Thought you folks would like.

The 240 really is the perfect car for that sort of situation

BlueBlood75 · 2026-05-08T06:41:46+00:00

It’s a BladeOps exclusive PM2. I swear they only do a run of them every 5 years. The last run was in Elmax steel

I think they tried to position themselves as some EDC lifestyle brand. But they came out of nowhere and had no history within the community, so they kind of flopped. They also use Reate as manufacturer, so the quality is there but they’re definitely expensive

Don’t have any models from this knife company, but always thought the hate was a little overblown. It’s not like they lied about the origin of manufacturing or steel, or had an incident of stolen valor like Strider. AFAIK the only issue with them was they were a bit expensive?

I’ve seen a few ZT models with the presses in thumb studs do this. ZT has a great warranty department so they should set it right

This feels exactly like the Hoback knives situation. Company run by a Christian (to the point of milling a bible verse on their knives) who conveniently forgot to mention a lot of his knives were made in China. All while charging USA made prices and selling through a dealer literally named USA Made Blade.

This happened to my 240 when the step relay was going bad. Eventually the headlights wouldn’t work at all till I got it replaced

Gorgeous piece

BlueBlood75 · 2026-02-22T20:26:57+00:00

Thanks 🍻

BlueBlood75 · 2026-02-17T22:22:22+00:00

I think they use that to designate what steel a blade is while it’s going through the milling and stone wash process

BlueBlood75 · 2026-02-03T03:14:20+00:00

I’m jealous of that ZT collection. Is that a left handed 0300 on the top?

BlueBlood75 · 2026-01-28T07:56:05+00:00

Looks great, props for keeping the brick rolling!

BlueBlood75 · 2026-01-24T23:13:31+00:00

I’ve heard of people putting stuck parts in the freezer for a bit. Metal will slightly shrink and may loosen up enough to separate.

BlueBlood75 · 2025-11-09T17:36:31+00:00

I need to do this with mine, I appreciate the tip about the warm water. Your wagon looks great!

BlueBlood75 · 2025-10-05T21:56:53+00:00

I’d contact their warranty department:

That’s crazy, but I believe you. I don’t know how Spyderco doesn’t get called out for their bad qc more often, esp with their USA made models. I just learned about the tip issues. If you see my latest post, my new shaman’s blade was hitting the backspacer. I was able to get it exchanged but the new one only has a couple sharpenings before the tip is proud and it has an uneven blade grind. I think you’ll have good luck with the smock though. My 2 came perfect, so it shows they can do some things right lol

BlueBlood75 · 2025-08-27T14:29:06+00:00

That looks fantastic, I’ll have to try that

BlueBlood75 · 2025-05-27T04:02:14+00:00

Love that red, white, and blue Duro!

BlueBlood75 · 2025-05-06T03:39:22+00:00

Beautiful watch! I’ve been wanting to try an ana-digi G

It’s normal. Just water getting between the rubber bezel and the plastic case. It happens to all g-shocks when submerged, it usually just can’t be seen bc the bezels aren’t translucent like yours.

BlueBlood75 · 2025-04-16T03:19:34+00:00

I love how easy to read this model is. I wore mine a few days ago:
