I normally dont start new threads but I'm hoping you great people can help me out a bit.
A few months ago I picked up a ladybug salt HB and instantly fell in love with it. Great tip control, great snappy "action", and a monster cutter for its size. It also piqued my interest in the other :spyder: LBK's. So much so that I bought a new manbug in zdp-189.
Here's a shot of my little beauties
But much to my surprise upon receiving the man bug the "action" left more to be desired. That's when I looked a little closer and realized what was going on. As you can see in the picture below the lockbar on the ladybug needs to be disengaged quite a bit before the blade is clear of it to unlock. The same cannot be said about the manbug. A very slight depression of the manbug's lockbar will disengage the blade and there is not much spring tension on the closed knife compared to the ladybug.
Here is a shot of both with the lock disengaged.
So I guess what I'm asking is this, is this just how the manbug is due to the lockbar and pivot being further away from eachother in the wider handle?Or do I have one with a possible QC issue? Any help from fellow manbug owners would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
