back together the liners need to be tightened up yet you kept missing it but thanks for trying i guess
If u tighten the screws the liners would be tightened right?
