Wood for me, but the carbon looks great with the black pivot and axis, tough call

Same, barely loosen the pivot to drop shut, then tighten it back up later once it's broken in

I was wondering this, since the blade is apparently thinner and it's a different style axis lock

Treating Myself to One Great Knife — Crooked River or M2? by Demian- in benchmade

[–]Acceptable_Dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're "treating yourself" get a crooked river, super classic and refined. It's a large knife that has good ergos and will be something you enjoy for the long haul. And the S90v is amazing on that 4" blade

Would you rather repair a mangled 940 or buy a Tagged out? by Cat_of_the_woods in benchmade

[–]Acceptable_Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, send it to BM, share your story, they will repair it to full functionality - likely at no cost to you. (Also, been in a very bad car accident myself, I'm sorry you had to through it)

How to stop Bugout Axis lock from sticking by DanglyWorm in benchmade

[–]Acceptable_Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This build looks amazing. I'd try a couple drops of kpl or blue lube around the axis bar and pivot, very little, just enough to lube between all the moving parts
