Just pre-ordered this knife in the blue. My hardest decision was which blade style. I ended up going with the clip point but the wharncliffe blade is interesting too. Looking forward to receiving it. Nice video Nick. It was good seeing the takedown of the knife and seeing the makeup of it inside.
Wharnie is definitely more interesting, imo, but as someone who sharpens and mirror polishes their own knives, I stay away from tantos, recurves, etc... not impossible, just not something I want to think about.
I carried my 580 barrage with assisted Axis and after seven years of hard carry it was pretty dang clean when i finally disassembled it. And voided the warranty. Lol
Where can I find that pivot tool you used to get the pivot screw back in? I checked the Amazon list of tools but didn't see this and it looks like it would make putting my Bugout back together way easier.

Do you know how to takes the thumb studs off of the Hogue Deka Ver1? No one seems to put a video out about it. Is it a special tool the Hogue uses? No torque bit fit?
Whats the secret with your loctite stick, I have two stick of that and mines nowhere near the consistency of yours. Yours is almost wet on the screw like the liquid form would be and mines like a gel almost. I end up having to apply it inside the female side of the pivot. It doesn't say gel on it but its almost like a jello consistency. Its also semi transparent as well which yours dont seem to be. Ive been meaning to ask this for a while and I know its kind of a weird question.
Imported the Deka to the Netherlands.., used it for a month, sold it.. de action, compared to zt0452, felt like a toy.. all in all I'm not fan of the axis mechanism and the handle too short for my taste. I ended up equipping the pocket sword with taco bearing, its so good, you have to give those a try Nick.
I maintained my Deka on arrival and made it so smooth it has become illegal. My Deka now swings open with a simple flick without touching the lock. Making it basically a gravity knife which is illegal in Hawaii. Any idea how I can tighten it up a little?
David B Knives that open by inertia are illegal in Hawaii (2) by operation of inertia, gravity, or both, www.honolulupd.org/information/index.php?page=deadlyweapons
@@Rust.Bucket I agree. I used to live in NYC and they have same rule. It's a standard joke that NYC cops practice strong wrist flick open so they can arrest pretty much anyone with a knife if they want to, haha.
@@NickShabazz I can't descripe it good enough in English. But I try. What you describe is a Natural frequency. Every component has a Natural frequency. When you stimulate a component, then it's resonance. When your stimulating frequency matches the natural frequency of the compenent, the resonance is at highest. That could even damage the component.
Hey Nick, where is that pivot tool from that you used to assist in the alignment during the reassembly? It looks like a handy tool. It isn't found using nickshabazz.com/tools.
It's this tool here. He went into more detail on a video a while back... www.etsy.com/listing/802588665/pivot-alignment-tool-for-axis-lock?ref=yr_purchases
