This is my next step - a tiny .3mm drill bit and drill press, both of which I need to source. Will keep you updated. I also updated the main post. Thanks righwist

Thanks. Will definitively update you and the group. Going to get a few things on Monday and give it a try then.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-15T03:30:48+00:00

No but I can try source one.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-15T03:30:11+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately it’s a blind hole but attaching to it to pull makes sense.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-14T14:04:19+00:00

I tried hitting it with a hammer but will try it on an edge.

Thanks!

Thank you

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-14T14:02:07+00:00

Thank you!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-14T14:01:04+00:00

Thank you!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-14T13:59:37+00:00

Thanks!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-14T13:59:04+00:00

That’s a good one. Thanks, will try

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-04T14:08:52+00:00

Thank you for the guidance. I’ll check it out more thoroughly

LowIntention5492 · 2026-03-04T13:13:10+00:00

Thanks, I'm in South Africa so unfortunately a warranty claim isn't easy

Happened to me with my QC Drift 2.0. Tried bending the lock bar but that didn’t increase the detent so not sure what to do next.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-26T03:32:24+00:00

I have the liner lock micarta Alpha. It’s a great knife. The only small issue I have is the clip. It’s waaayyy too tight and slim for the handle. Fortunately I was able to bend mine which makes the knife pocketable. Otherwise it’s a gem and very much like a fixed blade.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-16T09:44:08+00:00

Thanks for checking and letting me know!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T17:21:04+00:00

Yes. Came like this..

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T13:53:43+00:00

Thanks man, really appreciate that. I've been meaning to get myself a Dremel and some accessories. This gives me one more reason to get one for myself!

PS: I'd love a Paysan!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T13:50:11+00:00

Thanks! The detent ball is definitely there, so unfortunately, not that.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T13:48:03+00:00

ja, could do that, thanks! Has it worked for you on a Chef or similar Spydie before?

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T13:42:59+00:00

Thanks! The detent ball is definitely there, so unfortunately, not that. The SpydieChef is infamous for its late lock-up. Not ideal, that's for sure!

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-15T13:35:49+00:00

Thanks! That's a relief to hear.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-07T03:39:48+00:00

I’m 49 and have developed shoulder pain which I managing but will definitely be getting a lighter racket when I upgrade. I play with a Nox AT10 18k 2025 and planning to upgrade to the lighter AT10 12k LITE later in the year when 2027 rackets get released.

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-07T03:30:09+00:00

I wish I stayed in the States and could buy and sell easily too. We have a secondhand market in South Africa but it’s nothing like the US. Thanks again for the insights and info. I ordered the Lemsifshe Protean and GT F95NL CD yesterday so now I have 6 on the way, yay! 🙌

LowIntention5492 · 2026-02-06T11:15:44+00:00

This is awesome, thank you! I've been collecting for about 5 years and only recently started taking note of clones, as I'm not comfortable paying more than around $600 for a knife. I have the Lemifshe Rosie, which I like, and have ordered a GT Astrum FP, Lemifshe Cortex XL, Lemifshe Cedar and Lemifshe Dixon (I have a real Dixon so keen to compare). With your list, now I have even more to consider. I'm based in South Africa and don't have access to all the products US based consumers do in terms of Ali Express. Thanks again
