| 760 Detent? | Login/Join |
Forumite  |
For yall that have one of the new 760 how strong is your detent? Mine seems really weak if not nonexistent. I mean I can open the knife with just a wrist flick. I don't want to send it into BM if this is just inherit to the design of the knife. _____________________________________________________ 201-91, 551H2O, 610BK, 705BC1CF Forum, 705, 10115 | ||

I don't have one.. But I've heard others say that it can be opened with a wrist flick, too.. So I don't think you're alone. I prefer a little more detent, myself. -Bill | |||

I had the same problem and found out that BM did not put loctite on the pivot screw. This was a minor adjustment. I removed the pivot screw add loctite and adjusted the pivot screw to my liking. __________________________ * Allen Elishewitz Preservation Society Founding Member #3 * Brotherhood of the 420 & Viceroy of the Knights of the Gravitator Member * Lum Lunatics Charter Member #15 * President of the Gentleman Society for the Preservation of the 960 Innova * Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance Member #2 * Blackwood Society member #610 Red, Blue and Black Class, Pre-Productions, Limited Editions | |||

I had one of the Blackwater versions and it also flicked well. I always thought it was the weight of the blade that did it. A 760's on the "A-List" when I can get to one. 350, 520, 525, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

I have versions of both the Blackwater and 760 and all of them display a comparitively weak detent to hold the blade in the closed position. | |||

As above ...... just tighten the pivot a little to what you like........ If you notice , there is no blade play with this easy openning  Personally , I love it ........ if I wanted something hard to open , I,d get a lock back knife. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contempt Prior to Investigation - Dont knock it till you,ve tried it.

No it's just a poorly executed ball detent. My large Skirmish has excellent detent using the same design. If I tighten the pivot to the point that the blade doesn't come flopping out it's almost impossible to open. O well it'll make a good safe queen. _____________________________________________________ 201-91, 551H2O, 610BK, 705BC1CF Forum, 705, 10115 | |||
