I reckon I'm takin somewhat a gamble on the new Starmate. But, I like it and am willing to.

If the detent is weak, one thing you can try to strengthen it is to add more tension to the lock bar. To accomplish this, you will likely need to disassemble the knife (and void the warranty :rolleyes: ) and very carefully bend the lock bar so there's more tension on the blade's tang when it's closed. Or, you could send it to Spyderco and have them tweak it for you.MacLaren wrote:Thank you :). I really hope I do.gbelleh wrote:I hope you enjoy it! I don't mind the rough ricasso, or slight rattle of the lanyard tube. But I don't like that my Starmate has no closed retention at all. That's the only reason I don't carry it anymore. One day, I might get around to sending it in to Spyderco to see if it could be improved.
No closed retention. That's not good. It sure wouldn't hurt to see what they could do...
I have considered taking it apart and seeing if I could deepen the detent notch or something. But I'm really not much of a modder. I should just send it in.SpyderNut wrote:If the detent is weak, one thing you can try to strengthen it is to add more tension to the lock bar.

I'm glad I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one.
Hopefully, she'll be here next week. I'll take a lot of pics and do an initial impression thread.

You ever get yours?
Please let us know how the F&F is on yours when you receive it. For some reason, I keep thinking about getting another Starmate... :oDonut wrote:I saw someone mention a price somewhere so I searched around for who had it for a good price. Amazon has them for a resonable price (plus tax). I placed an order earlier this week.
I didn't notice until I just looked at Marcus's pictures that this is a Moki model.
