I'd rack it up to battling a head-cold. I know my thinking gets pretty messed up when my head is filled with sludge. I'll give the man a break on the AD10 - AD15 confusion.
Cold Steel has been around for over 30 years . I know you edc guys like to laugh , but you don't stay in business that long if your making junk . CS has been making good knives for the Military and First Responders and Woodsmen for a long time.
Feel better soon, Nick! thanks for taking the time to do this video, you could easily have justified skipping a disassembly on a backlock but you did it anyway, appricate it!
Is that minuscule amount of thread locker effective? I don’t submerge all the threads with it but at least the bottom 3 rows. If that tiny amount is enough to keep pivots from loosening, I will start using even less
I've had mine for about a month. She is a finger guillotine. I have a couble friends and coworkers who have cut themselves pretty badly when closing her. I now recommend to people new to the AD10 to close her two handed.
We should be able to choose, but nope, nothing but flat out there. Still a great knive. Mine is on it's way. Looking at thinner blade geometry knives for hollow grind.
What are the size of the screws? I want to remove the belt clip altogether but the screws are different lengths to keep it flush. So to remove the clip and keep it flush i need some replacement screws but cant find out what size they are anywhere..
Looks like a modifiable lock spring ! Take a few pounds off without losing to much blade retention ! I take out the teflon waahers usually ! And I uas plumbers teflon tape because I hate locktite !
The AD-10 is the first 'Expensive' knife I've ever owned from my budget perspective. I've owned a ton of $10 to $15 knives like Tac Cool and other junk brands, I make them work. My daily carry was a Kershaw Volt SS I loved because it's a large 4" blade with very thin construction. The AD-10 is a totally different beast, it's as hefty as the Volt SS is thin and slim yet it has become my daily knife. Thank you for the straight forward video, in all the years I've carried knives I've never disassembled a folder before. This one is special to me so I'll be maintaining this as I intend to keep it for as long as I'm around to carry a pocket knife ;-)
Solid looking knife... Curious if you've had issues with screws being to short on the pocket clip? Also 🤣 Ill just just clean this part right here, and place it in the dirt over there.
The through pins that hold the back and the clip in are garbage. Benchmade did a better job with their Adamas by keying the end of the pin and cutting a keyed hole into the inner scale.
The liners are un- necessary! Reasonable prices for a good protmduct ! They do ads like 1960 knife ads ! In the 60's there was very very limited access to information !
