Both of mine were super tight out of the box, tighter than any knife I've purchased. I was almost afraid to open one of them all the way because it was so stiff, like something was wrong. Haven't touched the screws on either yet.senorsquare wrote:Mine was super tight out of the box.

Man, I can't seem to loosen it up and I'd like to avoid messing with the pivot screw.
Maybe it was the CQI changes but I was able to get the action smoothed out and still have a centered blade and solid lockup.

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
So... haven't been too active recently, but I'm still waiting on a KC preorder that I placed over 2 months ago.
They still just sent me a reminder email saying they "haven't forgotten about my order", but it is the same generic email they were sending weekly before the knife even dropped.
Think maybe I missed out on this one, or more still coming to fill my preorder?

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
If one drops at the $209 price, I'd pick it up if I were you. As its a sprint, there's no guarantee.SpeedHoles wrote:So... haven't been too active recently, but I'm still waiting on a KC preorder that I placed over 2 months ago.

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
Like others have said, I would go ahead and grab one from another vendor, they seems to be popping up randomly at a regular intervals. My KC pre-order was filled, my pre-order date was 1/8/16. I grabbed one from a different vendor also as I didn't want to miss this one and knew I wanted a user and back up anyways.SpeedHoles wrote:So... haven't been too active recently, but I'm still waiting on a KC preorder that I placed over 2 months ago.

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
When did you guys put your order in? I put a pre-order in on 5/26 and I'm afraid I got in way too late in the game. I'm thinking I should try to pick one up else where. Anyone know if these are in stock anywhere?
Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
I put my order in 5 moths ago and got tracking today. Drop an extra $50 and grab the one on the Bay for $260... If the run is really limited to 1000, I would look elsewhere if KC doesn't send you a tracking number today/tmro. IMHO...ShaneInDenver wrote:When did you guys put your order in?

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
Only collector club knifes have a number on the blade, normal sprint pieces do not. Wondering when you were going to surface on this one Harry. :DDrtyHarry wrote:Again, how come some are numbered and some are not???

Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
Just canceled two KC pre-orders from March after getting lucky from other places... Not sure if they were ever gonna ship, but maybe that freed up a couple

Usps priority $6 i believe....Cujobob wrote:That price may not include shipping charges?
And they have other good prices.
I believe the Mamba was 315, 321 shipped.
Thats pretty darn good pricing. About a couple dollars cheaper than the leading sites.
Re: 52100 Military, what are your plans?
I saw a couple of the 52100s floating around and some had numbers, others did not. I thought I had read someplace that all the 52110s were going to have a number on the blade. Guess that was a mistake...farnorthdan wrote:Only collector club knifes have a number on the blade, normal sprint pieces do not.

No matter, if it has a number on it I'll probably wouldn't use it much anyway....lol. Now where are the S110Vs at???
