Interestingly, the detent on my original dimpled version is massively strong. I still cannot finger flick it open. The action also appears to be less smooth on mine compared to some reports of the new one.

Could it just be that the pivot is a little too tight?Brock O Lee wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 2:57 pmInterestingly, the detent on my original dimpled version is massively strong.

For whatever reason your tip is sitting up a tiny bit higher than mine.Matus wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 11:12 amI don't really expect this to be a particular problem in use (as you don't really grab this part of the blade to get the knife out of the pocket), but my fingers catch on the tip even if I just run them against the tip with the slightest pressure.VooDooChild wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 7:19 amI just ran my fingers back and forth over the spine of the tip where it meets the backspacer.
My fingers did not catch on the tip.
I could get my fingernail under the tip but thats not the same as running your hand/fingers along the outside curve of the knife.
The tip is very close to being exposed, but I have had other knives just like that and never had a problem. In fact one of the old cheap knives I used to cary actually had a tip that you could catch and it never gave me any issues.
Also the choil grip works for large hands. My pinky lands just behind the middle point in that grip. But the standard grip is so good that I default to it.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I can not catch the tip on either of mine and neither shake open.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
Being a lefty, the new "show side" was kinda boring. Took it to the same local shop I had my Swayback done at.

Yes it was laser engraved.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
Not only does it give me a show side, but the laser etch or engraving feels nearly identical to the texture of the g10 so it feels better in hand imo.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I wish this knife would sell out already. Even though I wish it had more edge it's still very tempting.
Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I ended up just buying one in the end

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I found one for a deal secondary.
I’m shocked these haven’t sold out….

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
I waited a couple of days before ordering mine, but I am really glad I decided to get one. This knife lives up to its name! It is beefy, in a really great way. It balances well and sits better in my pocket than I would have expected for such a hefty knife. I encourage anyone on the fence to get one. You'll be glad you did!

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
Now that the dust has settled, the knife is actually still available. I love to play with it, but I am struggling to find some real use for it. Those of you that actually decided to use it - what to you use it for? I am looking for some inspiration ... otherwise I will most likely sell it (with a huge loss as I have imported to EU what has cost me well over $100)

You can always sell it for a loss later so why not hang onto it until you find out what you like to use it for.Matus wrote: Now that the dust has settled, the knife is actually still available.

Its pretty much a folding kukri so its probably good at chopping. Im definitely not afraid to pry with the tip. I was using mine to pry some of those giant staples out of some 2x4s the other day.

Re: Mystery DLT Exclusive
While I haven’t used mine for much yet….. I did use the 3v version for chopping, prying, etc. it handled it with ease. One of my favorite things about this knife is you don’t have to angle for the proper cut, you pretty much keep a neutral wrist every time.VooDooChild wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 7:47 amYou can always sell it for a loss later so why not hang onto it until you find out what you like to use it for.Matus wrote: Now that the dust has settled, the knife is actually still available.
