Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: Back when I was researching the TRE, it came up that that was the idea behind the knife on a forum where LS was active. Under 3" and you can remove the flipper or the thumb disc or both. Consider though, for the TRE, the G10 one like mine has an integral flipper (and costs less) vs. the Ti and CF ones with the swedge that have the Three Rapid Exchange thing with the removable. So they have no issue making different blades for the same model it seems and they use the removable deal on the higher end one by choice. I bet the Kur would be pretty cool without the flipper. Just pinch open. Nice it can be removed in that way, just looks odd not being used to it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: No issues with the RGT (from WIC). It centered up nicely, action is great, and they are nested nicely. If I pinch it hard in the middle there is a little flex but nothing off-putting or that you would notice in use. It is progressive - it will give a little but firms up quickly and you can't squeeze it past that. https://i.imgur.com/FiQ4MKa.jpg (didn't get it lined up quite right for the pic - it is actually slightly closer to the right side) https://i.imgur.com/jAHtJ8x.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iVOapkv.jpg I can't remember who I got mine from right now, some Euro maker but mine made my blade ever so slightly off-center. Not super noticeable but you can see it if you look for it. |

Or will retail price be laughably lower? When is Lynn coming back? |
