this was my first pm2 and i must say its nice, but i like this manix better. the g10 is really nice but the action on mine is pretty stiff. cant flick it open and have to use some force to get it to close. im sure it will break in or i gotta losen the pivot some. only thing is i dont have the right torx bit for it. ugh.
There must be an adjustment needed or maybe some lube and break in .i am travvy wrote:this was my first pm2 and i must say its nice, but i like this manix better. the g10 is really nice but the action on mine is pretty stiff. cant flick it open and have to use some force to get it to close. im sure it will break in or i gotta losen the pivot some. only thing is i dont have the right torx bit for it. ugh.
I think I got lucky with mine because the action is really smooth and flicks open and closes effortlessly right out of the box . My blade is dead center also .

Oh, and if this is your first PM2, you'll probably fall in love with it. I can't think of a better knife for the money off the top of my head...it's just superb.
Yes this is my first PM2 and yes sir you are correct I've fallen in love already in just the first 15 minutes of bonding :D
It feels so good in my hand and the action is so nice ! I've got a couple of lanyards ordered should be here Monday and can't wait . Do you know what size Torx bits I need to change the clip I might change to tip up plus they'd be good to have . Also I normally Froglube my knifes but this one is so smooth and clean I hate to put any lube in there right now so it won't attract any dirt but it looks dry although the action is smooth as silk .Might just treat the blade what's your opinion . Thanks in Advance !

The clip screws are a T7. Swapping to tip up was one of the very first things I did (I prefer tip up and wish I could make my CruWear Millie tip up).TheFactor wrote:LoL ok pics to follow :D

I ended up picking up T6, T8 and T10 . The T6 fit but had a tiny bit of play didnt even think of a T6 . Fortunately the clip screws weren't even tight on my tenacious they came out by hand with no wrench . I was actually surprised how loose they were but the PM2 screws were snug but still not over tightened thank goodness . I was going to heat them up if they were to loosen up the loctite . So all 3 of my spidies now are tip up and I threw some blue loctite on them . For sure I'll need a T7 if I even need to take them off again .3rdGenRigger wrote:The clip screws are a T7.

So the wife and I went out on one of our little day trips over the mountain and I found this! It had been on a shelf at a little sporting goods store. Picked it up for a hundred dollars and tax!
